What is Sortify?
Sortify: Collection Sorting gives merchants automated and manual sorting for Shopify collections, including custom rule creation, drag-and-drop reordering, push down for sold-out items, and separate sorting by inventory, new arrivals, best sellers, price and discount percentage. Plans are priced by product count and by how often collections auto-sync, from every 24 hours on lower tiers to every 4 hours on the $99/month plan.
What is Rankify?
Rankify: Collection Sort automates sorting based on real-time sales and stock levels, pushes sold-out products down, pins high-margin items up, and lets you combine several attributes into one weighted ranking score on its Plus and Advanced plans. It also includes a preview step before a collection's new order goes live.
Pricing and product limits
Rankify's Basic plan is $9.50/month for up to 1,000 products and 3 smart collections. Sortify's lowest plan is $19/month for up to 500 products. At the top end, Rankify's Advanced plan ($49/month) and Sortify's top plan ($99/month) both cover unlimited products.
How each app combines attributes
Sortify's listing describes separate sorting modes, such as best-seller sorting, price sorting and inventory-based sorting, that a merchant chooses between. Rankify's listing describes combining several attributes, like sales, stock, margin and tags, into a single weighted score, with custom weighted metrics on the Advanced plan.
If you want one combined ranking score instead of choosing a single sort type, Rankify's weighted scoring is the closer fit based on its listing.
Sync frequency
Sortify's listing states specific auto-sync intervals by plan, from every 24 hours up to every 4 hours on its top plan. Rankify's listing describes real-time sales and stock based sorting and real-time dynamic reordering on the Advanced plan, but does not state a fixed sync interval the way Sortify's listing does.
