UPDATE 2024 - although the product is good. The price has unfortunately increased 300-500% ($69 pm to $250-500) to which is beyond excessive. Locked in as have pages built here. Expensive lesson to learn, would avoid.

Shogun is easy to use and we created most pages with it. The service is very good. When we have any questions we always receive support and an friendly answer even on the same day. In many cases, an employee from shogun fixed the problem for us and explained how we could deal with it the next time.
Sometimes, the layout of the preview at shogun looks different then the published page (desktop and mobile). In addition to that, it is not that easy to create a page that looks good on every smartphone.
All in all, Shogun is a very good program for people who would like to create pages very easily. I really recommend it!
Hi there, Josh. Thanks for sharing your feedback in the form of this review.
I am sorry to hear that you are facing issues with the pricing changes we have had. However, this price changes have been in effect for a while now.
I see your account was installed on our legacy plan that would have stayed if the app was installed. Having said that, when I look at your account I see that Shogun was uninstalled on December 15, 2023 and that removed the legacy plan. Our old plans were deprecated a long time ago and we don't have a way to move you back to them again.
With respect to the price increase, a big part of this is related to significant changes to our product and company. We were a “page builder” for a long time; however, we’ve expanded our offering to include core optimization features, including AB Testing, Targeted Experiences (personalize content to audience), SEO tools for keyword discovery, AI-assisted blog generation, and page performance monitoring.
We have removed page limits for any plan higher than the new Build plan and we have removed the user seat limits which means there are unlimited seats and there are unlimited sections as well.
However, we appreciate your feedback and I am happy to share the same with the team. I see you are in conversation with my colleague and if you have any further questions please do let us know. We'll be happy to answer them for you.
Thanks for your support.

Very bad Customer Support. Making a fool of us for last 1 month. Neither doing anything nor admitting that they cannot resolve the problem. Really sad. We are very old user of this app. Earlier we had good experience with the customer support, dont know what happened to them now.
Hey Saurabh,
I'm really sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience with support over the last month. I've reviewed your support interactions and I can see that you've been eagerly awaiting a fix for an issue over the last 30 days. We are so sorry that this is still impacting your account and we can certainly understand your frustration.
The engineering team has been made aware of your concerns and we have escalated the priority so that this can be resolved as quickly as possible.
Thank you so much for your continued patience and we will be in touch the moment we have an update.
Please let us know if there is anything else that we can do in the mean time.
We'll be in touch soon.

Shambolic - terrible service. The AB testing tool does not work at all and their excuses as to why were laughable. Stay away.
Hey Josh,
Thank you for your feedback.
I'm sorry that you were experiencing issues with our AB Testing tool, our engineering team are aware of this issue and have successfully identified the issue. They are currently investigating solutions to this and hope to have a resolution soon. I totally understand the frustration when a feature is not working as expected.
I hope that you will give us the opportunity to turn your negative experience around.
Thank you,
Karl | Manager, Technical Support
They just split the Personalzation feature into New App.
And they did mentioned "About Personalization: it’s no longer available for new Shopify installs after Nov 12, 2025, but existing users aren’t affected. If you were using Personalized Experiences, pages stay published and everyone just sees the Default Variant when MTUs run out."
Guess what, someone just pushed the new app and REMOVED THE YEARS OF PERSONALZATION work. Just PUFF, GONE for ever.
Hi Ravi,
I’m really sorry for the frustration this caused. I completely understand how alarming it must feel to see something that looks like years of work suddenly disappear.
To clarify, your personalization work has not been deleted. We pushed an unpublished version update, and your personalization can still be found in the versions tool, to which you can revert.
We recognize that this experience wasn’t clear or smooth, especially for customers actively using these features in Page Builder. That’s on us.
In response to your feedback, we’ve already re-enabled these features for you so you can continue working as expected while we reassess the transition approach.
If you’re still seeing issues, we’d really like to take a closer look at your specific setup. Please reach out to our support team directly, and we’ll prioritize resolving this for you.
Thank you for calling this out.

Worst app experience ever!
Hi there, Saul. Thanks for sharing the feedback with us.
I am sorry to hear about your experience.
I was looking at the conversation that you had with our support team, where my colleague was assisting you, and it looks like the issue was related to the removal of the product page. That usually happens when you unpublish the page in our app and then revert it. The state of the page will remain unpublished and that will mean the live page throws an error as the product is no longer live.
However, my colleague was able to restore and republish the page to ensure it worked and I can see you were able to revert the page again when you confirmed this was working correctly.
I see you have since uninstalled the app.
I am reaching out on the same thread to learn more about the issue is there was anything else that was causing an issue. I would appreciate if you could reply to our outreach so we can understand the use case further.
Thanks for your support and understanding.

