OpenData vs PPSPY, the list vs the product hunt.
PPSPY tells you what Shopify stores are selling. OpenData hands you the stores — across platforms, with their published contacts, priced by the row.
1,504,744 verified stores · 23,984,359 domains scanned · snapshot 15 November 2026The short version
PPSPY is a Shopify product-research tool: it tracks winning products, store sales signals, ads and themes, and charges $39–$299/mo for the dashboard (vendor-reported, checked Nov 2026). It is genuinely useful if you hunt products. What it does not sell is the store list itself — and it carries no owner contact emails.
OpenData is the list. 1,504,744 verified stores across platforms, sold per row at $4 per 1,000 full records, with the public contacts each store publishes — 205,297 stores with a business email, 111,859 with a phone. No dashboard subscription, no credits.

Questions, answered straight
Does PPSPY include store owner emails?
No — vendor-reported, PPSPY surfaces public storefront elements only and does not provide private owner emails. OpenData full records include the business contacts a store publishes itself: email on 205,297 verified stores and phone on 111,859.
How many stores does PPSPY claim?
Its current claim is 1M+ active Shopify stores, alongside 200M+ products. An older 2024 source put the store figure at 2.5M, so the claim has moved over time — we use the current 1M+ figure. OpenData holds 269,688 verified Shopify stores within 1,504,744 verified stores overall.
Can I buy PPSPY data without a subscription?
The dashboard is subscription-only; the exception is one-time API credit bundles from $200 per 50,000 credits (vendor-reported). OpenData exports need no API and no bundle — a pull starts at the $9.99 minimum.
