Finally sat down and added up what I'm paying across all my apps.

22 apps. $347/mo. That number caught me off guard.

The thing that frustrates me most is I can't tell which ones are actually generating revenue. Every app shows its own "attributed revenue" in its own dashboard but they're all counting the same orders. There's no neutral view.

Some other things I found during my manual audit:

- 3 apps I thought I uninstalled were still billing me. Apparently uninstalling from Shopify admin doesn't cancel the subscription.

- 2 apps that basically do the same thing. Was paying for both.

- At least 5 apps where I have zero clue if they're doing anything.

Ended up cutting 9 apps and saving about $180/mo. But it took me an entire Sunday to go through everything manually.

Has anyone found a better way to stay on

Last week I sat down and actually added up what I was spending on apps. $347/mo across 22 apps. That number hit me.

The worse part? I couldn't tell which ones were making me money and which were just sitting there billing me. Every app claims revenue in its own dashboard but there's no single place that shows you the real picture — cost vs actual revenue, per app.

So I spent the weekend building something for it.

It's a simple dashboard that:

- Shows your total app spend in one place

- Shows which apps are actually generating revenue (based on order data, not the app's own inflated numbers)

- Gives you a clear keep-or-cut verdict for every installed app

Think of it as a health check for your app stack.

Found some wild stuff testing it on my own store:

- 2 apps doing the same thing (was paying for both)

- 3 apps I "uninstalled" that were still billing me

- 5 apps with zero measurable revenue signal

Saved about $180/mo in 20 minutes.

It's super early — weekend project, rough around the edges, but the core works. Looking for a handful of merchants to try it out and give feedback. If you've ever looked at your Shopify bill and thought "where is all this going?" this is for you.

Happy to answer any questions. Would love to hear if anyone else has run into this problem.

I run a Shopify store with 22 apps installed. Last week I sat down and actually added up what I was paying. $347/mo. Had no idea.

The worst part — I couldn't tell which apps were making me money. Every app has its own dashboard showing "attributed revenue" but they all take credit for the same orders. No single place to see cost vs actual revenue per app.

So I spent the weekend building a dashboard that:

- Pulls your full app list and shows total spend in one place

- Matches apps against order data to see which ones actually

generate revenue

- Gives a keep-or-cut verdict per app

Tested it on my own store. Found 3 apps still billing after

uninstall, 2 apps doing the same thing, and 5 with zero revenue

signal. Cut 9 apps. Saving about $180/mo now.It's very early — weekend project, not polished. Looking for

a few Shopify merchants to try it and tell me what's broken.

Link is in my profile if anyone wants early access. Happy to answer questions here.