I got the hint below when I want to open this app from Shopify:
The change you wanted was rejected.
Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to.
If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.
It is very bad to use. After uninstalling it, it added a bunch of unnecessary template files to my website, which I cannot delete.
Hey there, Jason.
While we appreciate the feedback, I want to let you know that I found no support interaction about this. If you have any questions or doubts about the same our support team would have answered them and also guided you in the right direction for how to remove Shogun code.
Every app or a page builder app will require some additions to the theme in order for the app and the pages or the content to function. Shogun adds minimal files or code and that is to ensure your pages continue to work when the app is uninstalled, this is expected behavior. But, you can always follow the steps to remove the code without causing any issues.
As suggested, I don't see any support interaction from your end. You installed the app 6 days ago and uninstalled.
However, please feel free to write to us at support@getshogun.com or reply to my email and we can help guide you on how to remove the code from your store.
Thanks.

I only installed this app hoping to find a way how I can use this app for our website but there is no trial to find out and you have to pay right away to use the app. However, on the back end the app installed various code to my theme without me using the app. As a result and because of their permissions to be able to change pages, some of my pages have been completely removed of text.
Uninstalling the app and will never use it again. Suggest PageFly app instead.
Hey there, Bart.
I am sorry to hear about the issues that have led to this 1 star review for our app.
I was looking at your account, and I have a few things that I would like to clarify.
1 - We offer 10 days of free trial on all our plans. When you select the trial, Shopify will proceed with the authorisation of the upcoming/recurring monthly charges. This happens when you select the plan to trial. That doesn't mean you will be charged right away. You can uninstall the app before the 10-day free trial period to cancel.
2 - Any app that is installed will add some code to the theme to ensure it functions correctly. The same happens with Shogun. When you install the app, Shogun adds minimal code to ensure you can create or edit pages. This is normal behavior. However, you can always remove the code using our detailed guide if you are not looking to use the app.
I see you imported 2 pages to us, and you will see the Shogun code in the theme.
3 - I am not able to locate any support conversation under your email address about these issues. Our team is more than happy to assist you if you have any doubts or questions. I see you refer to some of your pages having issues due to Shogun where the text is removed. If you could provide the example pages along with the screenshot of what text is removed, our team will be happy to check. BTW, I want to let you know that installing Shogun doesn't cause such issues, but we can only check when we have an example.
My colleague, Kevin, reached out to you via email to understand the issues further and help you, but I see the message hasn't been read and it has been 2 days.
We request you to please reply to that thread so that we can help you better.

Unexpected HUGE charge
Trying this app is not advised… I was shocked to see that I was automatically charged almost $400 (with taxes) after trying this for a day. My $1 / month trial Shopify account just set me up to get taken advantage of. If I automatically was charged $39 like it shows is the price then I would understand but this is 10x that.
I only used for a few hours and didn’t find Shogun to be intuitive unfortunately.
---Update - April 5, 2024---
Hi there, Jay, I appreciate you writing back, however, it looks like we have not heard back from you again. Could you check the email and reply back with the store details so that we can assist you further?
Thanks.

Hi there, Thanks for sharing your feedback here.
I am not able to locate your account or a support conversation about the same as the store name- My Store seems to be very generic.
However, I would like to let you know that app charges or subscription charges work based on billing cycles in Shopify. We offer 10 days of free trial and if the app is not required we recommend uninstalling the app before the trial period is over. If the app is not uninstalled, the recurring subscription starts automatically, that is how subscriptions work.
I see you suggested you tried the app for a day, but if the app was not uninstalled before the free cutoff period, you will be charged which is expected behavior. And, you will be charged based on the plan you selected while you uninstalled and started the trial.
If you reached out to our support team about this previously, could you reply back to us on that thread?
Having said that, as I am not able to locate your store details I wanted to check if you can reach out to our support team at support@getshogun.com?
Our support team will be happy to analyze the account and share further information to clear any doubts or misunderstandings here. And, we'll be happy to help with the charge.
We'll look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Thanks for your understanding.

Don't use this app. Find something else.
The app worked fine until they moved all the standard features to only be available in higher plans.
Image quality is an issue now on the main plan.
They want you to jump from $39/month to $99/month.
Embarassing for a SaaS company to act this way. I hope a lot of people cancel and move to more affordable competitors.
Hi there Aaron! Thanks for taking the time to log your feedback with us.
I am sorry to hear that your experience hasn't been a positive one.
I had a look to double-check and found that Image Quality Settings haven't historically been available on the Build plan and weren't moved up when we implemented the current plans. This hasn't been specifically raised as an issue before; still, we're taking this feedback and are looking at retroactively granting the capability to the current 'Build' plan, given the new price point.
Regarding the price increases - a big part of this is related to significant changes to our product and company. We were a “page builder” for a long time; however, we’ve expanded our offering to include core optimization features, including AB Testing, Targeted Experiences (personalize content to audience), SEO tools for keyword discovery, AI-assisted blog generation, and page performance monitoring.
While the entry plan has increased, we’ve also added features, including our AI page designer, AI text generation features, and grid-based editing. We also increased the page limit on our entry plan to 50 pages and removed page limits for any plan higher than entry.
While there are cheaper alternatives, if you’re looking to build and optimize your shopping experience, we are still quite budget-conscious compared to most AB testing, personalization, and SEO software providers.
Lastly, you can contact us any time at support@getshogun.com, and we will do our best to help.
