# Shogun: review and real cost

Visual page editor for Shopify blog posts, product, collection and landing pages, plus theme sections.

Verdict: Good, with caveats (5 of 8 checks). Rank 1 of 4 in Page builders. Developer: Shogun Labs, Inc.. Listing: https://apps.shopify.com/shogun

Install it if you want up to 25 custom pages for $39 a month and pages that stay live as plain HTML if you ever uninstall [1][3]. The catch: the free plan cannot publish, A/B testing is a separate app, and unlimited pages jump to $199 a month [1].

## Monthly cost

| Store size | Plan | Per month | Arithmetic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 orders | Build | $39 | Draft Mode cannot publish, so a store with several custom pages needs Build: flat $39 a month for up to 25 published pages [1] |
| 2,000 orders | Build | $39 | Build $39 a month for up to 25 published pages; no order limit, so 2,000 orders a month cost the same [1] |
| 10,000 orders | Build | $39 | Build $39 a month for up to 25 published pages; no order limit, so 10,000 orders a month cost the same [1] |

## Overview

Shogun is a visual page editor for Shopify, listed on the App Store since September 2015 [1]. You design blog posts, product, collection, home and landing pages from templates or elements such as sliders, video, countdowns and product tabs, and edit theme sections site-wide [1].

A/B testing is not part of this app; Shogun sells it as a separate app [1].

## Pricing

Draft Mode is free but only saves drafts [1]. To publish, Build costs $39 a month for up to 25 pages, and the price does not change with orders, so it stays $39 from 300 to 10,000 orders a month [1]. Past 25 pages, Grow costs $199 a month, and Advanced at $499 adds content syncing between stores and custom code elements [1]. Each paid plan has a 10-day free trial [1].

## Merchants

Shogun is rated 4.8 from 1,971 reviews, and 90% of ratings are five stars [1]. Recent reviews mostly praise fast, patient live chat support [1]. Older one-star reviews complain about code left in the theme after uninstalling and bugs; one 2026 review objects to personalization moving to a new app [5].

## Data

If you uninstall, your published pages and drafts stay on your store as plain HTML, though editing them outside Shogun can strip their styling [3]. Shogun deletes its own data, such as analytics and form data, within 14 days of uninstall, and some files remain in your theme [3]. The privacy policy names no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification and does not say where data is stored [4].
