MagicBrief alternative
Updated · How we collect this data
Brandloupe is a free MagicBrief alternative for Shopify research when you want a replacement for MagicBrief's competitor research after its shutdown. It re-checks 750,590 live Shopify stores every week and shows each store's launches, best sellers, price changes, apps, theme and pixels, with dates, plus Meta ads for stores that advertise. MagicBrief is the better choice if you need its ad performance analytics, which moved into Canva.
