Koda vs ShopHunter: Sales Estimates or Store Rankings
Last checked
ShopHunter and Koda both watch Shopify stores to tell you what is selling, and they report different kinds of number. ShopHunter tracks stores and estimates their revenue and sales by day, week and month, ranks top stores and products, sends hourly updates and alerts, and has an ad spy that follows how many ads a page runs and how often they are duplicated. Those revenue figures are modelled estimates, not the stores' own books. Koda reads each tracked store's own best-selling order — the ranking the store displays itself — then generates the TikTok video from the real product photo and publishes it to TikTok and Instagram Reels through their official APIs. As of 31 October 2026, Koda tracked 568 active stores, 528 of them read in the previous 7 days. If revenue estimates and ad growth are what you need, ShopHunter is the research tool built for them.
| ShopHunter | Koda | |
|---|---|---|
| What it reads | Shopify stores you track: estimated revenue, sales and top products by day, week and month | Each tracked Shopify store's own best-selling order — the ranking the store displays at /collections/all?sort_by=best-selling |
| Kind of figure | Modelled estimates of revenue and sales — not the store's own numbers | A rank inside each store, read from the store itself — not a sales figure; Koda does not know how many units sold |
| Freshness | Its site announces hourly updates and alerts on tracked stores | The public best-sellers page is re-read every 3 hours; 528 stores had their order read in the 7 days to 31 October 2026 |
| Ads | Ad spy: active-ad counts and duplicates over time, saved filters, creative downloads | Competitor Meta ads from Meta’s transparency library, TikTok ads from TikTok’s official library and the Top 100 TikTok advertisers, in the app |
| Makes the video | No | Yes: script, image, 5 s clip, voice-over, subtitles, 9:16 montage, from the real product photo |
| Publishing | None | Publishes or schedules to your TikTok and Instagram Reels accounts through their official APIs, then reports views and engagement per video |
| Price | Not quoted here — its plans have changed several times; check its own site | Subscription from $19 a month or a one-off coin pack from $9; no free plan, no trial |
Estimated revenue against an observed ranking
ShopHunter's core is a revenue figure per store and per product, updated through the day and charted over time, so you can see which stores are moving and which products carry them. No outside tool can read a store's Shopify admin, so these figures are modelled estimates; treat them as a direction, not as the store's accounts.
Koda reports something the store publishes itself: the order in which it ranks its own catalogue at /collections/all?sort_by=best-selling. Koda records that order for each store it tracks — 568 active stores as of 31 October 2026, 528 of them read in the previous 7 days — and anyone can check it by opening the same URL. It says what sells most in that store, not how much.
What happens after you find the product
ShopHunter's job ends with the research: the store, its best products, its ads and how fast they are being duplicated. Making a video, and posting it, happens somewhere else.
Koda carries the product on. Picked in its feed, it opens in the Create screen with its real photo, title and price; the video is generated from that photo — 226 coins for a full economy video, price on the button, coins refunded if a generation fails — then published or scheduled to your TikTok and Instagram Reels accounts, with the views each account got coming back into the app.
Before you pay for either
ShopHunter's plans have changed several times and third-party sites list different prices, so this page quotes none; read its own pricing page and terms before subscribing. On 23 October 2026 its Trustpilot page showed 1.6 out of 5 from 50 reviews.
Koda has no trial and no free plan: a subscription from $19 a month or a one-off coin pack from $9. The Shopify best-sellers page is public and free, with no account.
When ShopHunter is still the better choice
- You want revenue and sales estimates per store and per product, by day, week and month. Koda shows a store's best-selling order and says plainly that it is not a sales figure.
- You follow ad growth. ShopHunter's ad spy tracks active-ad counts and duplicates over time, so you can see who is scaling; Koda's ad library does not.
- You want alerts on the stores you watch. ShopHunter announces hourly updates and alerts on tracked stores.
- You already make your own videos. Koda's generation and publishing would be parts you do not use.
Frequently asked
- Is Koda a ShopHunter alternative?
- Partly. Both watch Shopify stores: ShopHunter estimates their revenue and tracks their ads, Koda reads each store's own best-seller order. Koda then generates the TikTok video and publishes it, which ShopHunter does not do. For revenue estimates and ad growth, ShopHunter is the better tool.
- Are ShopHunter's revenue numbers exact?
- They are estimates: no outside tool can read a store's Shopify admin. Use them as a direction. Koda does not estimate revenue at all — it shows the order the store itself ranks its products in, which you can check by opening the store's best-selling page.
- Does ShopHunter make TikTok videos?
- No. ShopHunter researches stores, products and ads. Koda generates the video from the real product photo and publishes it to your TikTok and Instagram Reels accounts through their official APIs.
- Is Koda free?
- No. Koda has no free plan and no free trial: using the app takes a subscription (from $19 a month) or a one-off coin pack (from $9). The Shopify best-sellers page is public and free, with no account.
