How to See What Apps a Shopify Store Is Using
Most Shopify apps add a small script or an app block to the store’s pages. The app detector reads the store’s home page, the same page any shopper sees, and matches those traces to apps it knows.
Paste the Store URL
Any address for the store works, like brand.com or a product link.
We Read the Home Page
The detector loads the store’s public home page and looks for app scripts and app extensions.
See the Apps by Category
Each app shows what it does, its rating, price and developer, and links to its Shopify App Store page.
Prefer to check by hand? Open the store, view the page source, and search for an app you suspect, like “klaviyo” or “judge.me”. If the store uses it, you’ll usually find its script there.
What the App Detector Can and Can’t See
Can See
- Apps that show something on the store: reviews, pop-ups, upsells, chat and wishlists
- Marketing apps that load a script, like email, SMS and loyalty
- Buy now, pay later messaging and cross-border tools
- The theme and its version
Can't See
- Back-office apps, like inventory, accounting and shipping labels
- Apps that only run in checkout or customer accounts
- Apps that only load on product or cart pages
- Headless stores that don’t use Shopify’s storefront
Apps add features to a theme through theme app extensions, which is why most of them leave a trace in the page. When the detector finds an extension it can’t name, it lists it under “Other App Traces”.

How to Use a Competitor’s App Stack
Look for Patterns, Not One Store
Check three to five stores in your niche. An app that shows up on most of them is worth a closer look.
Start With the Gaps
Compare their app stack with yours. Missing reviews, email or upsells usually matter more than a second pop-up app.
Watch Your Page Speed
Every storefront app adds code to your pages. Add one at a time and check your store’s speed after each.
Consider Building It In
Several small apps can often be replaced by one custom Shopify app or theme feature, without the monthly fees.
Shopify App Detector FAQ
How can I see what apps a Shopify store is using?
Paste the store’s URL into the app detector at the top of this page. It reads the store’s home page and lists the apps it recognises, grouped by what they do.
Is the Shopify app detector free?
Yes. There’s no sign-up and no browser extension to install.
Is this a Shopify spy tool?
It does the same job as a Shopify spy tool for apps: it shows what a store has installed. It only reads the store’s public home page, the same page any shopper can see.
Why are some apps missing from the results?
Apps that only work in the Shopify admin, at checkout or in customer accounts leave no trace on the storefront. Apps that only load on product or cart pages can also be missed, because the detector reads the home page.
Where do the app ratings and prices come from?
From each app’s listing on the Shopify App Store. The results show the date we last checked the listings. Prices and plans can change, so confirm them on the listing before you install.
Can it detect apps on headless Shopify stores?
No. Headless stores don’t use Shopify’s storefront code, so their apps can’t be read from the page.
Can it also detect the Shopify theme?
Yes. The results include the theme name and version. For more theme details, use our Shopify Theme Detector.
