Shoplift vs. Intelligems:
Which Shopify Testing Platform Wins Where?
But under the hood, these tools have fundamentally different approaches.
So let's break it down.
Shoplift vs. Intelligems at a glance

What brands are saying
Easy to setup and launch. No issues with our custom themes and templates. For us that is a good thing, as it keeps us focused on business outcomes and not getting endlessly lost in UX/UI.
GA4 integration automatically creates custom audiences by test condition whenever you launch a new test, so if you really want to track non-conversion behaviors you can set up your own custom reports in GA."
• The UI is complex.
• To run a split test on landing pages you need to add custom code.
• If you have geo-redirects for subdomains you need to create redirects for every test region.
• If you want to run a price test, it's an extra $300 per month minimum.
The alternative apps out there ... are both cheaper and, crucially, take minimal time to setup, run and interpret. When time is your most valuable resource, this is a major factor."

Let's Talk Through the Tradeoffs
Many teams using Intelligems start with price testing and realize they want to expand into content and template testing, but hit roadblocks. Shoplift can be easier to use, faster to set up, and built specifically for Shopify, so your team can move faster without the headaches.
Not at all. Shoplift was designed with performance in mind. No flickering, no lag, no compromises. It’s one of the reasons brands like Liquid Death and Skullcandy trust it to run tests without sacrificing speed.
Shoplift does offer price testing, and it's improving fast. But if your team is running extremely advanced multi-region pricing logic, Intelligems may still have the edge—for now. It’s a more niche use case, and often comes with tradeoffs around speed, complexity, and pricing.
Not even close. Shoplift is self-serve, no-code, and typically live in minutes. It was designed for Shopify teams who don’t want to wait on devs or implementation specialists just to start learning.
