Shopify app showing live per-location stock, with a store locator
GeoStock is the only product in this comparison showing genuinely live stock numbers, and the qualifier matters: it reads your own Shopify locations, so it answers which of your stores has an item right now. Retailers who stock your line are not Shopify locations and do not appear. That makes it the closest thing here to real inventory and the furthest thing here from a retailer locator.

GeoStock does something nothing else here does: real stock, per location, from your own Shopify data, with no list to maintain. It stops exactly where your own locations stop. We are the better buy when the locations that matter belong to retailers you do not control.
What each product is designed to do, in its own terms. A capability named on one side is not a claim that the other lacks it, and neither column ranks the two: the table below is where they are compared row by row.
Ask which map provider it uses and who pays for map loads. Neither is published.
Two very different products at two very different prices, and the cheap one is not the compromise version of the expensive one.
GeoStock prices a Shopify app that reads inventory you already have. We price retailer availability data for stores you do not own, refreshed daily, with the map included. If your locations are all your own, the ten-dollar app is the right answer and nothing on this page argues otherwise.

“Send back in stock alerts per store and show multi location inventory on every product page”
“We recommend turning on the cache feature because with the inventory shown on your cart page we reach the API limit of Shopify faster than usual.”
The first quote is accurate and the inventory half of it is the reason to buy the app. Every location it knows about is one of your Shopify locations, so the stock number is the real one and nobody has to keep it current.
The second is the honest boundary of "live". On the cart page the vendor recommends caching because Shopify’s API limits are reached faster there, which means the figure a shopper sees at that point is recent rather than instantaneous. That is a sensible engineering choice and worth knowing before promising anyone a real-time number.
GeoStock knows your Shopify locations. We discover retailers that stock you across integrated feeds, refreshed daily, which is the set of stores most brands actually need on a map: the ones with your product on a shelf and no relationship to your Shopify admin.
GeoStock gives perfect data about a handful of locations. We give daily-refreshed data across a retail network running to thousands of stores. For a brand selling through retail rather than operating retail, the second shape is the one that answers a shopper’s question.
GeoStock is a Shopify app with no embed for anything else and an English-only interface. Ours runs as a Shopify app section or as a script and one div on any site, which matters when the brand site and the store are not the same thing.,
GeoStock lists no per-location pages for search, no analytics or export, no public API and no terms page, and the vendor’s surfaces are spread over several domains and two company names. Ours publishes prices, a 30-day refund window and cancellation terms in one place. At $9.99 the first list is a fair trade. At a procurement review it is a set of questions.,
Taken from that table rather than written out again, so the two cannot disagree. A row shows up here when we publish an answer and they publish none, or when both answer and ours covers more of the feature. Rows where both sides publish a figure, a price or a rating, stay out: those differ by their content.
Every product in this comparison claims something about availability, and almost all of it is a tag somebody typed. GeoStock is the exception: it reads Shopify’s own inventory records for your locations, so the number on the page is the number in the system.
The limiting word is "your". A Shopify location is a warehouse or a shop that you operate and that exists in your Shopify admin. A retailer that buys your product wholesale and puts it on a shelf is not one, has no reason to become one, and would not give you their stock file if you asked. So the set of locations GeoStock can talk about is exactly the set you already control.
That is why this page does not frame GeoStock as a weaker locator. For a brand with fifteen of its own shops, it is doing something we do not do and cannot do: reporting the actual unit count. For a brand selling through nine hundred stores it does not own, it has nothing to display at all. The two products are pointed at opposite halves of the same shopper question.
Stock reads from Shopify as the page loads, which is as current as it gets. One documented exception is worth knowing about before anyone promises a real-time figure in a marketing brief.
On the cart page the vendor recommends turning the cache on, because showing inventory there reaches Shopify’s API limits faster than usual. Caching is the right call, and it means the cart-page figure is recent rather than instantaneous. How recent is not documented.
One more scope note in the same spirit: the country filter works on product pages but not at checkout, because Shopify does not allow apps to change that surface. Both limits come from the platform rather than from the app, and both are stated by the vendor rather than discovered.
One thing to check before installing anything you will depend on: GeoStock’s public surfaces are unusually spread out. The Shopify listing lives under a slug about product inventory information, the developer of record is a limited company in San Jose, the documentation is hosted on a GitBook under a different company name, the privacy policy is on a personal GitHub Pages site, the geostock.app domain is a single contact page with no pricing and no terms, and the developer website the listing links to, under that second company name, fails to load with a self-signed certificate.,,
None of that means anything is wrong with the app, and it is well reviewed. It does mean there is no single vendor site, no terms of service and no obvious front door, which is a different risk profile from a company with one domain and a support desk behind it.
The review record points the same way. 4.9 across 111 reviews is good, and the five negative reviews spread from 2021 to 2025 share one theme, which is how long support takes to answer. The higher plan explicitly sells same-day resolution and direct developer access, so the vendor appears to know it.,
This is the one migration in this set that is usually not a migration. GeoStock’s data lives in Shopify, so there is nothing to export and nothing that breaks when you add something else.
For most brands the honest answer is to run both: keep GeoStock for your own stores, add retailer coverage for the ones you do not own.
A free plan displays stock for up to 2 locations. Above that there are two flat plans: $9.99 a month for Base and $29.99 for Plus, both with unlimited locations and variants and a 14-day free trial. There is no per-location pricing and no annual price is listed. Plus adds priority support with video calls, same-day issue resolution and direct access to the development team. The map provider is not named anywhere, so whether map loads carry a separate cost is a question worth asking before installing.
Yes, and it is the only product in this comparison that genuinely does. It reads your Shopify location inventory, so the quantity a shopper sees on a product page is the quantity in your system, per location and per variant. One documented exception: on the cart page the vendor recommends turning the cache on, because showing inventory there reaches Shopify’s API limits faster, which makes that figure recent rather than instantaneous.,
No. Every location GeoStock knows about is one of your own Shopify locations. A retailer that buys your product wholesale and puts it on a shelf is not a Shopify location, has no reason to become one, and there is no mechanism in the app for adding one. That boundary is a design decision rather than a shortcoming, and it is the line between this app and a retailer locator.
It holds 4.9 across 111 reviews on the Shopify App Store, with 104 five-star reviews. It launched in March 2019 and the developer of record is based in San Jose. Five negative reviews span 2021 to 2025 and their common theme is how long support takes to reply; the higher plan sells same-day resolution and direct developer access, which suggests the vendor is aware of it.,
It has a store locator. Alongside the inventory display the listing advertises an interactive store locator with search, store directions, contact details and business hours, and a store selector that finds the shopper’s nearest location or lets them choose. The documentation says it asks the browser for the shopper’s location first, with an IP estimate as a fallback. What it does not publish is which map provider sits behind the locator, or whether a customer-supplied key is needed, which is worth asking about.,
If you need live stock at your own Shopify locations, there is not much like it at the price and swapping it out usually loses a capability. If what you actually need is for shoppers to find retailers that stock your product, that is a different job and what StoreLocators does: retailer feeds refreshed daily, per-product and per-store availability across a retail network you do not own, and the map included. Plenty of brands run both.,
