PPSPY Guesses Sales Numbers. We Give You Verified Data.
PPSPY estimates sales figures that users consistently report as fabricated. StoreInspect gives you a searchable database of 144K+ Shopify stores with 206K+ verified founder contacts. Every data point is collected from actual page source. No estimates, no guesswork.
PPSPY is a product research tool built for dropshippers who want to spy on competitor sales and ads. The problem: its sales data is estimated by tracking inventory changes, and users consistently report those numbers as fabricated. Stores with no checkout enabled show sales. Stores can install scripts that feed PPSPY fake data. StoreInspect takes a different approach. We don't estimate sales. We detect what's actually installed on a store (apps, themes, pixels) and pair that with 206K+ verified founder contacts. If you're making outreach or inventory decisions, you need data you can trust.

StoreInspect vs PPSPY: Feature Comparison
How StoreInspect and PPSPY compare across the features that matter for prospecting.
Data Accuracy
All data is collected via headless browser scanning and verified from public sources. What you see is what the store actually has installed. No estimates, no projections, no guesswork.
Sales data is estimated by monitoring inventory levels and inferring purchases. Users consistently report seeing sales for stores with no checkout enabled. Stores can install scripts that feed spy tools fake data.
Bottom line: This is the dealbreaker. If you're making business decisions based on competitor data, the data has to be real. PPSPY's sales estimates have been called 'all wrong' by multiple reviewers. StoreInspect only shows verifiable data.
Contact Data
206K+ verified contacts attached to stores. Founder emails, CEO emails, marketing leads. 63% are personal emails, not generic info@ addresses. Reveal and export directly.
No contact data at all. PPSPY tells you what a store sells and estimates how much, but gives you no way to reach the owner. You need Apollo or Hunter on top.
Bottom line: Choose PPSPY if you only care about product research. Choose StoreInspect if you need to contact store owners.
Store Discovery
Searchable database of 144K+ Shopify stores. Filter by category, traffic, apps, theme, pixels, tech stack gaps, and more. Find 50 qualified leads in minutes.
Shop Explorer lets you browse and filter stores by revenue, keywords, and search volume. Good for finding stores to spy on, but revenue figures are estimates with questionable accuracy.
Bottom line: Both let you discover stores. StoreInspect filters on verifiable data (actual apps, themes, pixels). PPSPY filters on estimated revenue data that may not reflect reality.
Product & Ad Research
Not our focus. We detect apps, themes, pixels, and tech stack for lead qualification. No best-selling products or ad analysis.
Product Explorer, best-selling product detection, 15-day sales reports, Meta and TikTok ad library. Strong feature set for dropshippers researching what to sell.
Bottom line: PPSPY is the better tool for product research and ad analysis. But if you're using those features to make inventory decisions, the underlying sales data needs to be accurate.
Lead Qualification
Lead fit score based on traffic, tech stack gaps, and contact availability. Filter for stores missing specific tools. 67% of stores have no reviews app. Only 4.4% run the full CRO stack.
No lead qualification features. PPSPY is designed for product researchers, not for prospecting or outreach.
Bottom line: Choose PPSPY for product research. Choose StoreInspect for qualifying and prioritizing stores for outreach.
Pricing & Refunds
Free tier with 10 contact reveals/month. Pro starts at $49/mo with 1,000 reveals. No credit card required for free tier. Standard refund policy.
Starts at $19.90/mo. Free trial available (no credit card). But all plans are explicitly non-refundable. Users report the pricing model feels unreasonable for the data quality provided.
Bottom line: PPSPY has a lower entry price but locks you in with no refunds. StoreInspect costs more but delivers verified data with a free tier to evaluate first.
