MerchantFlow vs Kiito
Kiito shows which ads make money. MerchantFlow shows what the whole business makes.
Kiito is a new Shopify and WooCommerce analytics tool built around first-party tracking, multi-touch attribution and profit per campaign, ad and keyword, priced on the store revenue it tracks. MerchantFlow is P&L-led: one blended profit number with expenses and CAPEX, Margin by Region, 3PL cost sync, Flow AI, a hosted MCP server and a mobile app, on flat plans from $49/mo.

Use MerchantFlow if
You want a full P&L with expenses and CAPEX amortisation, per-country net profit, Snapchat Ads and 3PL fulfilment costs in the same number, an AI assistant (Pro+), an MCP server for ChatGPT or Claude, a mobile app, and a price set by order volume rather than revenue. Valuation, Viability and funding tracking are on the Plus plan.
Use Kiito if
Your main question is which campaigns, ads and keywords are profitable, you want first-party tracking and multi-touch attribution (with a fingerprinting plugin on WooCommerce), you advertise on X or Reddit, or you want an automatic log of price and budget changes and their impact.

"Recommended" is our own pick, and we are not a neutral party: MerchantFlow is our product. Every competitor cell is drawn from that vendor's published pricing page and Shopify App Store listing on the dates below. Blended P&L means one profit number across every channel: it is not a split of organic against paid revenue, and no row here claims a per-campaign net profit figure for any tool.
Pricing verified from Kiito pricing (kiito.io) (Oct 16, 2026), Metorik pricing page (Oct 4, 2026), Klar pricing page (Oct 4, 2026) and Triple Whale Shopify App Store listing (Oct 4, 2026).
Why merchants switch
What MerchantFlow does that Kiito doesn't
Priced on orders, not on revenue
Kiito prices on the store revenue it tracks: $49/mo up to $20K a month, $299/mo up to $180K and $699/mo up to $500K. MerchantFlow publishes three monthly prices ($49, $89, $149) with 1,000, 5,000 and 25,000 included orders and no per-order overage fees. A store doing $150K a month at a $75 average order (2,000 orders) pays $299/mo on Kiito Scale and $89/mo on MerchantFlow Pro.
A full P&L with CAPEX amortisation
Kiito tracks product, shipping, transaction, refund and fixed monthly costs, and shows how much of your fixed costs the orders cover. MerchantFlow adds one-time and recurring expenses with CAPEX amortisation, bank balance and burn rate. We found no CAPEX amortisation or cash view documented for Kiito.
Margin by Region
See net profit, net margin, POAS and CAC per country with a full cost waterfall. Kiito breaks profit down by product, category, tag, campaign, ad, keyword, traffic channel and UTM, but we found no per-country profit view documented.
Flow AI and a hosted MCP server
MerchantFlow ships Flow AI with CMO, Executive and Finance personas (Pro and above) and a hosted, read-only OAuth MCP server on every plan, so you can query your profit from ChatGPT or Claude. We found neither documented for Kiito.
3PL cost sync, Snapchat Ads and a mobile app
MerchantFlow syncs fulfilment cost natively from Printful, Gooten and CJ Dropshipping, connects Snapchat Ads alongside Meta, Google and TikTok, and ships native iOS and Android apps with every plan. Kiito lists Google, Meta, TikTok, X and Reddit Ads, and we found no 3PL integration or mobile app documented.
Valuation, Viability and an Agency Portal
On the Plus plan, MerchantFlow values your store, scores product viability and tracks revenue-based funding inside your P&L, and agencies get a dedicated portal on a separate Agency plan. Kiito offers agency pricing on request; we found no valuation, viability, funding tracking or agency portal documented.

What MerchantFlow customers say
Reviews from merchants who run their store on MerchantFlow.
MerchantFlow has become one of the most valuable tools in my business. As a tradie building Mech Tools from the ground up, understanding true profitability is critical. MerchantFlow gives me clear, accurate data that helps me make better business decisions.

I've tried quite a few of these profit tracker apps (even tried making one myself), but honestly, none of them offer what MerchantFlow does and the ones that come close cost 10x the monthly price. My favorite feature by far is the integration with my 3PL, so the data I'm seeing is the actual data not a guess.

I've been using MerchantFlow for the last six months in order to better understand my brand's profitability. The tool has without a doubt been super insightful and allowed me to make changes within the business that have nearly doubled our brand's monthly profit. This is the best profit analysis and optimisation tool going around for any ecommerce brand owner right now.

Australia · 6 months using the app
Its super important for me to know my numbers down the the exact percentage and I can trust Merchant Flow to get it right. I've used other softwares in the past but none of them have half of the features this does and always end up not being correct. Highly recommend using it if you're running an ecommerce store.

