Boost makes search understand intent. Vorena holds the conversation.
Boost's site describes AI search, filters, merchandising, and recommendations for Shopify. Vorena is the concierge that reads catalog photos when the store syncs.
AI search and merchandising vs a concierge
Boost Commerce (boostcommerce.net) describes AI-powered search, filters, merchandising, and recommendations for Shopify. The homepage says search goes beyond keywords, including typo tolerance, and that the product supports multiple stores, currencies, and languages. It also says there is a 21-day free trial.
The Shopify App Store listing for Boost AI Search & Filter says plans start at $29/month, with pricing based on online GMV, and names a 21-day free trial. The same listing describes filters, recommendations and bundles, and merchandising controls such as pinning or reordering products. It says no coding is required.
Vorena does not offer a results page to merchandize. It offers a conversation, with product images read at catalog sync on every plan, and add to cart in the chat. Photo search and upsell suggestions are coming on Growth.
