I want to flag something before the verdict: this is one of the weaker-sourced pairings in this whole project. Modash publishes its pricing on its own site, so that number is solid. Heepsy blocks direct access to its pricing page, so its numbers here come from third-party listings on Capterra and G2, not from Heepsy itself. Within what's actually knowable, Heepsy looks cheaper at roughly $89/mo against Modash's published $199/mo Essentials tier, but treat that $89 as directional, not precise. If you want a number you can act on today without further checking, Modash's $199/mo is the safer starting point even though it costs more on paper. If budget is genuinely tight, Heepsy is worth confirming directly before assuming that lower figure holds.
What each actually charges
Verified 2026-08-19 for Modash. Heepsy figures are third-party sourced, treat as approximate.
| Modash | Heepsy | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry tier | Essentials $199/mo | Starter ~$89/mo (third-party sourced) |
| Mid tier | Performance $499/mo | Plus ~$249/mo (third-party sourced) |
| Top tier | Enterprise from $14,700/yr | Advanced ~$369/mo (third-party sourced) |
| Pricing structure | Usage-capped: opened profiles, creator emails accessed, tracked creators | Unknown structure, not independently confirmed |
| Source confidence | High, vendor-published | Low, third-party listings only |
Modash's pricing page states these tiers directly, no login wall, no sales call to see the number. Heepsy doesn't let you view pricing without going through its signup flow, so I'm relying on Capterra and G2 listings for the figures above, and I'd rather say that outright than present them with false confidence. Heepsy is also known for a 30%-off "forever" discount applied at signup, which means the number most people actually end up paying isn't even the advertised figure, it's lower, and by how much depends on whatever promotion is live when someone signs up. That's another reason to treat the ~$89/mo figure as a starting point for your own check, not a final answer.
Why this pairing is weaker than most in this batch
Most of the comparisons in this research pull from each vendor's own pricing page or a documented gated position stated on the vendor's own site. This one doesn't have that on both sides. Modash even runs its own dedicated comparison content against a different competitor (GRIN), which tells you Modash treats certain rivals as worth a full page. Heepsy doesn't get that treatment from Modash: it shows up only inside a blog-post list of alternatives, a lighter mention than a dedicated compare page. Combined with Heepsy's own pricing being unreachable directly, that makes this a pairing where I'd genuinely encourage a reader to verify Heepsy's current number directly with Heepsy before treating either side of this table as final.
What each is actually built for
Modash is a discovery engine, built around searching and vetting a large creator database by audience demographics, engagement rate, follower growth, and brand affinity. Its usage-capped pricing (paying against how many profiles you open, how many creator emails you access, and how many creators you track) means the headline number isn't necessarily what you'll pay at real volume. A brand running continuous outreach can hit the Essentials tier's caps within weeks and end up closer to Performance in practice.
Heepsy is also a discovery and audience-analysis tool, similar in core function to Modash: search a creator database, filter by follower count and engagement, build a shortlist. The two products are closer competitors on function than Modash and GRIN are, which makes the price gap more directly relevant here than in some of this project's other pairings, even accounting for the sourcing gap on Heepsy's side.
The buyer split, to the extent it exists, comes down to database depth versus budget certainty. A brand that's used Modash's search and found it strong enough to justify $199/mo with usage caps has a known, vendor-confirmed cost. A brand testing the discovery-tool category on a tighter budget might find Heepsy's lower advertised tiers appealing, but should confirm the real number directly with Heepsy first rather than budgeting off a third-party estimate.
What Modash doesn't do, and what its own users say about the caps
Modash has no Shopify App Store listing at all as of 2026-08-19, so there's no public body of Shopify-merchant reviews to check against, unlike most of the other tools in this series. What does exist is a real, structural gap worth naming: Modash is search and vetting only. It doesn't create Shopify orders, doesn't collect a creator's shipping address, and doesn't check live inventory. Once you've found someone worth gifting to, you're back to manually emailing them, waiting for an address, and typing that address into Shopify yourself. That's true of Heepsy too, discovery tools in this category generally stop at the shortlist.
