What is the cheapest Shopify store database?
By the OpenData team · 15 Nov 2026
On price, the cheapest full store database we know of is OpenData itself: Shopify records cost $4.00 per 1,000 full records, pay per row, and CSV export is included at that price — not locked behind a higher tier. The index behind it holds 269,688 verified Shopify stores in the current snapshot. The honest trade-off is scale: incumbents like Store Leads report far more stores, and charge far more for the privilege of exporting them.

|---|---|---|---|

Competitor figures are taken from the vendors' own public pages (vendor-reported, checked 2026-11-15) — the same figures as our full comparison page. Prices change; confirm current terms on the vendor's site before relying on them.
Why the gap is so wide
Store Leads' $75/mo entry tier cannot export at all — exporting starts at $250/mo, and its Premium and Pro plans are limited to 2 platforms. BuiltWith Basic costs $295/mo, and Wappalyzer Pro $250/mo (vendor-reported, checked 2026-11-15). OpenData includes CSV export and every detected technology from $4.00 per 1,000 full records, because a focused, self-collected index costs less to run: 1,504,744 verified stores, scanned by us, with no resold data in between.
When paying more makes sense
If you need millions of rows today, or years of web-wide technology history, the incumbents are the right buy — we say so on our comparison page too. If you need a focused, exportable list of real stores — especially Shopify and Southeast Asia payment coverage — a per-row pull covers it, and the free checker plus the free sample let you verify the record shape before paying anything.
Questions, answered straight
What is the cheapest Shopify store database?
OpenData is the cheapest full option we know of: $4.00 per 1,000 full records, pay per row, with CSV export included. Store Leads starts at $75/mo but that tier is search-only — export starts at $250/mo. BuiltWith Basic is $295/mo and Wappalyzer Pro is $250/mo (vendor-reported, checked 2026-11-15).
What do I actually get when I pay per row?
Core global store search with platform, country and payment filters, sample and CSV exports included, a monthly refresh, and public business contact availability flags — across an index of 1,554,041 tracked domains and 1,504,744 verified stores (snapshot 15 Nov 2026), including 269,688 verified Shopify stores.
Can I check the data before paying?
Yes. The store checker is free — look up any domain in the current snapshot — and there is one fixed free sample file per industry. Free accounts get 30 free unlocks per calendar month.
Is a bigger database always worth the higher price?
Not for most prospecting. What matters is whether the segment you sell to is in the index and whether you can export it. Incumbents report far larger databases (Store Leads reports ~13.8M stores — vendor-reported, checked 2026-11-15), which suits web-wide research; a focused pull, priced per row, suits targeted outreach.
