FlexSync vs. eCommix 2026
The Only Shopify Sheet Sync
Where Formulas Actually Work
Free means Free
500 SKUs synced both ways. Automatic real-time updates. Multi-location support. 20 formula-driven cells. No trial clock. No credit card.
You can run a real small store on FlexSync's free plan indefinitely. Not a demo, not a countdown.
5 rows of export
5 rows of import
eCommix's free tier lets you export 5 rows per spreadsheet and import 5 rows back. For context: the average Shopify store has hundreds of SKUs. 5 rows isn't a free plan. It's a demo screen.
To actually use eCommix, you're on a 7-day paid trial from the moment you install. At $14.99/mo, that clock starts immediately.
By the time an eCommix trial runs out, FlexSync merchants on the free plan have already been syncing their real stores, for free, with no end date.
What Makes FlexSync Unique
Formulas that reach Shopify
Write any Google Sheets formula. When its result changes, Shopify changes with it in Real-time.
A free plan worth using
500 SKUs, automatic two-way sync, multi-location support, forever, no card required. eCommix's free tier is 5 rows. You can't manage a real store with 5 rows.
14-day trial. Not 7
Double the runway to configure columns, run real syncs, test formula automation, and decide confidently before paying a cent. eCommix gives you 7 days.
$9 / mo. Not $14.99
Both apps' entry plans handle up to 1,000 SKUs (or rows). FlexSync charges $9/mo; eCommix charges $14.99/mo. Same catalog scale, 40% lower price, every month, every year.
Real-time sync on every plan
FlexSync includes real-time two-way sync on every plan, including free. With eCommix, real-time is a Silver feature: you pay $39.99/mo before you get it.
Multi-location, built in
Manage stock across every Shopify location from one spreadsheet. One product row, one column per location. No add-on, no extra configuration, included on all paid plans.