On the usage-cap side specifically, G2 reviewers have reported hitting Modash's profile-open and email-access limits mid-month on the Essentials plan and getting pushed toward the $499/mo Performance tier well before the billing cycle resets, which matches the caps-based pricing structure in the table above rather than contradicting it. Scraped-data quality is a separate, related complaint: some of those emails bounce, since the underlying profile data comes from social scraping rather than creator-confirmed contact details. None of that changes the verdict here (Modash's price is still the one you can verify today), but it's a real cost of using a usage-capped tool at real volume, worth budgeting for beyond the sticker price.
Who should not pick Modash
If your program is small enough that Modash's usage caps, opened profiles, creator emails accessed, tracked creators, would go mostly unused, the $199/mo Essentials tier is more than the job requires. A brand doing occasional, small-batch creator searches rather than continuous outreach may find a cheaper, lighter tool (Heepsy's lower tiers, if their real price holds close to the third-party figures here) does the same job for less. Verify Heepsy's actual number before committing, since it's the side of this comparison we couldn't confirm directly.
The honest bottom line on sourcing
I'd rather under-claim here than over-claim. Modash's $199/$499/mo and Enterprise-from-$14,700/yr figures are solid, vendor-published, dated 2026-08-19. Heepsy's ~$89/$249/$369 figures are a reasonable approximation built from third-party listings, not a confirmed price, and the 30%-off signup discount means even that approximation likely overstates what a real signup pays. If this decision matters to your budget, get Heepsy's current number directly before treating this table as final on that side.
How I'd actually verify this myself
If I were choosing between these two for my own program, I wouldn't stop at this table. I'd sign up for Heepsy's free trial or demo, whichever is on offer, and get the real current price quoted to my own account, including whatever the live signup discount happens to be that week. Third-party listings on review sites lag behind actual pricing changes, sometimes by months, and a 30%-off "forever" promotion muddies the comparison further because it means the number a review site captured may not even be the number a new signup sees today. Modash's own pricing page doesn't have that problem: what's published is what you'd be quoted right now, no promotion needed to get there.
That gap in verification effort is itself part of the decision. Modash costs more on its face, $199/mo against roughly $89/mo, but it costs zero extra minutes to confirm. Heepsy might genuinely be cheaper, or the real discounted price might land closer to Modash's than the third-party figure suggests, and the only way to know is to go check directly. For a decision this size, that ten-minute check is worth doing before committing either way.
Where Seed fits
Neither Modash nor Heepsy does what Seed does. Both are discovery tools: they help you find and vet creators, not manage the actual product-gifting step once you've decided who to send something to. Seed is a Shopify app built for that specific job: one branded link, a creator picks a product and variant, types their address, and a real $0 Shopify draft order lands in your admin, gated behind human approval before anything ships.
If you're using Modash or Heepsy to build a creator shortlist, Seed is what handles the gifting mechanic once outreach turns into a real send, without anyone hand-typing an address into Shopify. Seed can run embedded on your own domain instead of a third-party link, tracks what happens after delivery straight from Shopify's own webhooks on a Kanban board, and scales from a Free plan (5 orders, 1 campaign) through Scale Gifts (unlimited orders, $49/mo or $499/yr) up to a $299/mo Concierge tier where we run the outreach and gifting program for you, the same mechanism hiccpet runs 19 gifts a week on. See pricing or find it on the Shopify App Store.
Frequently asked questions
Is Modash or Heepsy cheaper?
Heepsy looks cheaper at roughly $89/mo against Modash's published $199/mo Essentials tier, but Heepsy's figure is third-party sourced and directional. Modash's price is vendor-published and confirmed today; Heepsy's needs direct verification.
Why is this comparison weaker-sourced than most?
Modash publishes pricing directly on its own site, high confidence. Heepsy blocks direct access to its pricing page, so its numbers come from Capterra and G2 listings, not from Heepsy itself, low confidence.
Do Modash or Heepsy create Shopify orders?
Neither. Both are search-and-vetting tools only. Once you've found someone worth gifting to, you're back to manually emailing them, waiting for an address, and typing it into Shopify yourself.
Does Modash's usage cap create hidden costs?
Yes. G2 reviewers report hitting profile-open and email-access limits mid-month on Essentials and getting pushed toward the $499/mo Performance tier before the billing cycle resets.
How does Seed fit alongside Modash or Heepsy?
Neither Modash nor Heepsy handles gifting. Seed is the mechanic once outreach turns into a real send: a branded link, product and variant selection, address collection, and a real $0 Shopify draft order gated behind approval.
