ShopMy has no disclosed brand subscription fee. That's not an information gap, it's the actual answer, confirmed via a full 188-URL sitemap crawl of shopmy.us on 2026-08-19 that turned up no pricing page anywhere on the site, and no third-party source found a brand-side SaaS fee either. ShopMy's real "price" runs on commission instead: creators earn 10-30% depending on the brand and retailer, a rate the brand sets, sourced directly from ShopMy's own Creator Guide (guide.shopmy.us), verified 2026-08-19. ShopMy also ships a separate automated-gifting feature, Lookbooks, that places a real $0 order into the brand's own Shopify account when a creator self-selects a product, per ShopMy's own blog, verified 2026-08-25. So the honest comparison here runs on two axes at once: a commission model against a subscription model, and a broadcast-to-up-to-1,000-creators gifting flow against a single branded link gated behind human approval.
I run Seed, ship gifted product to creators every week from my own DTC store, and I want to be upfront that this category comparison is a little unusual because of that.
What ShopMy actually charges
There is no ShopMy pricing page to quote, and that absence is itself confirmed rather than assumed: the full 188-URL crawl found zero comparison or alternatives content of any kind published by ShopMy about itself, and neither "ltk vs shopmy" nor "shopmy alternatives" has a page written by the company. ShopMy's public identity runs entirely creator-first: creators build shoppable pages and earn commission on what sells through them, and brands opt into that ecosystem rather than subscribing to a tool the way you'd pay for Seed or GRIN.
The real cost is the creator commission, 10-30% depending on brand and retailer, set by the brand, per guide.shopmy.us, ShopMy's own Creator Guide, high confidence on the model itself. That page explicitly states creators "don't pay to join," confirming the fee structure runs through commission on sales, not a brand-side subscription. A separate, unconfirmed claim exists that ShopMy takes roughly 15% of a brand's "Opportunities" (paid-post) budget on top of whatever else is charged, but this could not be independently verified against ShopMy's own site, which is silent on brand-side fees beyond the commission model, and comes from a rival's competitor content (influencer-hero.com), low confidence. Treat the commission percentage as the confirmed number and the 15% Opportunities figure as unverified if you see it repeated elsewhere.

Where these actually differ
ShopMy actually runs two mechanisms side by side. The commission engine is an ongoing revenue share on downstream sales through a creator's own shoppable page, with no subscription fee anywhere in it. Separately, its Lookbooks feature is a real gifting mechanic: a brand sends one lookbook to up to 1,000 creators at once, each self-selects a product, size, and style, and a real $0 order lands in the brand's Shopify account, tagged "Lookbook" or "ShopMy," per ShopMy's own blog. The gap against Seed isn't whether free product changes hands, it's how: ShopMy's gifting flow runs inside its own creator dashboard, and the Shopify connection is a brand-created private app where you generate and paste API keys by hand, not an App Store install. Seed's flow is a single branded link on the brand's own domain, gated behind a human approval step before the $0 draft order exists, with a published self-serve price ladder. Shopify Collabs is the only tool on this list that shares ShopMy's commission logic, though it currently isn't accepting new creator signups, per Shopify's own Help Center, which narrows it mostly to brands with existing relationships already in place.
None of the gifting tools here, Seed included, replace what a shoppable-link platform does for a brand chasing affiliate-driven sales. They solve a different, earlier problem: getting product into a creator's hands in the first place.
Seed's mechanism is worth spelling out since it's the reason this comparison holds up. A merchant shares a branded link, a creator picks a product and variant, types their address, and a real Shopify draft order lands in the admin at $0, no discount code and no storefront checkout involved. Nothing ships until a human approves it, so a bad-faith claim never quietly becomes an order Shopify has already created. The form runs on the merchant's own domain, already shipped and live, not a third-party subdomain. Post-delivery, Shopify's own delivery webhooks feed a Kanban board that tracks whether content actually came back, no spreadsheet required. That's a fulfillment and tracking layer, not a shopping or commission layer, and it isn't trying to be one. Dr Water shipped 138 gifts in 46 days on Seed's done-for-you Concierge tier, and hiccpet moved off discount-code gifting entirely to run about 19 gifts a week through the same mechanic.
Who should not pick Seed
If what you actually want is ongoing affiliate revenue share through creator storefronts, Seed is not the tool, and neither is most of this list. Shopify Collabs is the nearest fit, with its current signup freeze as the caveat. If you want a guaranteed post with zero operational lift, Stack Influence's $0/mo plus roughly $30 per completed post is worth a look before Seed. And if your program runs on commission rather than a subscription, ShopMy's 10-30% creator-set rate, with zero subscription cost to the brand, is a real, working model a flat-fee gifting tool can't match on structure — though if it's the gifting mechanic itself you want, ShopMy's own Lookbooks feature does that too, just without a published price or a Shopify App Store install to check beforehand.
What to do next
If your actual need is gifting fulfillment, not affiliate commerce, install Seed at apps.shopify.com/influencer-form (5.0 stars, 2 reviews, launched 2026-05-13). Pricing is on /pricing. If it's commission-based creator commerce you're after, ShopMy's own Creator Guide at guide.shopmy.us is the clearest source for how that model actually works.
What ShopMy doesn't do
- No self-serve brand signup or checkout — the brands page ends in a "Request a Demo" call, not a plan picker.
- No public pricing page found on shopmy.us for either the commission model or Lookbooks gifting.
- No Shopify App Store listing exists for ShopMy.
- The Shopify connection is a brand-created private app — you generate and paste API keys by hand, not an App Store install.
- The gifting request/accept flow runs inside ShopMy's own creator dashboard, not a page hosted on your domain.
What Seed doesn't do
- No ongoing commission or revenue-share engine — Seed doesn't track or pay creators a cut of downstream sales.
- No bulk lookbook broadcast — Seed sends one branded link per gift, not a single send to up to 1,000 creators at once.
- No creator-facing shoppable storefront for affiliate sales.
- No dedicated strategic account support — Seed is self-serve software, not a partner relationship.
