What Is ecvision? Competitor Intelligence for Shopify
ecvision is competitor intelligence for Shopify: a rival's ads, catalogue, social and traffic, every figure dated. Not ecVision S.A., and not ShopVision.

ecvision (ecvision.ai) is competitor intelligence for Shopify stores. You name the rival stores you compete with, and it reads their ads, catalogue, social posts and traffic from pages any shopper can see, keeps the history, and answers your questions in Claude or ChatGPT with every figure dated. It is not ecVision S.A. or ShopVision.
The name is crowded, so the mix-up is easy: ecVision S.A. is a Polish AI company, and ShopVision is a different Shopify competitor tool. Both are covered further down.
I'm Thomas, and I build ecvision. If you run a Shopify store and keep checking the same few rivals by hand, it was made for you.
What does ecvision do?
ecvision watches the Shopify stores you compete with and tells you what they are doing. The homepage puts it in one line: "Their ads, catalogue, social and traffic. Ask your Claude or ChatGPT; every figure comes back dated." You name the rivals. ecvision reads their public pages and keeps the history.
It is built around three questions a founder asks about a rival, and the homepage gives each its own section:
- Sales intelligence: "Get your competitors' winning products." ecvision gives "Estimated revenue for any Shopify store, and for every product in it." The homepage's store figure is labelled "Store revenue · Aug, est."
- Ads intelligence: the ads a rival runs, and how long each has run. The plans include "Every ad they run on Meta".
- Social signal: "Get your competitors' winning creatives." The social view lines up each post a rival publishes against "Every post · multiple of its own usual", so a post that beat that account's normal stands out.
That is what the ads page looks like underneath: not a verdict on any one ad, but a count of what a rival actually did with their account, move by move.
There is a traffic view too. The homepage shows it as "Their store · visits per month (est.)": an estimate, and marked as one.
What does "winning" mean in ecvision?
In ecvision, "winning" describes an ad a rival keeps running, not one with a known result. The homepage defines it: "Winning means the few they keep running, keep remaking and keep reusing — performance is never published."
That definition matters, because it changes how you use the data. ecvision shows you what a rival did: which ads they stopped, which they kept, and which they remade. As the homepage puts it, "When they make a new version, you watch it land." It does not claim to know what an ad sold, its click rate or its return on spend.
Revenue works the same way. The figure for a store or a product is an estimate, marked "est." on the page, not a number read from the rival's books.
How do you use ecvision?
You ask questions in the AI assistant you already use. The homepage title says a rival's ads, creatives and products arrive "in the assistant you already use", and the line under it names Claude and ChatGPT. Every plan that collects data includes at least one assistant connection.
Here is what that looks like in practice. Say you sell swimwear, and you watch two rival swimwear stores. One morning you ask your assistant what changed at the bigger rival this week. The answer comes back from ecvision, every figure dated. It might show that they launched a new one-piece, that its price is lower than the rest of their range, and that they put a new version of an old ad behind it, which they have kept running. You now know where they are putting their money. You did not have to open their store, scroll their ads or check their social accounts one post at a time.
The point is not the summary. It is the dated history behind it, so you can see whether a move is new or a pattern. For the free, manual version of this, the guide on how to spy on a competitor's Shopify store walks through doing it by hand.
Does ecvision need my Shopify login or an app install?
No. The site's footer says it directly: "We never ask for your Shopify login." There is no Shopify app to install either. ecvision reads the rivals' public pages, not your store, so you name the rivals and it starts from there.
Setup is a call, not a sign-up form. Each plan's button on the pricing page reads "Book a call", and the line under the plans gives the trial: "2 days free, 7 with a card." The closing section of the homepage says who you will speak to: "With Thomas, who builds ecvision. Bring the rivals you watch."
Is ecvision the same company as ecVision S.A.?
