Hello all,
I was looking to find somewhere that has all the Mantle alternatives in one place but I couldn’t really find a good list.
I was thinking most Shopify devs are on here so it would be really helpful for comparing services if people replied with the services they know of.
If you have any recommendations for alternatives for Mantle affiliate, analytics, email, SASI, or anything else I forgot, please drop them here!
Folks vibe coding alternatives in one, or two days absolutely will not buy the same trust that Mantle had built.
They had investment from Shopify, raised capital, experience in the partner eco-system (involved in starting the app store!) and even gave up their app business! AND they were a cracking team.
ATM, It seems likely we’ll just build everything in-house on twenty.com (or similar).
That’s a reasonable point. I think there will be a lot of free or open source alternatives that come from this though because people know that credibility is lower with newer providers. Now is the time for filling in the gaps, not for monetizing.
Though I’m biased because I adapted Affilitrak (my app) to work for Shopify app affiliate and made it free. I expect the new services will come from people who already work in something adjacent or who were already planning on adding support for Shopify apps and just made it top priority because of the Mantle announcement.
Point is that I know people are gonna try to vibe code their own affiliate programs, that’s why I made mine free. (also affiliate is deceptively difficult so I hope I can save people some trouble)
