Where Mylivecart is stronger
We think you should pick the right tool for your store. Here's what Mylivecart does that LiveShoply doesn't (yet):
- A generous free plan (2,000 viewing minutes).
- A WordPress plugin as well as the Shopify app.
- Simulcast from the $79 Pro plan.
- Published overage rates, so you won't be cut off.
Questions to ask before you choose
Whichever live shopping app you pick, these questions will save you from surprises later:
- How will my bill grow? Streaming hours, viewer minutes and per-viewer charges behave very differently as your audience grows. Model your next six months, not just your first show.
- How easy is it to go live? If going live requires a laptop, OBS or a separate app, you'll run fewer shows. Phone-browser streaming removes most of the friction.
- What happens after the show? Check that replays become shoppable automatically and that you can turn moments into short videos for product pages.
- Which engagement tools are on my plan? Polls, giveaways and live-only discounts are what keep viewers watching — make sure they aren't locked behind an upgrade.
- Do I own my audience? Confirm you can export the shoppers who signed up for reminders, or sync them to your email platform.
- Will it slow my store down? Look for an app embed that loads after your page and only streams video when it's opened.
Which should you choose?
Choose Mylivecart if…
- You also sell on WordPress.
- Your needs fit inside 2,000 free minutes and the watermark is fine.
Choose LiveShoply if…
- You want a paid plan below $79.
- You want polls, giveaways and live deals included.
- You want an app with a longer feature list for replays and shoppable video.
