Which one is for you
Pick SearchPie if

Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, as product price, rating, stock and FAQ schema need Premium at $39 a month
- Pricey if you want keyword research or tracking, which need Enterprise at $99 a month
- Watch out: SearchPie's own pricing page lists a $399 Plus plan that the Shopify listing doesn't show
- Watch out: one-off SEO and speed services are sold separately on its site
- Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it runs nowhere else
Pick TinySEO if
- Fits if heavy product images are slowing your Shopify store down
- Works for merchants wanting image, speed and SEO fixes in one app
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, as it stops at 50 images and 10 AI credits a month
- Pricey if you go past your allowance, as extra images are billed one by one
- Watch out: redirects, minification, IndexNow and llms.txt start at Advanced, $23, and Search Console insights at Expert, $49
- Watch out: it was renamed from TinyIMG in July 2026, and the Shopify listing is now Tiny SEO Speed Image Optimizer
- Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it runs nowhere else

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