The honest take
Where Kiito still beats us
We think comparison pages should be honest. Here's where Kiito is genuinely a better fit than MerchantFlow.
- Attribution is built in: first-party visitor tracking and multi-touch attribution that credit each order's revenue across every visit in the customer journey. MerchantFlow reports blended profit and does not offer multi-touch attribution.
- Profit down to the campaign, ad set, ad and keyword, with each order's costs allocated across the visits that led to it. MerchantFlow shows spend and ROAS per campaign, not profit per ad.
- A Change Timeline that logs price, budget and status changes automatically and shows their effect on revenue, profit and margin, plus Trends that flag rising and declining products and ads.
- X and Reddit Ads connected directly (MerchantFlow does not support these today).
- On WooCommerce, a free, open-source Multi-Touch Attribution plugin on wordpress.org, plus an MTA Pro plugin for subscribers that uses device fingerprinting to reconnect visitors across browsers.
- Every tier includes the full feature set and imports up to three years of order and ad history. MerchantFlow sets history by plan: 90 days on Starter, 12 months on Pro and unlimited on Plus.
- A 30-day satisfaction guarantee: Kiito says it will refund your payment if your profit does not increase within 30 days.
Questions merchants ask
MerchantFlow vs Kiito FAQ
What are the best Kiito alternatives in 2026?
The closest alternatives to Kiito for Shopify profit tracking are MerchantFlow, Metorik, Klar and Triple Whale. All of them install from the Shopify App Store. MerchantFlow is our own product, so treat this as our recommendation rather than a neutral verdict: it starts at $49/mo flat with no per-order overage fees, reports one blended profit number across Meta, Google, TikTok and Snapchat, breaks net profit down per country, and supports WooCommerce as well as Shopify. The comparison table on this page puts all five side by side on entry price, blended P&L, per-region P&L and setup, with each vendor's pricing source and the date we last checked it.
How much does Kiito cost?
Kiito's price is based only on the store revenue it tracks each month: Starter $49/mo (up to $20K), Growth $119/mo ($20K-$60K), Scale $299/mo ($60K-$180K), Business $699/mo ($180K-$500K), Advanced $1,199/mo ($500K-$1M), Premier $2,299/mo ($1M-$3M) and Enterprise on request above $3M (per kiito.io, checked 2026-10-16). Every tier has the full feature set, a 14-day free trial and monthly billing through Stripe or Shopify; the Shopify App Store listing bills the same revenue tiers as usage charges. MerchantFlow is $49, $89 or $149/mo with 1,000, 5,000 or 25,000 included orders and no per-order overage fees.
Is MerchantFlow cheaper than Kiito?
It depends on your revenue and order count. Both start at $49/mo. Kiito's price rises with the revenue it tracks: $119/mo above $20K a month, $299/mo above $60K and $699/mo above $180K. MerchantFlow's price follows order volume instead: Starter ($49) includes 1,000 orders a month, Pro ($89) 5,000 and Plus ($149) 25,000, before the 20% annual discount. A store doing $150K a month at a $75 average order is about 2,000 orders: $89/mo on MerchantFlow Pro versus $299/mo on Kiito Scale. A store under $20K a month with more than 1,000 orders (an average order below $20) would need MerchantFlow Pro, so Kiito Starter is cheaper there. Kiito also includes attribution features MerchantFlow does not, so compare the features you will use.
Does MerchantFlow do multi-touch attribution like Kiito?
No. Kiito combines first-party visitor tracking with multi-touch attribution and allocates each order's revenue and costs across the visits that led to it, so it can report profit by campaign, ad and keyword. MerchantFlow is P&L-led: it reports one blended profit number across Meta, Google, TikTok and Snapchat Ads with COGS, fees, shipping and expenses included, and shows spend and ROAS per campaign. If ad-level attribution is your main requirement, Kiito is built for it.
Does Kiito support WooCommerce?
Yes. Kiito supports Shopify and WooCommerce, and offers WooCommerce stores a free, open-source Multi-Touch Attribution plugin plus an MTA Pro plugin for subscribers. MerchantFlow also supports both Shopify and WooCommerce, though some features, such as subscription detection, are Shopify-only.
How long has Kiito been available?
Kiito is built by Online Revenue Oy in Helsinki, and its founder says it launched in summer 2026. Its Shopify App Store listing shows a launch date of August 21, 2026 and had no reviews when we checked on October 16, 2026. Kiito offers a 14-day free trial and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
Does MerchantFlow have a mobile app?
Yes. MerchantFlow has native iOS and Android apps included with every plan, covering net profit, products ranked by profit, order margin and profit by market. We found no Kiito mobile app documented on its site or App Store listing.
Can I try MerchantFlow alongside Kiito?
Yes. Kiito is designed to run alongside your existing tools, and both offer a 14-day free trial, so you can connect the same store to each and compare the numbers before you choose.
