Frequently asked questions

Common questions about choosing between Peak PIM and Plytix.

Is Peak PIM cheaper than Plytix?

Yes. Peak PIM starts at $99 per month. Plytix's Pro plan starts at $499 per month. If you're Shopify-first, Peak PIM costs a fraction of what Plytix charges, with setup in minutes instead of weeks.

Does Peak PIM have a free plan?

Peak PIM offers a 10-day free trial with full access to all features. Plytix has a limited free plan, but it caps SKUs and restricts core features. There is no fully free Peak PIM plan, but the trial lets you try the whole product before committing.

Can Plytix do what Peak PIM does for Shopify?

Plytix can manage Shopify products through a connector, but it is built for omnichannel retailers, not Shopify-first brands. Setup takes weeks, the entry price is roughly five times higher, and you pay for distribution and AI features designed for non-Shopify channels.

How long does migration from Plytix take?

Migration takes hours, not weeks. Export your data from Plytix, connect Peak PIM to your Shopify store, and map your custom fields. Your product data already lives in Shopify, so there is no heavy lifting.

Is Peak PIM more Shopify-native than Plytix?

Yes. Peak PIM connects to Shopify through the Shopify App Store and reads and writes directly to your Shopify catalog through Shopify's native APIs. Plytix sits separately and syncs through an integration connector that needs configuration. Native integration means faster syncs and metafields and metaobjects support out of the box.
