## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: D.** Premium 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.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** Starter 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.
- **Features: B.** Schema from breadcrumbs up to products, FAQs and articles, meta and alt tags with AI, IndexNow, broken-link fixes, speed tools, an AI readiness score, keyword tracking and backlink submission. It covers the whole job across three plans.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, inside Shopify. It connects to Search Console, Merchant Center, Google Business Profile and PageSpeed Insights.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Schema markup: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- You could not: Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
