Why Shopify brands choose Kimonix over Depict

Depict makes your storefront look beautiful. Kimonix makes it look beautiful and sell, surfacing the products that are right for the shopper and right for your revenue. Here's what that means in practice:

Granular collection merchandising on 100+ data parameters
+
Sort each collection on 100+ data parameters, conversion rate, revenue, real-time shopper behavior, inventory and variant-level stock, with rule-based strategies you set per collection and validate with collection A/B testing. It's a depth of merchandising control that converts browsers into buyers.
Looks good and sells
+
You don't have to choose between a visually compelling collection and one that performs. Kimonix factors conversion, revenue, returns and real-time behavior so what looks great is also what's right to sell.
1:1 personalization across collections and recommendations
+
The same real-time, shopper-level personalization powers both your collection sorting and your product recommendations, so every shopper sees the right products, in the right order, everywhere they browse.
Recommendations and email from one engine
+
Your on-site recommendations and your Klaviyo email run on the same logic, so they're always in sync. Depict doesn't include email personalization.
A shopping assistant that sells
+
Kimonix has agentic search too, but its AI shopping assistant goes further: it understands natural-language queries and lets shoppers buy right inside the chat, syncs the cart in real time, works in 50+ languages, and reports the revenue it drives.
Transparent, trackable pricing
+
A 14-day free trial and published rates, a $19 monthly base fee plus usage with the per-unit rate falling as volume grows, billed through Shopify so the spend is trackable. A/B testing is included rather than held back for a top tier, and a fixed-price Custom Plan is there if you want a set monthly bill.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kimonix a good alternative to Depict?

For Shopify brands that want product discovery to drive revenue, not just look good, yes. Kimonix unifies collection merchandising, 1:1 personalization, recommendations, and an AI shopping assistant in one Shopify-native platform, sorting on business signals like conversion, revenue, inventory, returns and reviews. Depict is a visual-first storefront-experience tool, a better fit if polished presentation is your primary driver, or you operate outside Shopify on a platform like Centra.

How do I switch from Depict to Kimonix?

Install Kimonix from the Shopify App Store; it works with your existing collections immediately, no replatforming, you're swapping the engine behind your collections, not rebuilding your store. There's a 14-day free trial to evaluate it alongside Depict before you commit.

If I switch from Depict, do I lose visual control of my collections?

No. Kimonix gives merchandisers hands-on control, pinning, product grouping, and rule-based strategies, layered on top of data-driven sorting. The difference is that what looks good is also chosen to sell, using conversion, revenue, returns and real-time behavior, not just presentation.

Does switching from Depict add recommendations and email?

Yes. Beyond merchandising, Kimonix includes 1:1 product recommendations and pushes them into Klaviyo and Attentive email from the same engine, so on-site and email stay in sync. Depict offers recommendations but doesn't include email personalization, so that's net-new when you switch.

What do brands gain by switching from Depict to Kimonix?

Collections that look good and sell, data-driven sorting, 1:1 personalization, recommendations, and a conversational AI shopping assistant in one Shopify-native platform, on published rates with a fixed-price Custom Plan option. See the full Kimonix vs. Depict comparison for specifics.
