ecvision vs ecVision S.A.: which ecvision is which
ecvision.ai, ecVision S.A., ShopVision and a Hong Kong ecVision are four different companies. What each does, who it is for, and how to tell them apart.
Thomas Pham · · 6 min read
ecvision.ai and ecVision S.A. are two unrelated companies that happen to share a name. ecvision.ai watches rival Shopify stores: their ads, catalogue, social and traffic. ecVision S.A. is a Polish company in Warsaw that builds AI assistants, on-premise chatbots and dedicated on-premise AI solutions for businesses. If you came looking for Shopify competitor tracking, you want ecvision.ai.
Say a friend who runs a candle shop tells you to try ecvision for keeping an eye on the two stores that keep undercutting them. You type the name into a search box. The first results describe licence-plate recognition, smart parking and chatbots on Polish language models. None of that has anything to do with candles or rivals. You have found a different ecvision, and there are at least three more names close enough to cause the same mix-up.
This page lists each one side by side. Every description below comes from that company's own website, its App Store listing, or the announcement of the deal that bought it, all read on 5 November 2026. It does not rank them. It only says which is which.
Which "ecvision" is which, at a glance?
ecvision.ai, ecVision S.A. and ShopVision are three active, unrelated companies; a fourth, ecVision (Hong Kong), was bought by Amber Road in 2015. The table below gives each one's website, what it does in its own words, and who it serves.

Is ecvision.ai the same company as ecVision S.A.?
No. ecvision.ai and ecVision S.A. are separate companies with separate websites. ecvision.ai is a competitor intelligence tool for Shopify stores. ecVision S.A. is a Polish AI company whose own site sells AI assistants, on-premise chatbots and dedicated on-premise AI solutions to businesses. The names match by coincidence.
The quickest tell is what each homepage leads with. ecvision.ai's line under its headline reads "Their ads, catalogue, social and traffic. Ask your Claude or ChatGPT; every figure comes back dated." ecvision.ai also gives "Estimated revenue for any Shopify store, and for every product in it."
ecVision S.A. pitches data that stays at home. Its site, in Polish, promises "Twoje dane nigdy nie opuszczają Twojej firmy", which means "your data never leaves your company". That is a pitch to an IT department, not to a store owner checking a rival's prices.
The full explainer of what ecvision.ai reads and how it answers is in what ecvision is and what it does.
What does ecVision S.A. actually do?
ecVision S.A. is a Polish AI company that sells to businesses. Its website lists four areas: enterprise AI assistants built from a company's own documents, chatbots on Polish large language models, AI models for transport and smart parking, and dedicated AI solutions built for one client. Its offices are in Warsaw and near Kraków.
In more detail, from ecvision.pl:
- AI assistants. Knowledge bases built with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over a company's internal documents, databases and regulations.
- Chatbots. Built on Polish large language models and run on-premise.
- Transport and smart parking. Automatic licence-plate recognition (ANPR), ADR hazard-code recognition, vehicle categorisation, and parking-occupancy detection.
- Dedicated AI solutions. Systems designed and built from scratch around a client's own data and processes, from image analysis to custom language models, on-premise.
The site names the sectors it serves as security, retail marketing, occupational health and safety, road traffic, airports and train stations, and retail and e-commerce. It adds construction, tourism, law, energy, education, healthcare, finance and manufacturing.
Its two addresses are ul. Grzybowska 87, 00-844 Warszawa, and ul. Willowa 87, 32-085 Modlniczka. It lists its number in KRS, the Polish company register, as 0000732928. If a page you are reading mentions that number, a Polish address or on-premise AI, it is about ecVision S.A., not ecvision.ai.
Is ecvision.ai the same as ShopVision?
ShopVision is not ecvision.ai: it is a separate Shopify app with its own listing. It describes itself as "The Market & Competitive Intelligence Platform for Brands & Retailers". It tracks competitor pricing, promotions, assortment and channel activity, matches competitor products, and flags MAP (minimum advertised price) violations.
This is the closest of the four to ecvision.ai, because both watch competitors. The difference shows in the price. As of 5 November 2026, ShopVision's listing prices its Pro plan at $1,200 a month and Super at $2,400 a month. ecvision.ai's Starter plan is $20 a month for your store and up to five rivals, and Growth is $60 a month for a team watching ten. ShopVision's entry plan costs 20 times ecvision.ai's Growth plan; its top plan costs 120 times ecvision.ai's Starter plan. One is built for a brand team with a budget, the other for a founder with a short list of rivals.
The plan-by-plan breakdown, with each vendor's own labels, is in ecvision vs ShopVision compared.
Is there another ecvision out there?
Yes, an older one. ecVision (Hong Kong) was a Hong Kong-headquartered software company that sold cloud sourcing and supply-chain tools to brands. Amber Road bought it in March 2015, and E2open bought Amber Road in 2019. The ecVision (Hong Kong) brand no longer operates on its own, so it is not a live option.
The 2015 announcement described ecVision (Hong Kong) as "a cloud-based provider of global sourcing and collaborative supply chain solutions for brand-focused companies". Amber Road paid "approximately $24 million" in cash, with "up to $9 million more over two years" in earn-outs. The customers it named included Li & Fung, PVH Corporation and Coach. E2open's deal for Amber Road was priced "for $13.05 per share".
If an old article mentions ecVision (Hong Kong) alongside global sourcing or supply-chain software, this is the company it means.
Two more names come up when you search: "ECOVISION" was an EU-funded research project on visual-scene analysis systems, and "Ecovision" is a film festival billed as "Europe's biggest environmental film festival". Neither has anything to do with ecommerce.
Why do so many companies share this name?
Because the parts are generic. "Vision" suits anything to do with seeing, from cameras to market data, and "ec" or "eco" reads as ecommerce, ecology or a company's initials. Unrelated firms reach for the same short, descriptive words, so names collide across industries without any link between the businesses.
That is all it is. The overlap is in the spelling, not in the work, and a search for the bare name will keep mixing them up.
How do I make sure I'm on the right ecvision?
Check three things: the address, what the page sells, and who it is for. ecvision.ai lives at ecvision.ai, talks about rival Shopify stores, and answers inside Claude or ChatGPT. A .pl address, on-premise AI or a Polish office means ecVision S.A.
A quick checklist:
- The domain. ecvision.ai is the Shopify competitor tool. ecvision.pl is ecVision S.A. ShopVision lives on the Shopify App Store under its own name.
- The subject. Rival stores' ads, catalogue, social and traffic means ecvision.ai. Licence plates, parking, chatbots or dedicated AI solutions means ecVision S.A. MAP monitoring and product matching for brand teams means ShopVision.
- The login. ecvision.ai's footer says "We never ask for your Shopify login." If something claiming to be ecvision.ai asks for one, you are not on ecvision.ai.
- The price. ecvision.ai's plans are on its pricing page, starting at $20 a month as of 5 November 2026.
