Shogun review

Shogun, from Shogun Labs, has been on the Shopify App Store since September 2015, longer than any other builder here, and its listing carries a Shopify Plus Certified label. It is aimed at brands that manage a lot of content: reusable and global content sections, content scheduling, advanced media management, and on the $499 Advanced plan, syncing between stores, custom CMS collections and custom code elements. It also imports existing Shopify 2.0 pages and sections. For a small store the pricing is steep. Draft Mode is free but cannot publish, Build at $39 a month allows 25 published pages, and unlimited pages require Grow at $199 a month ($1,908 a year). Every paid plan has a 10-day trial. The listing names integrations with Klaviyo, Yotpo, Google Analytics, Instagram, YouTube and Adobe Typekit. Shogun scores well on features and lower on value, which is why it sits in the lower half of this list.
