What apps do scale-stage Shopify stores use?
Scale-stage stores ($100K-$1M/month) run 10-20 apps with a sophisticated stack.

What makes scale-stage stores different from growth stores?
Scale-stage stores operate multiple revenue channels simultaneously (DTC, wholesale, marketplace, international) and invest heavily in retention infrastructure. Their LTV:CAC ratio is tracked weekly, and they have dedicated teams managing each app category. App stack decisions are made based on ROI data, not feature lists.

At $500K/month, the most common stack combines Klaviyo (email/SMS), Yotpo (reviews + loyalty), Triple Whale (analytics), Recharge (subscriptions), and Gorgias (customer support). This 5-app core handles 80% of revenue operations and is found on thousands of top Shopify stores.
