What Koala Inspector does
Koala Inspector runs in the background as you browse Shopify stores, pulling up details like which theme and apps a store uses, its bestselling and newest products, and estimated traffic. It's aimed at dropshippers and e-commerce sellers who want to understand what's working for competitors before building their own store or product catalog.
Koala Inspector free vs paid
The free plan gives full access to core inspection features with no time limit and no credit card required, which covers most one-off research needs. The Professional plan adds more monitoring capacity, and the Ultimate plan raises the limit to 50 tracked stores with unlimited access and change notifications, aimed at sellers doing ongoing competitive research.
Is Koala Inspector safe?
The listing discloses that Koala Inspector accesses personally identifiable information, location data, and website content, which it uses to analyze the stores you visit and personalize your account. The developer states this data isn't sold to third parties or used for credit assessments. As with any research tool, it's worth reviewing these permissions before installing.
