$4.50/mo

Small stores adding a few dozen images a month can run it free, and the $14 Beginner plan covers 1,500 images a month1. The catch is that minification, IndexNow and redirects start at $23, and TinySEO names no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification1,3.

Stores that want set-and-forget compression with SEO file names and ALT text get it for $4.99 a month on Micro1. The catch is that plans meter megabytes, not images, so heavy photos push you up a tier, and there is no data export, Shopify Flow support or named security certification1,2,7.

Store owners who want to learn and fix SEO themselves, including ALT text templates for images, will get the most from it2. The catch is the price: there is no free plan, it starts at $29.99 a month, and the page cap pushes a 2,000-product store to $79.991.
