Comparison
Both are Chrome extensions that open on a Shopify storefront and tell you about the store. The difference is what happens when you ask where a number came from.

Koala Inspector details below are quoted from koala-apps.io, September 2026. Pricing and features change — check their site before deciding.
For app stack, catalog and pricing research, yes. MakerPeek shows the categorized app stack, price distribution, bestsellers and launch cadence, and every figure cites the public Shopify endpoint it came from. It detects the store’s theme too. What it does not do is produce revenue or traffic estimates.
Because a public storefront doesn't expose order data. Any revenue figure is a model, not a measurement. We show what the store actually publishes and link you to it, so you can verify anything you're about to act on.
Free for 5 store views a day with no account. Pro is $11 a month or $81 a year and adds unlimited views, the full app stack, all 25 bestsellers and a 25-store watchlist with change alerts.
