Sparklayer
Free plan + paid from $49/month · 14-day trial · free plan available indefinitely
Shopify App Store overlay app · same-store wholesale experience
Closest fit if: The most direct fix for the two biggest Wholesale Gorilla complaints. Sparklayer ships true bulk price lists (spreadsheet upload, automated rules, per-customer/group pricing) instead of product-by-product manual pricing, and doesn't gate the core B2B feature set behind a $149.95 tier.
Strengths
- • Bulk price lists with spreadsheet upload, automated rules, and per-customer/group pricing — the exact gap Wholesale Gorilla leaves
- • Free plan available — lowest-risk way to evaluate before committing
- • Core B2B features available on entry tiers rather than gated behind Premium
- • Same-store experience, same Shopify-App-Store distribution model as Wholesale Gorilla
Trade-offs / when it's wrong
- • Still lives inside your live theme — same coupling concern as Wholesale Gorilla
- • Still requires the Shopify App Store
- • No bundled Odoo connector
- • Migration mental model is similar to Wholesale Gorilla, but you do have to rebuild price lists in Sparklayer's format
