ProfitShield guide
What is the best Shopify app to see profit per order?
Short answer
It depends on what you need. TrueProfit, BeProfit, Lifetimely and Profit Calc are established profit analytics apps with many reviews. GoProfit and Lifetimely list free plans. ProfitShield is new, has no reviews yet, and is the one in this list built to flag or block money-losing orders at checkout.

Which one fits
- You want the deepest reporting and a long review history: TrueProfit, BeProfit or Lifetimely are the established choices. Their listings mention ad-platform integrations, which ProfitShield's listing does not.
- You want to try something without paying: ProfitShield, GoProfit and Lifetimely list free plans, each with its own limits.
- You want to stop selling at a loss, not just see it afterwards: ProfitShield flags or blocks orders below a profit floor at checkout. The analytics apps report after the order is placed.
- You have more than 50 orders a month and want blocking: ProfitShield Protect is $19 a month for up to 1,000 orders.
What ProfitShield does not do
It is not accounting or tax software, it has no reviews yet, and its profit figures depend on the product costs you provide. It works out profit from product cost, shipping, payment fees, discounts and packaging.
