Videowise alternatives for Shopify: free plans, pricing units and formats (October 2026)
Nine Shopify apps set against Videowise on the same criteria, read on their App Store listings on October 1, 2026: free plan, first paid plan, what each one counts, formats and rating.
We read the Shopify App Store listings of Videowise and nine Videowise alternatives on October 1, 2026: Tolstoy, Moast, Reelfy, Whatmore, Firework, LiveMeUp, ReelUp, Vizup and Storiq. Videowise's free plan publishes to the Shop app and TikTok Shop but puts no widget on your own pages; on-site video starts with Pro, $9 a month for 5,000 unique widget impressions. Eight of the nine alternatives keep on-site video on a free plan with no end date (Tolstoy's lasts 30 days), and they count views, clicks, streaming time or nothing instead of impressions.
Moast and Reelfy are the apps like Videowise that Shopify suggests under "More apps like this" on the listing. Storiq is our app, launched on September 29, 2026 with no reviews yet, and it covers stories on product pages only. Hosting details are in our comparison of shoppable video apps for Shopify.
What Videowise offers and why merchants compare it
Videowise Shoppable Video UGC launched in September 2020 and holds 4.8 stars from 252 reviews. It offers over 16 widgets (stories, reels, banner, slider, carousel, video background), imports from TikTok, Instagram, Drive, Dropbox and Meta Ads into one library with an editor, and bulk-publishes to your pages, the Shop app and TikTok Shop.
Three points on the listing send merchants looking for a Videowise alternative:
- On-site widgets are paid. The free plan covers the Shop app, TikTok Shop, import, product tagging and hosting. "Unlimited shoppable videos on site" sits under Pro.
- The overage has no size. Pro reads "extra impressions just $10" without saying how many impressions $10 buys. Shopify bills recurring and usage-based app charges every 30 days.
- Live shopping has no listed plan. The tagline and feature tags name it; the two plans do not.
Videowise pricing on the App Store and on its website
Videowise's pricing page, read the same day, does not show the $9 plan. It sells modules: Shoppable Video from $299 a month, or $239 billed annually, "for sites up to 50k monthly visitors", with email, SMS, A/B testing and multi-store support. Live Shopping starts at the same prices and the full platform at $639 ($479 annually).
Ask which of the two offers a quote refers to. A comparison from June 2026 still gives the $9 plan 1,000 impressions; the listing now shows 5,000.

Impressions, views or clicks: what each plan counts
An impression comes before any view or click, so the same traffic produces more impressions than views, and more views than clicks. ReelUp counts a view only after 4 seconds of watching.
For a store with 20,000 visitors a month, Videowise Pro's 5,000 impressions come to 25 per 100 visitors, like Tolstoy Starter's 5,000 viewers. Firework Starter gives 50 views per 100 visitors, ReelUp Basic and Whatmore Starter 15. At 20,000 unique impressions, Videowise Pro runs 15,000 over, billed in $10 blocks of unstated size. Reelfy, Moast and Vizup set no cap.

What Videowise offers that the alternatives do not list
Videowise has the longest import list of the ten (TikTok, Instagram, Drive, Dropbox, Meta Ads), an editor, and bulk publishing across pages, TikTok Shop and the Shop app. TikTok Shop is in its free plan, and it states 16+ widget themes. Its website adds AI clips, AI content and multi-store modules. If you sell on TikTok Shop or run several stores, leaving means splitting that work across apps.
