Questions

What is Prys?

Prys is a growth and analytics platform for Shopify app developers, from the team behind the Convert2x agency. It reads your Shopify Partner data and your Google Analytics through BigQuery to show revenue, MRR, churn, trials and revenue per keyword. It adds App Store SEO with AI-written listing copy, Shopify App Store ads and Google Ads tracking, and welcome, trial and win-back emails.

How much does Prys cost?

As of November 11, 2026, Prys prices by your app's Shopify MRR: free under $1K, $49.95 a month up to $10K, $99.95 up to $20K, $199.95 up to $50K, $299.95 up to $100K and $499.95 above. Every plan starts with a 30-day Premium trial, and annual plans cost 9 months for 12.

Is Prys cheaper than AppstorePulse?

Under $1K MRR both are free. Up to $10K MRR the prices are close: $49.95 against $49 for AppstorePulse Starter. Above $10K, AppstorePulse costs less because its price never rises with your revenue: $49 or $99 a month, where Prys charges $99.95 to $499.95. AppstorePulse Starter also covers 3 apps.

Does Prys track competitors and reviews?

We found no competitor listing tracking or review monitoring on the Prys site or help center. AppstorePulse records each competitor's price, copy, screenshots, badge, reviews and categories every day, and keeps every review that disappears from your listing, with the paying store behind it.

Which is the better Mantle alternative, Prys or AppstorePulse?

Both replace Mantle's analytics, and neither replaces Mantle Billing, which moves to Shopify's own App Pricing. AppstorePulse covers revenue, three churn rates, trials, the customer list, install attribution and emails, and adds daily App Store data on your competitors: listing changes, rankings and removed reviews.

Can I switch from Prys to AppstorePulse?

Yes. Paste your Partner Organization ID and an API token, and AppstorePulse pulls up to two years of revenue history. Connect the same Google Analytics property and BigQuery export. There's nothing to export from Prys.
