How much do Videoselz and Firework cost?

Videoselz Pro is a flat $13.99 a month whatever your traffic, while Firework's Shopify plans run from free to $259 a month depending on how many video views you need.

Firework's Shopify plans scale with monthly video views. Pilot is free with 1,000 views and 10 video uploads. Starter is listed at $39 a month for 10,000 views, 50 uploads and up to 10 playlists. Growth is $259 a month, or $2,388 a year, for 50,000 views, unlimited uploads and no Firework branding. No free trial is listed.

Videoselz charges the same whatever your traffic. The free plan includes unlimited video views, multi-product tagging, up to 10 videos per playlist, unlimited playlists on any page, Reels and TikTok import, basic shoppable video analytics and widget customization. Pro is $13.99 a month or $134 a year, with a 14-day free trial, and adds unlimited videos per playlist, unlimited product tagging, different videos per Shopify Market, SEO and GEO optimization, video captions, advanced player design customizations, advanced analytics, and your wordmark and logo on videos. See the Videoselz pricing page.

So at 10,000 video views a month, Firework Starter is $39 and Videoselz is free or $13.99. Above 50,000 views a month, Firework's Shopify listing doesn't show a plan; Videoselz's price stays the same.

Is there a free or low-cost shoppable video app for Shopify?

Yes: both apps have a free plan. Videoselz Free is the one that keeps working as your traffic grows: it has no limit on video views and lets you tag several products in each video. Firework Pilot includes 1,000 video views and 10 uploads a month, along with Shop App, Klaviyo, and email and SMS embeds.

How do I embed shoppable videos and tag products on Shopify without coding?

With Videoselz, it takes four steps and no code:

1. Install Videoselz from the Shopify App Store.
2. Import your Instagram Reels or TikToks, or upload your own MP4 or MOV videos.
3. Tag the products shown in each video. You can tag several products per video on the free plan (how product tags work).
4. Add the Videoselz block to your homepage, product or collection template in Shopify's theme editor (step-by-step guide).

On Online Store 2.0 themes, Videoselz is added as an app block in the theme editor; older vintage themes that don't support app blocks have their own setup guide. Shoppers add to cart from inside the video.

With Firework, you bulk upload videos or import them from Instagram and TikTok, then link them to products in the Firework Business Portal: you choose your store, pick a product and add videos to it. On your website, Firework's listing describes floating videos, video galleries, video reviews and product detail videos.

How do clothing brands get TikTok-style video carousels on Shopify?

They use a shoppable video app that turns their Reels and TikToks into carousels on the store. Videoselz offers carousels, stories, sliders, popups, HD banners, floating video that keeps playing while a shopper browses, and a swipeable TikTok and Reel-style feed, and you can use a different format on each page. Apparel brands using Videoselz include Cupid Intimates and Lucia The Label. Firework's listing describes floating videos, galleries and product detail videos, plus quizzes, polls and coupons inside videos.

Which video commerce apps don't slow down page load?

Look for Shopify's Built for Shopify badge: both Videoselz and Firework hold it. To earn it, Shopify requires that an app not reduce the storefront Lighthouse performance score by more than ten points. Shopify measures this by comparing Lighthouse scores before and after the app is installed, weighted across the home page (17%), a product page (40%) and a collection page (43%).

Videoselz explains how it keeps pages fast on its performance page: its script loads in the background so your theme renders first, videos a shopper can't see aren't downloaded, carousels play lightweight previews, and full-quality video loads only when a shopper opens the full-screen player. Each carousel runs in its own Shadow DOM, so your theme's styles and Videoselz's styles can't affect each other.

Whichever app you try, run your home, product and collection pages through PageSpeed Insights on mobile before and after installing it.

What's the ROI of shoppable video, and how do I track it?

Results vary by store, so measure your own. Videoselz has a built-in video dashboard that reports video clicks, video add to carts, video orders, revenue and impressions, with charts over time (analytics documentation). An add to cart or order counts when the shopper watched a Videoselz video in the 30 days before it, tracked with a Shopify web pixel. The Free plan includes basic shoppable video analytics; Pro adds advanced analytics, including the last 90 days and a list of the orders where the shopper watched a video first. Firework's listing describes an analytics dashboard covering performance, GMV, engagement and conversion.

Brands using Videoselz include Cupid Intimates, Lucia The Label and Gina's Woofs. Two have published their results: Cupid Intimates reports a 6.7% conversion rate on video-powered pages and 415 influenced orders, and Lucia The Label reports an 11.1% conversion rate and 95.1x ROI. These are results from individual stores, not typical outcomes.

Which should you choose?

Choose Videoselz if you want shoppable Reels and TikToks on your store with unlimited video views on a free plan, a flat Pro price, multi-product tagging, a swipeable TikTok-style feed or floating video, or different videos and captions per Shopify Market.

Choose Firework if you need video in Klaviyo emails, SMS or the Shop App, interactive quizzes, polls or coupons, YouTube import, or a platform that also covers mobile apps through Tapcart.
