Wayvia vs StoreLocators: 2026 Pricing and Comparison

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.

Our prices are public: $195, $395 and $995 a month on our Shopify App Store listing, each with a 14-day free trial. Wayvia publishes no price. It has no pricing page in its sitemap, and no figure, range, tier or contract length appears on the homepage, any of the five solution pages, or the contact page.^{22Source 22, Shopify App Store,8Source 8, wayvia.com,7Source 7, wayvia.com}

What can be compared is terms. Ours are published in full and take about a minute to check. Wayvia publishes none: minimum term, auto-renewal, notice period, termination fees and implementation fees are all absent from its public site, and whether it charges per SKU, per retailer, per market or per seat is not disclosed. That is a statement about what is published, not a criticism of the number.^{21Source 21, storelocators.com,8Source 8, wayvia.com}

Every Wayvia cell below comes from Wayvia’s own public pages, checked on 15 October 2026. Where they publish nothing, the cell says so rather than guessing.^{2Source 2, wayvia.com,8Source 8, wayvia.com}

“Connect shoppable media, Where to Buy, Store Locators, omnicommerce data, retail intelligence, and MAP enforcement in one platform built to increase conversion, protect revenue, and measure commerce performance.”

“Confirmed Sales. Not Add-to-Cart Guesses. Add-to-cart estimation tools model revenue from clicks. Wayvia reports the sale itself”

“A guided 4-step creation flow that takes brands from brief to published shoppable page with no engineering, no translation team, and no IT ticket.”

“Wayvia reflects our belief that the future of commerce will be shaped as much by intelligent systems as by human decisions.”

PriceSpider announced the Wayvia name on 24 July 2025, alongside an AI product it calls Wayvia MCP. The old domain now redirects to wayvia.com, though some legacy PriceSpider articles are still live on it. The company has also absorbed Commerce Connector, ORIS Intelligence and Hatch, and Commerce Connector still runs under Wayvia branding.^{3Source 3, wayvia.com,18Source 18, pricespider.com,4Source 4, wayvia.com}

Read their homepage closely and the scope is unambiguous. Where to Buy and Store Locators are capabilities inside Shoppable Media, sold next to Omnicommerce Data, Retail Intelligence and MAP Monitoring PROWL. The locator is one output of a data and media platform rather than the product itself. Almost everything below follows from that.^{2Source 2, wayvia.com}

PriceSpider’s own long-standing description of Where to Buy is crawl-based. It says its spidering technology actively monitors your product pages on your retail partners’ websites and displays real-time data, so that when a retailer sells the last of its stock the locator knows. Wayvia layers direct retailer partnerships on top of that, which is also how it sources the retailer-confirmed sales it sells as its measurement differentiator.^{17Source 17, pricespider.com,2Source 2, wayvia.com}

What Wayvia does not publish is a number. It says real time, and it says continuously validated, but no interval, no latency figure and no freshness commitment appears on the homepage, the solution pages or the Retail Intelligence page. So we are not going to state one on their behalf.^{2Source 2, wayvia.com,12Source 12, wayvia.com}

Ours is retailer feeds, updated daily. Availability is what the retailer reports, not a live poll of a physical shelf, and that is the honest description of any feed-driven system including theirs. The practical difference is not freshness. It is that one side tells you the cadence and the other does not.

The raw numbers are not close, and pretending otherwise would waste your time. Wayvia states more than 32,000 validated retailers and almost 7 million monitored product listings. StoreLocators integrates 205 retailers across 110,516 locations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.^{2Source 2, wayvia.com}

Geography is where that gap bites. Wayvia’s Hatch page claims 92 countries and gives a regional split of data-sharing retailers led by EMEA, and the 2022 Hatch acquisition release said over 90 countries. Both figures are vendor-stated, and the Hatch page still reads as PriceSpider-era material, so treat them as claims rather than a current audited count. Either way, if your distribution is European or APAC, a four-market locator is the wrong tool.^{9Source 9, wayvia.com,19Source 19, PRWeb}

Two things the headline number does not tell you. We found no public breakdown of how many of those 32,000 retailers report store-level, in-store availability rather than online product-page availability. And a large network is only useful if it contains your accounts, which for an emerging brand often means a regional grocer or an independent rather than a marketplace.^{2Source 2, wayvia.com,9Source 9, wayvia.com}

Enterprise where-to-buy is often assumed to be slow to stand up. Wayvia publishes the opposite for its newest product: Campaign to Live Page. Under 10 Minutes, through a guided four-step flow with no engineering, no translation team and no IT ticket.^{5Source 5, wayvia.com}

That figure covers building a campaign page. It does not cover the part that actually takes time, which is retailer and SKU onboarding, account provisioning, and getting your domain whitelisted. The community Drupal integration for PriceSpider is the clearest public evidence of that shape: it requires a registered vendor account and a whitelisted domain before the embedded Where to Buy experience will render at all. No turnaround for that step is published, so the table says unknown rather than slow.^{20Source 20, drupal.org,6Source 6, GlobeNewswire}

StoreLocators is a different shape rather than a faster version of the same thing. Install the app, add the Live Retail Map section to a theme, and discovery runs against your catalogue. Under five minutes, with no developer, and nothing gated behind a vendor switching you on.^{22Source 22, Shopify App Store}

Most brands arrive at this question with one of two problems. Either the locator is all they need and the suite around it is overhead they are paying for, or they cannot get a number out of a demo-led sale fast enough to decide anything this quarter. In both cases a focused locator is the right answer and the switch is small.

The switch stops being small the moment the platform is doing a second job. MAP enforcement, receipt-level attribution feeding a retail media budget, and non-US retailer data are three jobs no store locator performs. If any of those is load-bearing for your team, replacing Wayvia is a procurement exercise with several vendors in it, not a swap. The genuine overlap case is the brand that has outgrown a basic map but is not yet running multi-country retail media, and there it comes down to one question: do you need a sale confirmed by a retailer, or do you need shoppers to find your product on a shelf this month.^{12Source 12, wayvia.com,2Source 2, wayvia.com}

Moving a locator is mostly a data and embed exercise. The widget on your site is the easy part. The work sits in the retailer and SKU mapping behind it, and in whatever else you were buying from the same vendor.

Deal with that second part first. If Wayvia is also your MAP monitor, your retail media attribution layer or your only source of European retailer data, a store locator does not replace those, and this section is not going to pretend it does.^{12Source 12, wayvia.com}

Every Wayvia claim on this page was taken from wayvia.com, the legacy pricespider.com blog, a dated press release or a public integration listing, and each one was checked against the page as it stood on 15 October 2026. The sources are listed below with the exact URL we read.^{2Source 2, wayvia.com,8Source 8, wayvia.com}

Where Wayvia publishes nothing, this page says so instead of estimating. That applies to pricing, the pricing model, contract length, trial availability, data refresh cadence, retailer onboarding time and whether a Shopify listing exists. Two figures, the 92-country count and the 1,571 sales-data retailers, appear only on a page still carrying PriceSpider-era wording, and are attributed that way wherever they are used.^{9Source 9, wayvia.com,8Source 8, wayvia.com}

Claims about StoreLocators are held to the same standard and come from our own public pages, linked in the same list so you can check them the same way. Where a claim of ours is checkable against a third party, such as our published prices and plan tiers on the Shopify App Store, the source is listed alongside the rest.^{21Source 21, storelocators.com}
