The top 10 apps merchants see when they search the Shopify App Store for advertising, in the exact order the store ranks them. Only Shopify's organic ranking is shown, never sponsored ads.
Updated September 8, 2026 · Organic rankingMost of what ranks for this word is not a third-party product at all. The advertising channels themselves publish their own Shopify apps, and those are the ones filling this grid: each syncs your catalogue, lets you build campaigns from inside the admin, and sets up conversion tracking without you pasting anything. Shopify states plainly that the largest of them is free to use on every plan, and its own listings for the others come from the platforms' own support addresses rather than from a vendor.
So the useful question is what a paid app adds on top of free tools built by the companies selling the advertising. The honest answer, from what these listings actually claim, is creative at scale and one dashboard across several platforms rather than a capability the free channels lack. Even generated creative is not exclusively a paid feature, since at least one of the first-party channels already ships its own image tooling.

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn
the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use,
and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must
integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through
installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring
ones with the badge is a safe default.
