Boost AI uses GMV-based pricing tiers. Facetify charges only for actual usage.
Why merchants switch from Boost
🎨 Theme Conflicts
Boost's CSS can conflict with custom themes, causing styling issues. Facetify's Shadow DOM isolation guarantees zero conflicts with any theme.
💰 GMV-Based Pricing
Boost's pricing is based on store revenue, which penalizes successful stores. Facetify charges for actual search usage - your success doesn't increase your costs.
🧩 Drag & Drop Setup
Facetify works with all Online Store 2.0 themes. Just drag blocks into your theme editor – no code changes required. Boost requires more manual configuration.
Our verdict
Boost AI is a solid search app with good features, but its GMV-based pricing and reported theme conflicts make Facetify a better choice for most merchants. With Facetify, you get comparable features, guaranteed theme compatibility, and pay only for what you actually use.
