Scelto vs Crawlight vs Kedra: Shopify Apps for AI Agent Traffic, Compared (2026)

Scelto makes this page. Crawlight and Kedra details come from their own Shopify App Store listings, read on 9 November 2026; where a listing doesn't say something, the table says "not stated".

Crawlight, Kedra and Scelto answer different questions. Crawlight sorts storefront visits into people and AI agents and shows what agents read and the orders they influenced. Kedra mainly tests whether AI assistants recommend you and drafts fixes, and also tracks AI visits and sales. Scelto makes your store readable for agents, checks whether assistants find it, and shows each agent's visit step by step, including verified agents. Below: what each measures, what it costs, a side-by-side table, and which to pick.

What each app actually tracks

Short answer: all three say "AI traffic", but they count different things. Crawlight counts agent visits, Kedra mostly measures whether AI engines mention you, and Scelto follows what agents do on the store and fixes what stops them.

Crawlight

Per Crawlight's App Store listing, Crawlight classifies every storefront visitor as a person or an AI agent and names agents such as ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. You get a weekly dashboard of AI visits, top products and "AI-attributed orders", a Monday email summary, real-time Slack and Discord alerts when an agent visits, and plain-language tips for making the store easier to read. The free plan keeps 30 days of history; Growth ($19 a month) keeps 180 days and adds trends.

Kedra

Per Kedra's App Store listing, Kedra is mainly an AI visibility tool: it checks whether AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI) name your store or your competitors, tracks that daily or weekly depending on the plan, and drafts AEO fixes you approve. It also publishes llms.txt and agents.md from the live catalog, writes blog posts, and shows AI traffic and sales, from 30 days to 12 months depending on the plan. It carries Shopify's Built for Shopify badge.

Scelto

Scelto adds complete product data to every product page through an app embed, clean pages agents can read for products, collections and policies, and a store agent that answers stock, comparison and policy questions from live data (nothing is ordered until the shopper confirms). It shows which agents visit, which are verified, and the orders AI sends, with a readiness score and the fixes ranked by impact. It also checks whether AI assistants would find your store for a shopper's search, running the same web searches they run. Pro adds likely-agent detection for agents that look like ordinary browsers, the products and funnel steps agents reach, what agents ask the store agent, "How agents shop" (each agent visit as a step-by-step timeline), and one-click fixes for categories, alt text and specs.

Verified, recognized and likely agents

Short answer: a name in a request can be faked; a signature can't. Treat "verified" as proof, "recognized" as a claim, and "likely" as an educated guess.

• Recognized: the request says who it is in its user agent ("ChatGPT-User", for example). Anyone can send that name.
• Verified: the request carries a Web Bot Auth signature, checked against the agent maker's published keys. Scelto labels these "verified". Crawlight's and Kedra's listings don't describe signature checks.
• Likely: some agents browse like a normal Chrome. Scelto Pro flags these as "likely agent" with the hint behind it, never as a certain identity, and shows unnamed visits as unnamed.

Price

Short answer: all three have a free plan. Crawlight Growth is $19 a month; Kedra's paid plans are $10, $25 and $79 a month; Scelto Pro is $29 a month with a 14-day trial. Prices are from each app's own listing or pricing page on 9 November 2026 and change often.

App	Free plan	Paid	Source
Crawlight	30 days of history	Growth $19/month, 14-day trial	Crawlight's App Store listing
Kedra	Yes	Starter $10, Grow $25, Pro $79 a month (yearly discounts), 10-day trial	Kedra's App Store listing
Scelto	Yes, no time limit	Pro $29/month, 14-day trial, billed through Shopify	Scelto pricing

Two lighter options: a8s Agent Ready is a scanner for $0.99 a month, and Scelto's free agent check needs no install at all.

Do you need an app at all?

Short answer: maybe not. Shopify's Agentic report covers orders and sessions from Shopify's own AI channels at no cost (Shopify Help Center). An app helps if you want to see agents that aren't Shopify channels, such as Perplexity or Claude, what they read, how far they get toward checkout, or whether AI assistants find and recommend you.

Which to pick

If your question is "does ChatGPT recommend me?" Kedra is built around that: visibility checks across six AI engines, competitor tracking, and fix and content drafts. It's also the most established of the three on the App Store.

If you just want to know when agents visit. Crawlight is the simplest: a weekly dashboard, a Monday email and real-time alerts in Slack or Discord.

If you want agents to read the store well and see what they do with it. Scelto gives agents complete product data and a store agent with the same facts people see, checks whether assistants find you, and shows each visit's path toward checkout, with verified agents marked.

Questions

Is there a free Shopify app to see AI agent visits?
Yes. Crawlight, Kedra and Scelto all have free plans.

What does “verified agent” mean?
The agent signed its request with Web Bot Auth, and the signature was checked against its maker's published keys. A name in the user agent alone can be copied, so it isn't proof.

Can these apps tell me if ChatGPT recommends my products?
Kedra tests that across several AI engines. Scelto checks whether assistants' web searches find your store for a shopper's search. Crawlight tracks what agents do on your store instead.

Does Shopify show AI agent traffic itself?
Shopify's Agentic report covers its own AI channels. It doesn't show agents such as Perplexity or Claude browsing your storefront.

Is Scelto in the Shopify App Store?
Not yet. It's in Shopify's review; email hello@getscelto.com for early access.

Can I check my store without installing anything?
Yes. Scelto's free agent check at getscelto.com/check needs no sign-up and works on any store platform.

Do agents see different prices or content with Scelto?
No. Agents get the same prices, stock and policies as people, with no hidden instructions.

How does Scelto bill?
Through Shopify. Pro is $29 a month after a 14-day trial; cancel from the Plan page in the app.
