What each tool does in real situations
Feature lists look alike. These are the moments where the two tools differ.
Revenue, churn and merchants
Both connect to your Shopify Partner account and need no SDK. AppstorePulse splits churn three ways and lets you act on it with emails to the stores behind the numbers.
Installs and listing traffic
Both read the Google Analytics that Shopify feeds from your listing. AppstorePulse follows each install to the store and revenue it became, and shows your rank next to each search.
App Store rankings, competitors and reviews
This is where the two tools differ most. Elevate focuses on revenue and merchants. AppstorePulse adds daily App Store data on your app and your competitors.
Alerts, access and team
Where the data reaches you, and who on your team can see it.
What it costs for what you need
Monthly prices from each pricing page on November 9, 2026. Elevate prices by seats and features, not by MRR. Its llms.txt still mentions a $49 founding rate and $99 standard rate, and marmeto.com lists Elevate as a free product; we used the four plans on its pricing page. Full AppstorePulse pricing.
Which one to pick
You only want revenue numbers for one app, for free: Both free plans cover it. AppstorePulse Free already shows three churn rates and the MRR waterfall.
Your app earns revenue and you want to act on every install and cancellation: AppstorePulse. Store-level churn, install attribution and emails to your merchants work together in one place.
You need to grow installs from App Store search: AppstorePulse. Daily rankings, competitor changes and revenue per keyword sit next to your revenue. Elevate does not track rankings.
You want install attribution without paying $129: AppstorePulse Starter at $49 includes install attribution to App Store searches.
A large support or success team needs access, or you run affiliates through Marmeto: Elevate, for 10 seats on Pro or unlimited seats, and Orbit for partners.
You build on your data with AI or scripts: AppstorePulse Pro, for the REST API and MCP server.

Questions
What is Elevate?
Elevate is an analytics tool for Shopify app businesses, built by Marmeto. It reads your Shopify Partner account for MRR, ARR, revenue and logo churn, LTV and install sources, with a merchant timeline, Slack snapshots, embedded charts and exports. It does not track App Store rankings.
How much does Elevate cost?
As of November 2026, its pricing page lists Starter at $0 (1 seat), Growth at $49 a month (3 seats, trial funnels, cohorts, Slack), Pro at $129 a month (10 seats, BigQuery, Klaviyo, API and webhooks, churn scoring) and Unlimited at $299 a month.
Is Elevate cheaper than AppstorePulse?
It depends on what you need. Both start free, and Elevate Growth costs the same $49 as AppstorePulse Starter. Install attribution costs $49 on AppstorePulse and $129 on Elevate. Elevate gives more seats per plan. AppstorePulse includes App Store rankings, competitor tracking and emails to your merchants, which Elevate does not offer.
Does AppstorePulse only show a single monthly churn figure?
No. Marmeto's "Elevate vs AppStorePulse" article lists our churn as "Monthly churn number only" and says we don't separate revenue churn from customer churn. AppstorePulse shows three churn rates: logo churn, subscription (MRR) churn and net revenue churn. An MRR waterfall splits each period into new, expansion, contraction and churn, with the stores behind each step on Starter and Pro.
Does AppstorePulse track installs and export data?
Yes. The same article says we have no acquisition tracking and no stated export. AppstorePulse matches each install to the App Store search it came from and the revenue it became, and the customer list exports to CSV with filters for plan, LTV, MRR, trial ending, review left and source.
Can I use both?
Yes, they read the same Shopify sources. Most developers won't need to: AppstorePulse covers revenue, churn and install attribution alongside the App Store data Elevate leaves out.
Can I switch from Elevate to AppstorePulse?
Yes. Paste your Shopify Partner Organization ID and an API token, and AppstorePulse pulls up to two years of revenue history. Connect the same Google Analytics property. There's nothing to export from Elevate.
