Which one is right for your store?
AOV.ai is a strong free option, and it already carries the Built for Shopify badge. If a free, machine-learning approach fits how you want to work, it is a credible choice and we will not pretend otherwise.
Limen differentiates on three things. Its recommendations are chosen to fit what's already in each cart, at the moment the shopper is deciding. It runs a threshold diagnostic on install, surfacing the exact gap between your average order value and your free shipping threshold on day one. And its pricing is flat and transparent: one price, $19.99 per month, no tiers to decode.
If you want a free, badged, ML-driven app, AOV.ai is a fine pick. If you want a specialised, transparently priced tool aimed squarely at lifting your average order value, that is what Limen is built to do.