No. ecVision S.A. is a separate Polish company; nothing on either site suggests a connection between them. Its own site lists offices at ul. Grzybowska 87 in Warsaw and in Modlniczka near Kraków, and its solution areas are AI for business: assistants, chatbots, transport and smart-parking models, and monitoring.
The name is close, and both companies use the word AI, so the mix-up is easy. The work is different. ecVision S.A. lists areas such as "Modele AI dla ITS i Smart Parking" (AI models for intelligent transport systems and smart parking) and "Monitoring & Identyfikacja" (monitoring and identification). ecvision.ai does one thing: it watches Shopify stores for a founder who competes with them. Nothing on this page says anything about ecVision S.A. beyond what its own site lists.
Is ecvision the same as ShopVision?
No. ShopVision is a different company in a nearby field, and it works differently. Its Shopify App Store listing calls it a tool to "See every competitor's promo, price, launch, and channel move." It installs as a Shopify app and starts from your own store: "Connect your store and ShopVision matches competitor products to yours, then tracks their prices, promos, launches, and stock changes daily."
So the two differ on the two questions a founder usually asks first:
| ecvision | ShopVision | |
|---|---|---|
| How it starts | A call where the workspace is set up; you name the rivals | A Shopify app; you connect your store |
| What it needs from your store | No app to install, and "We never ask for your Shopify login" | You install the app and connect your store |
| Listed price, as of 19 October 2026 | Starter $20 / month, Growth $60 / month | Pro $1,200 / month, Super $2,400 / month |
ShopVision's listing says it "shows brands & retailers what competitors are doing", and it matches rival products to your own catalogue for you. ecvision is priced for a founder or a small team watching a handful of named rivals. If you are weighing several tools by price and catalogue size, the roundup of competitor price monitoring apps for Shopify stores compares them side by side.
Who is ecvision for?
ecvision is for a Shopify founder, or a small team, who already knows the rivals they care about and wants to keep watching them without doing it by hand. The plan notes say it in their own words: Starter is for "One operator watching a handful of rivals." Growth is for "A small team sharing one workspace."
It is not a market-research tool for finding every store in a category. You bring the names, and the plans are sized by how many you watch.
How much does ecvision cost?
ecvision has two paid plans, Starter at $20 a month and Growth at $60 a month (as of 19 October 2026), plus a Free state that keeps what you collected when a plan ends. The pricing page is headed "Priced by the rivals you watch." Each plan lists the same rows, so you can compare them directly:
| Free ($0) | Starter ($20 / month) | Growth ($60 / month) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rivals | No new reads of rivals | Your store plus 5 rivals | Your store plus 10 rivals |
| History | No new history | 3 months of history | 6 months of history |
| Scans | Nothing already collected is deleted | Scanning runs on our schedule | Scan as often as daily |
| Ads | Ads page, eight newest creatives withheld | Every ad they run on Meta | Every ad they run on Meta |
| Store data | No new catalogue, price or social reads | Catalogue, prices and social accounts | Catalogue, prices and social accounts |
| AI assistant | No AI chat or assistant connection | 1 AI assistant connection | 4 AI assistant connections |
| Reports | No AI reports | Simple AI reports on what changed | Deep AI reports |
| Feature requests | Read the feature-request list | Read the feature-request list | Submit feature requests |
Free is not where you begin. The pricing page describes it as "What stays after a plan ends." A new workspace starts on a "Starter trial": "2 days free, 7 with a card".
The choice between paid plans mostly comes down to how many rivals you watch and how far back you want to look. If your list has five names or fewer and you work alone, Starter fits. If it runs past five, or several people need the same view, Growth is the plan built for that.
Where do I start?
Make a short list of the rivals you check by hand today, the ones whose launches and price changes actually change what you do. Then:
- Read what ecvision tracks on the homepage, section by section.
- Compare the plans on the pricing page against how many rivals are on your list.
- Book a call, and bring that list.
If you would rather try the manual route first, start with the step-by-step guide to watching a rival's Shopify store. It shows what you can see for free, and where it starts to take too long.
