Our ranking in video

Let's dive into our top list

#1 Bloggle - The Complete Blog Builder

Bloggle was developed to overcome the limitations inherent in Shopify and other available apps. Stemming from our half-decade experience in running a Shopify agency, this tool was crafted in direct response to repeated client requests.

#2 Shogun - More Than Just a Landing Page Builder

Though not originally designed as a blogging tool, Shogun for a significant period was the sole option for crafting customized Shopify blog articles. The app's primary focus is on landing pages—like those for products—which results in a feature set rich for marketing but lacking in SEO-specific utilities.

Who is it For?

Big companies

Pricing

$19/month to $499/month. One blog post can be published for free.

Features

  • Drag-and-drop editor: Simplify your design process.
  • Customize all types of pages: Versatility in page design.
  • Extensive app integrations: Connects with major platforms.
  • Variety of customizable elements: Tailor your content’s look and feel.

Our review

Shogun comes with an array of features well-suited for marketing landing pages but falls short when it comes to SEO-centric functionalities. We feel that its pricing model makes it a viable option primarily for Shopify Advanced or Shopify Plus stores, especially those that prefer not to rely on developers for page modifications.

Strengths

Excellent customer support

Versatility beyond just blogs

Seamless integration with other platforms

Significant customer base and positive reviews

Designed with Shopify's specific needs in mind

Abundant design sections available

Weaknesses

Complex due to an abundance of elements

High pricing model

Absence of SEO tools and guidance

Not primarily a blog-focused tool

#3 DropInBlog - SEO friendly blog

DropInBlog was designed as an alternative to WordPress, primarily targeting those who are looking for an SEO solution. However, while SEO is indeed critical, it's important to note that Google also values design and user experience on the page, an area where this app lacks. Despite this, DropInBlog effectively serves its purpose and is a suitable option if you're launching your blog.

Who is it For?

Solofounders/Beginners
SMB

Pricing

$24/month to $49/month

Features

  • SEO scoring tool. The first app on Shopify that offered such a feature
  • Ability to add multiple authors: For a more collaborative approach.
  • Ability to customize blog categories: To fit your specific needs.
  • Ability to embed products: Though limited to a simple layout.

Our review

We believe DropInBlog to be a strong choice if you are singularly focused on SEO. It is the first app on Shopify to offer an SEO scoring tool. However, Google gives more importance to design and user experience on the page, making the app miss an important SEO improvement. If you're just starting your blog, this app does the job well.

Strengths

Easy to use

Responsive support team

Ability to personalize the blog landing (search and navigation)

Ability to embed products

Weaknesses

The app was not created for Shopify

No complex design capabilities (really close to Shopify native blog feature)

Content not embedded on Shopify servers, making the app really hard to leave ⚠️

The app is just AMAZING! Everything I ever wanted for our blog and SEO is here... and their support team is just ANOTHER LEVEL!
Love working on Bloggle! Excellent tool to make your blog very clean, eye-appealing, and 100% SEO oriented. Very intuitive to use.

#4 Blog Studio - Affordable Design Marred by Bugs

Blog Studio holds the distinction of being the first, and for a long time, the only dedicated blog app on the Shopify app store. While it performed admirably in its early days, recent reviews point to numerous bugs and issues that we too encountered when preparing this ranking, making the app challenging to use. Ignoring these glitches, the app enables the creation of aesthetically pleasing blog posts, although the features seem more tailored for marketing landing pages than genuine blogs.

Who is it For?

Due to the bugs, we don't recommend this app.

Pricing

$9.99/month

Features

  • Drag-and-Drop Editor: For easy customization.
  • Numerous Prebuilt Sections: Providing a variety of design options.

Our review

We found Blog Studio to be a pioneer in dedicated blogging apps for Shopify, but its recent performance has been marred by bugs and issues. These glitches make the app difficult to use, which is why we cannot recommend it. Excluding these issues, the app does allow for the creation of well-designed blog posts. However, these features seem to be more aligned with marketing landing pages than actual blogs.

Strengths

Rich components library

Low price

Weaknesses

No SEO scoring tool or advice

The UX is often complex, making hard to find simple elements

A lot of bugs in the interface

No ability to embed products

#5 Recipe kit - All recipes blogs

The Recipe Kit was established by a solopreneur a few years back and is solely geared towards crafting blog recipes. The app caters to specific needs like categories, cook time, number of servings, and prep time. While it's an easy-to-use platform and a good starting point for beginners, its limitations become evident as your blog expands. You'll eventually need to diversify your content to rank better in SEO, and this app restricts you to creating only recipe articles.

Who is it For?

