Despite PageFly’s popularity and prowess as a Shopify page builder, it does have few drawbacks. This is why store owners and marketers are looking for a PageFly alternative:
In this post, we'll compare four of the best PageFly alternatives on the market. Starting with our own Shopify app that provides full customization of your blog posts.
Bloggle is a Shopify app developed for building Shopify blog pages. It’s an easy-to-use tool for designing gorgeous blog posts positioned for conversions. However, the software isn’t a full-suite Shopify page builder like PageFly, which has focused on multiple pages such as landing pages, product pages, home pages, etc. Bloggle has only given its full attention to one page - the blog. As a result, users can create SEO-optimized blog posts to attract traffic and embed their products inside their blogs to boost conversions.
So how is Bloggle the best alternative to PageFly?
To get started, sign in to Bloggle, choose a template, and you’ll be directed to the blog post editor, as shown in the image.
Bloggle gives you an endless list of elements on the left side of the page editor for creating your blog posts.
The next step is adding content to your article. Bloggle uses the block editor, which is more efficient and fast. Simply click on a paragraph block and start writing your content on the blog page editor.
You can edit the style to make it bold or in italics. You can also change the text color and style or add links.
There’s also a design and margin feature for customizing the overall appearance of your page. For example, you can adjust the border radius, margins, paddings, and more.
Once satisfied with your settings, click the big “save and close” button and continue adding more content on different blocks. You can change the order of how the content appears by dragging and dropping them on the page editor.
The blog post setting gives you three features: SEO, schedule, and blog post settings. Here’s a breakdown of what each function does.
One more thing about the SEO feature. We know that meta descriptions and ALT tags aren’t enough for SEO. Therefore, we have a very cool SEO feature to help you create the best SEO-optimized pieces for your Shopify blog. The SEO scoring tool is available on the middle right side of the page builder.
To use the scoring tool, add your primary keyword and click “save.” It will detect SEO issues that can cost you valuable SEO performance. However, it gives you suggestions for fixing them.
Bloggle features a list of pre-made blog templates ready for customization. Simply choose one and customize it to your liking using the elements available on the page builder. The templates are beginner-friendly and easy to customize. And if you run into a problem, the support team is always on standby to assist. We also have a resource page with endless articles on making the best use of templates and Bloggle in general. Now, the exciting bit is that you can save your blog post as a template to keep reusing it in the future. This is helpful for users who want to achieve brand consistency with their blog posts.
Bloggle offers a free trial that runs for ten days. You don’t need to provide your credit card. Once the tree trial is over, you will be billed at $25/month. For extra features, you can subscribe to our $49/month pricing.
Shogun is the higher-end PageFly alternative. This means it offers superior features and best suits larger businesses and experienced Shopify users. However, Shogun and PageFly still have similar offerings, such as live chat support to help create your pages in real-time and tens of customizable pre-made templates. They also give you basic SEO controls to create optimized pages for search engines. The only difference comes when you want more premium features.
It’s pretty safe to say this is a unique feature Shogun’s yet to offer. The downside though is that it’s only available on the advanced plan. So keep that in mind. Sync content enables Shopify owners with multiple stores to copy and use the same content without recreating pages from scratch. The type of content it can copy include:
So, for example, if you have an online clothes shop in Italy and want to open another one in Brazil, you don’t have to create everything from scratch.
Simply click the account dropdown under the site manager. Select a page, and it will sync it to your selected store.
Once done, you can customize your new page based on the location, like language, to make it more personalized.
Shogun’s A/B testing tool lets you create two versions of your page to get the version with the most conversion rates.
So let's assume you’re writing landing page copy for your Shopify store. First, write two variations of your copy.
Next, show version A to half of your visitors and version B to the other half. The platform gives you the results after a set duration and automatically publishes the winner as the default landing page copy.
The advantage of the feature is that it gives you room to run multiple tests simultaneously and optimize many pages for conversions.
Shogun offers an extensive list of analytics options that provide insights into your page’s performance. To access the analytics, click the “menu” icon on your dashboard and choose the “analytics” option. Below are the types of analytics.
This is the total traffic a page on your Shopify store receives over a specified time.
Shogun tracks the total amount (in dollars) of orders placed on a page, allowing you to determine the performance of a product page.
The tool shows you a percentage of the number of people who visit your page but don’t move further into the store. A high bounce rate signifies that you need to rework the design or copy of a page to get better performance.
Other analytics include Add to Cart rate, Top Clickthrough destinations, and top outside referrers. However, the analytics are only available on the last two higher-end plans.
Shogun has tiered pricing that spans four plans. As you climb up the ladder, you get more features like the number of pages, number of users, and unique add-ons. Here’s a screenshot of its pricing page.

Zipify is an advanced Shopify page builder for creating product and home pages, sales funnels, and more. However, Zipify is much more affordable than PageFly. Plus, it offers more exclusive features on their lower plans which you’ll only get on PageFly’s high-end plan. For example, you get a full-reporting dashboard on the first paid plan and access to thousands of ready-to-use templates tested on their $100 million Shopify stores.
Zipify page builder has an intuitive drag and drop editor to build your pages more efficiently. The best part?
It doesn’t limit how many pages you create. Hence you can run more sales, test more offers and even sell more products. The tool uses blocks to develop or customize templates. You first choose a template from the vast library. The exciting thing is that these templates come from proven campaigns that generated leads from past users. So you’re assured of getting better conversions.
The next step is customizing the template by dragging and dropping elements into sections and changing text styles and colors.
You can also add popular features, including countdown timers, Opt-in Forms, and Image carousels.
Zipify split testing only works for the landing and product pages. The feature allows you to create one page and duplicate it. You’ll then apply a few changes to the duplicated page and run both for a specified time. Ensure you’ve set the traffic distribution at 50/50%.
To view your split testing results, open the Split Tests section of the Zipify Pages app. You’ll get insights such as the Test Goal (metric), Total Views, Unique Views, and Status) for each page of your tests.
It’s important to note that Zippify doesn’t have an in-built statistics feature. You have to connect it with Google analytics. The good, though, is that you can link more than one GA, a significant upside to users with multiple stores across different regions. Once connected, it automatically loads all accounts, properties, and views from Google Analytics to the dashboard.
There are a whole lot of things you can do on the dashboard. For example, you can build a graph that shows the revenue, conversion rate, sessions, and avg. Order value over a period.
There’s also a feature to compare results for two different time intervals and get detailed statistics for each page.
Zippify offers a 14-day free trial. Once done, you can jump into any of the three paid plans. The “Basic” plan costs $67/month. You get all the features with a guaranteed 250,000 page views. The “Plus“ plan gives you everything from the “Basic” plan with additional features like A/B testing and 500,000 monthly page views. It costs $97/month. The last “enterprise” plan is customized.
