PPSpy Chrome extension

PPSpy analyzes Shopify stores you visit, showing sales estimates, bestsellers, installed apps, and the ads driving traffic to them. It's best for dropshippers scouting products and competitors.

What PPSpy does

PPSpy activates when you browse a Shopify store, pulling together details like the store's theme, product count, estimated sales, and the ads driving traffic to it. It's built for dropshippers and e-commerce researchers who want a quick read on whether a store or product is worth copying or sourcing from.

PPSpy free vs paid

PPSpy offers core analytics for free, including store lookups and basic product data. Advanced functionality, such as deeper ad library access, extended export limits, or additional research tools, is sold as in-app purchases. Casual browsing and light research can typically be done on the free tier alone.

Is PPSpy safe?

The developer states that PPSpy does not sell user data to third parties or use it outside the extension's core functionality, and the publisher has no reported history of policy violations. As with similar tools, PPSpy needs to read store page content to generate its analytics, which is standard for this category.