Solofounders
SMB

Pricing

From $10.99 to $15/month

Features

  • Easy-to-Use Editor: No steep learning curve.
  • Complete Recipe Creation: Everything you need to craft a full recipe.
  • Link to Related Products: Allows you to add links to related products from your online store.

Our review

We find Recipe Kit to be an excellent starter tool, especially if you're focused on creating recipe blogs. However, as your blog grows and SEO requirements diversify, you'll find the app's limitations—namely, that you can only produce recipe articles—restricting.

Strengths

Easy to install

Clear and easy templates to work with

Weaknesses

No SEO scoring tool or advice

No versatility in article types—you're confined to creating only recipe blogs

Not a drag-and-drop editor; you're limited to existing sections

Amazing customer service! The app has all features needed to run a great blog. Images, videos, SEO, text blocks, etc.

#6 Pagefly - Landing page builder

PageFly stands as one of the most frequently utilized page builders on Shopify. It's an exceptional tool if you're looking to build your website from the ground up without the need for a developer. The app allows you to construct various types of pages—homepages, product pages, collection pages, and blogs included. However, we find that this tool may not be the best fit for novices or those without substantial design experience, given its extensive features and capabilities.

Who is it For?

Large brands

Pricing

$24/month to $99/month (1 blog post for free)

Features

  • Complete text editor: Offers hundreds of elements for blog customization.
  • Analytics: Provides insights for pages created via the app.
  • Versatile Page Types: Accommodates all kinds of pages.
  • Prebuilt Templates: Option to start with prebuilt templates or sections.

Our review

We believe that PageFly is a powerful tool for those who know precisely what they aim to accomplish. Its comprehensive feature set, however, can be overwhelming for beginners or those without a keen design sensibility.

Strengths

108 integrations with tools such as Bold Bundles, JudgeMe, Yotpo, Growave…

Rich library of design sections to add

Weaknesses

Hard to use due to the plethora of elements to consider

Price can escalate based on the number of pages you operate

Once uninstalled, updating pages becomes almost impossible; adds excessive HTML/CSS  code to your theme

Lacks SEO scoring tools or advice

#7 SEO blog optimizer - Simple SEO app 

SEO Blog Optimizer is the brainchild of a solo founder and aims to enhance your blog's SEO. The advice it offers is along the same lines as what you would find in DropInBlog or Bloggle. By adding an SEO keyword you aim to rank for, the app provides actionable advice to improve your article's Google ranking. It's a suitable tool if you're interested in straightforward SEO guidance without delving into the intricacies of UX/UI optimization.

Who is it For?

Solobusiness/Beginners

Pricing

 Free to $14,9/month

Features

  • SEO Scoring Tool: To evaluate your blog posts.
  • Update Settings: Ability to tweak blog post settings directly within the app.

Our review

We believe SEO Blog Optimizer is a valuable tool for those who want simple, actionable SEO advice. You input a keyword you aim to rank for, and the app provides advice to help your article rise in Google's rankings. It's an ideal fit if you're not looking to dive deep into UX/UI enhancements for your blog.

Strengths

Easy-to-follow advice

User-friendly

Reasonably priced

Weaknesses

No design capabilities (really close to Shopify native blog feature)

No ability to embed products

Bloggle really helped us improve the style of our blogs, plus the ability to easily display products is a huge win.
The support is great as well. I'm excited to dig into their SEO optimization tools.

#8 Reputon Blog & Page Builder - Google docs to blogs

Reputon Blog & Page Builder targets the numerous SEO writers and agencies that utilize Google Docs for content creation, enabling automatic importation of this content into Shopify. While this concept holds promise, the app falls short by not allowing customization of the imported content's appearance. Essentially, a manual copy/paste from Google Docs to Shopify achieves similar results. That said, Reputon does offer a free plan, making it a viable option for those focused on improving productivity.

Who is it For?

Solobusiness/Beginners

Pricing

Free to $9.99/month

Features

  • Google Account Integration: Directly link your Google account to the app.
  • Import Options: Choose to import content to either blogs or pages.
  • Theme Styles: The app allows the application of theme styles to your content.

Our review

We think Reputon Blog & Page Builder serves a specific need, particularly for those who heavily use Google Docs for their content creation. However, the lack of customization capabilities makes it a less exciting option. Its free plan could be a draw for those looking to enhance their workflow efficiency.

