The rundown

6 Koala Inspector alternatives, reviewed

1. Undercart

Free 25 stores/mo; $29/mo unlimited
Best for: Searching and filtering Shopify stores, not just inspecting one

Where Koala Inspector shows you the store you're on, Undercart lets you find stores: filter 1M+ Shopify stores by revenue, category, country, apps installed or recently added, theme, traffic rank and trend, catalog size and more, then open any of them for a full profile — the actual ads it runs on Meta, Google and TikTok, its marketing emails and the discount codes in them, a revenue estimate (annual first) with a confidence score, best sellers, discounts, price history, product reviews, the app stack and its social following. It also has a Chrome extension for the store you're browsing, and a REST API and MCP server on every plan. It isn't built for supplier search or product sourcing.

2. PPSPY

Standard $39/mo; Pro $99/mo; Business $299/mo
Best for: Sales and ad tracking for dropshipping

PPSPY covers 1M+ active Shopify stores with a 15-day predicted orders-and-sales report, an ad tracker, app and theme detection and traffic-source analysis. Every plan includes data export, creative downloads and unlimited use of its Chrome extension; tracked stores are capped per plan (30 on Standard).

3. TrendTrack

Starter $39/mo; Pro $73/mo; Business $130/mo (less billed yearly)
Best for: Ad research with traffic and store tracking

TrendTrack focuses on ads — Meta and Google on every plan, TikTok from Pro — with Meta ad spend from Meta's own data, store traffic powered by Similarweb, theme and app detection, email tracking, a free Chrome extension and an MCP connector. Lookups and tracked brands are capped per plan.

4. Shophunter

Pricing not published
Best for: Hourly sales tracking on a shortlist of stores

Shophunter tracks the Shopify stores you choose and models their revenue, order volume and best sellers with hourly updates, plus historical sales trends and Facebook ad spying. Pricing isn't published on its site.

5. Dropship.io

Basic $39/mo; Standard $59/mo; Premium $99/mo (less billed yearly)
Best for: Product research and a Facebook ad library

Dropship.io pairs Shopify store analysis with a Facebook ad library (with spend) and a Chrome extension, on credit-based plans. Note that its sales tracker covers TikTok Shop, not Shopify stores.

6. Storeleads

From $75/mo; export, API + MCP from Pro ($250/mo)
Best for: Large lead lists across platforms

If you outgrow one-store inspection and need lists, Storeleads is the broadest database: 13.8M active stores across 413 platforms, with apps and their install history, estimated sales and visits, and contacts. It's built for B2B prospecting rather than product research, and priced accordingly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Koala Inspector alternative?

It depends on what you use Koala for. To search and filter many Shopify stores — by revenue, apps, traffic trend and more — and get full profiles with ads and marketing emails, Undercart.

Is Commerce Inspector still available?

As of October 2026 it appears not: commerceinspector.com no longer serves the product (it redirects to a site that returns a not-found page), and its Chrome Web Store listing shows the item as not available.

Which Koala Inspector alternative has a Shopify store database?
