Shopify SEO app for schema, meta tags, indexing and page speed
SearchPie report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for schema and indexing for Shopify stores
SearchPie adds JSON-LD schema, meta and alt tags, sitemaps, IndexNow and speed fixes to a Shopify store, and the free Starter plan already includes store schema and a sitemap. Product price and rating schema need Premium at $39 a month, keyword tracking needs $99, and SearchPie's own site lists a $399 plan the Shopify listing doesn't show.
Who SearchPie is for
- Fits if you want store schema and a sitemap on a free plan
- Works for stores clearing Search Console and Merchant Center warnings
Who SearchPie is not for
- 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
Why SearchPie gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyPremium is $39 a month, inside this category's dearest tenth (from $33.25), or $374.40 a year, about $31.20 a month. Keyword research and tracking need Enterprise at $99 a month.
- BFree plan and trialStarter covers breadcrumb and store schema, a sitemap, image compression, CSS minification, bulk meta and alt templates, llms.txt, IndexNow and 404 detection. A small store could run on it, but product price and rating schema are Premium.

- CEase of useNo rating on record. It installs from the Shopify App Store, but tag templates, schema types and speed options are yours to set, plan by plan.

Keep SearchPie, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace SearchPie you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $468 a year.
What you could make
- Schema markup: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. SearchPie’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
