Kleio sells one plan at $29 a month per store with every feature, unlimited users and orders, and flexible cost rules with dates. Alternatives fit different needs: Bloom costs less for the core job, Lifetimely leads with lifetime value, and nouz adds a 34-line P&L with per-parcel logistics and a forecast.
Kleio sells one plan at $29 a month per store with everything in it: profit dashboard, P&L, lifetime value, cohorts, inventory, unlimited users and unlimited orders, on a fourteen-day trial. That is the lowest price for every feature with no order limit among the tools compared on this site, and its cost rules go further than the price suggests, with filters and start and end dates. The stores that look for an alternative have a different shape: costs with parcel-level structure, a European tax and packaging setting, or a need for a forecast and a statement that says which stage of the business moved.
nouz is one of the tools compared here; competitor prices were read on 1 Oct 2026.
In short
- Kleio publishes one plan, checked 1 Oct 2026: $29 a month per store, billed through each store's own Shopify account, with every feature, unlimited users and orders, on a 14-day trial.
- Every feature on every plan is the right structure, and nouz shares it: its plans differ in how much they cover rather than in what they include. Base covers up to 500 orders a month, and Pro and Scale have no order limit, so past that point a good month never produces a bigger bill.
- Choose Kleio when you want everything at the lowest flat monthly price per store, with cost rules flexible enough for your shipping and many people needing access.
- Choose nouz when you want logistics priced per parcel with packaging fees, VAT on its own line, every cost type dated, a Forecast page and a contribution ladder from GMV to EBITDA, with lifetime value measured in contribution terms as well as revenue.
One price is a feature, not a compromise
Most of this category prices on volume, which means the tool costs more precisely when a store is growing and cash is tightest, and it means a merchant cannot answer the question of what analytics will cost next year. A single price removes that entirely, and it also removes the second-order problem: with no tiers, there is nothing to gate, so a small store gets the same product as a large one.
nouz shares the part of that position that decides what a small store gets. Every plan carries every feature, so nothing is gated and a small store gets the same product as a large one, down to the backfill of its entire order history on the first sync. The plans differ in how much they cover: Base is one store and up to 500 orders a month, while Pro and Scale have no order limit and add stores and team members, and no plan charges per order or bills overage. Where the two tools differ is the price level and what sits underneath it.
What Kleio's one plan covers
More than its price suggests. Kleio's variable costs can be a flat amount per order, a cost by order weight, or a share of sales or of ad spend, each filtered by destination country, product, shipping method or payment gateway, and each with a start and an end date. Fixed costs sit beside them, Shopify Payments fees are pulled from Shopify directly, per-order shipping costs from a 3PL can be uploaded, and ShipHero connects natively. Its documentation also describes a consolidated view across stores that converts every store into one currency at daily rates, and an MCP connection for AI assistants.
For a store whose fulfilment is a handful of carriers with weight-based prices, that model is enough, and for many stores it is the right amount of machinery for the money.
Where the alternatives differ
Bloom starts lower, at $20 a month with unlimited orders, and stacks its features by plan: lifetime value and Amazon from $40, attribution on $80; Bloom alternatives covers that end of the market. Lifetimely is free up to 50 orders a month, then priced by orders, and leads with predictive lifetime value and an AI agent. SimplyCost costs $9,99 a month for up to 600 orders. And nouz trades a higher price for a deeper cost engine and statement, set out below and side by side in Kleio and nouz compared.
What nouz adds underneath the price
The parcel, first. nouz models the parcel rather than the order: a split shipment is two parcels, each charged its own label, picking and box; a rate card prices each parcel by weight or by parcel size in zones you define, with one catch-all zone so every destination belongs somewhere; pick and pack is a base plus each additional item; return processing lands on the day of the refund; and packaging EPR fees are charged per destination country and material. Every one of those components carries an effective date, as do product costs, payment fee rules and overhead.
The recognition rules underneath are written down, one per line of the statement. A refund lands on the day it was issued rather than against the month of its order, a backdated cost re-prices only from its own date, VAT sits on its own line between Gross Revenue and Net Revenue, and a missing cost is flagged rather than counted as zero. An order Shopify stored in another currency is converted at the ECB reference rate before its own day, and stores are combined only when they share a currency, so no total ever mixes an exchange rate into a margin.
And it shows in what sits around the statement: a Forecast page that projects up to twelve months ahead, this one included, from the store's own orders, with What if scenarios, goals and planned events; margin targets that mark every P&L column against your own limits; and Insights that run each product down to EBITDA with breakeven CAC and breakeven ROAS. Each of these claims about nouz is listed, with where to check it, on the nouz facts page.
Lifetime value in both tools
Kleio lists lifetime value and cohorts in its single plan. nouz carries them on every plan as the LTV tab: cohorts by first-order month, cumulative LTV curves, a cohort triangle, and LTV by first product, by first-order promotion and by country at 90, 180 and 365-day horizons, with repeat and one-and-done rates and a CAC payback verdict. The distinction is the measure. A tool that knows every cost can state LTV in contribution terms, after goods, logistics and fees, beside the revenue figure, and a cohort that looks strong on revenue and weak on contribution is exactly the one a merchant needs to see. Right-censoring is applied and labelled, so a young cohort never reports a horizon it has not reached.

Where Kleio fits
Choose Kleio when the requirement is broad analytics at one price that does not move, and its cost rules can describe your costs. If your fulfilment is a few carriers priced by weight, a parcel engine is precision you will not use, and if several people work in one store, unlimited users at $29 is a plain advantage. A store in that position gets what it needs from Kleio, and if it outgrows it, it will know exactly which question the next tool has to answer.
Where the depth starts paying for itself
Three signals, and they tend to arrive together. Shipping stops being a rule per order, because split parcels, size-based carrier prices and packaging fees per market move the cost per order by more than the margin can absorb, and per-parcel logistics is the only way to see it. Costs start changing often enough, at the supplier and at the carrier, that every one of them needs a date. And the questions get finer: not whether the month made money, but whether the products earn, whether the orders earn and whether the customers earn, which is what a contribution ladder answers line by line. nouz is Base $55, Pro $115 and Scale $289 a month (about €49, €99 and €249), with every feature on every plan and a full backfill of the store's entire order history on each: Base covers one store and up to 500 orders a month, Pro up to 5 stores and up to 5 team members, Scale up to 10 stores and unlimited team members, and both of the larger plans include a dedicated account manager.
The break-even calculator is a quick way to see whether that depth is worth buying: put your own contribution per order against your fixed costs, and the answer usually makes the software decision obvious in either direction. What each plan includes is set out under nouz's pricing.
How the comparison was made
Kleio's price, plan and features were checked 1 Oct 2026 on its Shopify App Store listing, its homepage and its documentation. Feature claims come from what Kleio publishes, nothing is scored out of ten, and no review figure is quoted for either tool. Vendors improve and dates age, so Kleio's own pages are the authority on its numbers, and the nouz figures above interpolate from the same plan data the checkout charges from. If you are weighing more than two tools, the comparison of the best Shopify profit tracking apps uses the same method.
