Free 7-day audit.$200-$800/mo in savings, identified.
Most Shopify stores we audit are overpaying for apps that duplicate native functionality, plan tiers they've outgrown or never grew into, and subscription tools that haven't moved a single sale in 12 months. We are a Shopify Expert + Korean-American studio. We audit your entire stack — apps, plan, payment processors, marketing tools — for free. You keep the report. Execute the cancellations yourself, or hire us to do it for a flat $899.

Why this matters in 2026
Shopify's app marketplace has 8,000+ apps, and the average mid-size store accumulates 12-18 of them over a few years — most installed by a previous agency, a previous developer, or in response to a problem that was solved differently a year later. Nobody ever audits and cancels. The cumulative cost compounds silently: $29 here, $49 there, a $99 enterprise tool the store outgrew. The average Korean SMB Shopify store we audit is paying $400-700/month in apps alone, and 60-75% of that spend is providing zero or negative ROI.
Why we offer it free
Most of the cost-audit value lands inside the first 60 minutes of looking at your stack. We make this audit free because (a) it builds trust before any real engagement, (b) it surfaces deeper problems we can help with later (rebuilds, migrations, KakaoTalk integration), and (c) we have run 23 of these audits across Korean SMB Shopify stores in 2025-2026 and have identified $200+/month in savings on every single one. There is no catch. You keep the report whether you ever hire us again or not.

Why we know this works
Our most-public case study is TJ Flowers (Manhattan florist), where we removed two third-party apps (Pickeasy + Buunto) that were both breaking the checkout AND costing $79/month combined. We rebuilt that functionality natively in Liquid — saved the monthly cost AND lifted booking completion from 53% to 84%. The cost audit work isn't glamorous, but it pays for itself faster than any other service we offer.
