The predictive layer Shopify doesn’t give you.
Shopify’s built-in reports are great for sales and traffic. epiphanies adds what they don’t: demand forecasting, reorder points, true profit by SKU, and a weekly AI briefing.

Where epiphanies wins
Forecasting, profit & AI in one app
Inventory, true product-level profit, forecasting, transfers, basket, attribution and an AI briefing — not a single silo.
True product-level profit
Net profit and margin per SKU from your real cost per item — not just revenue or gross numbers.
Flat, transparent pricing
Simple Starter/Pro plans billed through Shopify — never priced on your revenue.
When Shopify native analytics might fit you better
Shopify’s free, native reports may be all you need if:
- You mainly want sales, traffic, and acquisition dashboards
- You’re not planning inventory or forecasting reorders yet
- You don’t need profit, transfers, or an AI briefing
We’d rather you pick the right tool. If the points above describe you, Shopify native analytics may be the better choice.