Strengths

User-friendly

Time-saving one-click import

Weaknesses

No SEO scoring tool or advice

No advanced design features (akin to Shopify's native blog feature)

No ability to embed products

No control over the final result

#9 Jolt AI - AI blog creation

Jolt AI is a new addition to the Shopify app ecosystem, focusing solely on blog content creation. It simplifies the generation of articles and images for your blogs at a reasonable price point. We see AI technology becoming increasingly significant in content creation, but caution is advised. If Google detects that your content is a mere copy/paste job from an AI tool, your content will be graded poorly. For those considering an automated tool like Jolt AI, remember to personalize and modify the content to ensure search engine relevance. A GPT-4 paid plan, with some manual adjustments, could yield results comparable to a fully automated solution.

Who is it For?

Solobusiness/Beginners

Pricing

 Free to $10/month

Features

  • AI-Generated Articles: Quick and simple article creation.
  • Product Links: The ability to insert links to your products in the content.
  • Featured Images: Automatically generate featured images for your blogs.

Our review

We believe Jolt AI offers a convenient solution for automated blog creation, especially for those new to the space. While AI's role in content creation is growing, it's crucial to use it judiciously to avoid Google's penalties for low-quality content. If you do opt for this tool, we recommend personalizing the AI-generated content to align with search engine requirements.

Strengths

User-friendly interface

Quick content creation via AI

Weaknesses

No SEO scoring tools or advice

No advanced design features (akin to Shopify's native blog)

Cannot embed products, only links

Finally a way to create beautiful blog posts for our Shopify site! I've been having a great experience using Bloggle, and their customer support and Julien have been very reliable, fast, and overall wonderful!

#10 Zeno blog builder - SEO & design for beginners

Zeno Blog Builder is the brainchild of the Zeno page builder team. It focuses exclusively on blogging, offering a more straightforward experience than Shopify's native blog feature. It provides a selection of easy-to-configure building blocks that enable you to create a blog with more complexity than what Shopify alone would allow. Notably, Zeno is the first to introduce an easy-to-navigate SEO tool and a grammar checker.

Who is it For?

Solobusiness/Beginners

Pricing

 Free to $9/month

Features

  • SEO Analyzer: A tool for basic SEO analysis
  • Grammar Checker: A first-of-its-kind feature in this space
  • Simple Blocks: Basic components to build your blog

Our review

We find Zeno Blog Builder to be a valuable resource for solo entrepreneurs and new store owners. While it's not a one-stop-shop for all your blogging needs, it provides basic, yet useful, functionalities like SEO analysis and grammar checking. This makes it easier for those who are just starting to navigate the labyrinthine world of blogging.

Strengths

User-friendly

SEO analyzer

Competitive pricing

Grammar Checker

Weaknesses

Absence of SEO score tools or advice

Limited design features (the blocks are rather basic)

Challenges with implementing brand styles (fonts and buttons)

No preview feature available

How did we choose these Shopify blog plugins?

It is natural to wonder why we selected only these 10 apps for this list of the best blog apps for Shopify. The answer to that has three main pillars:

  • We Tried Them Out: Yep, we actually took the time to install and use each of these apps. We weren't happy with just going through a features list; we wanted to know how these apps perform in the real world.
  • We Know Shopify: We've been working as a Shopify dev agency long enough to know what works and what doesn't. That experience counts when we're separating the wheat from the chaff.
  • What You Said Mattered: We read the reviews. Not just a couple—lots of them. What you and other users had to say made a big difference in our final assessment.

That's it. No magic formula, just good old-fashioned first-hand research, hands-on experience, and reading public opinion. We believe that's the best way to give you a list you can actually trust.

Faq

Is Shopify good for blogging?

We find Shopify to be a reliable platform for e-commerce businesses, but its built-in blogging capabilities are somewhat limited. While it offers basic functionalities, it may not provide the extensive customization, blog search engine optimization (SEO) analysis, or key feature sets that dedicated blogging platforms offer. Hence, a Shopify blog app is often recommended to fill in these gaps and enhance your blogging experience.

Why do I need a Shopify blog app?

A Shopify blog app is not just an add-on; it's an investment in your business, even if you are a pro blogger. Shopify's native blog tool lacks the advanced features that these specialized apps bring to the table, be it in terms of SEO capabilities, design flexibility, or user experience. With the right Shopify blog app, you can significantly better your blog's performance, improve conversion rates, drive more organic traffic and, ultimately, boost sales in a hassle-free way.

Do you have app solutions for SEO?

Yes, we've reviewed several apps that focus intensively on SEO. For instance, Bloggle and DropInBlog come with SEO analyzers and advice to help your blog pages rank better. SEO Blog Optimizer is another app designed to provide SEO-specific guidance. These tools can be essential for anyone serious about organic reach and search engine rankings.

Do you have app solutions for recipes only?

Indeed, we do. We have created a dedicated blog that contains recipe apps for Shopify. Refer tothis page for more details.
