Search and merchandising

Sellarix vs Klevu

Klevu is a capable search and merchandising product with genuine cross-platform history, which is rarer than it should be. The thing most comparisons miss is that it no longer exists as an independent company, and the pricing is modular in a way that adds up faster than people expect.

01 / Credit

What Klevu does better

Every vendor comparison on the internet claims the vendor wins on everything, which is why nobody believes any of them. Here is where Klevu is genuinely stronger.

  • Mature merchandising controls

    Pin, boost, bury, synonyms, curation, badging. The daily tools a merchandiser actually uses, refined over years.

  • Genuinely cross-platform

    Historically strong outside Shopify, including Magento and BigCommerce. Unlike most of this category, that is not a marketing claim.

  • Established customer base

    Real deployments at scale, with references you can talk to. We have none yet, and we are not going to pretend we do.

02 / Difference

Where we differ

  • Klevu and Searchspring merged into Athos Commerce

    Announced January 2025, backed by PSG. The two products still sell separately with separate contracts and separate integrations, which makes it harder to work out what you are actually buying and from whom.

  • The modules price separately

    On the Shopify listing: Site Search $649 a month, Category Merchandising $549, Recommendations $449. All three is $1,647 a month. That is a fair price for what it does, and it is worth having the total in front of you before you compare it to a single-price platform.

  • Search and merchandising is where it stops

    No customer service, no media generation, no fraud, no returns, no forecasting. If you want those you are buying them separately, from vendors that cannot see each other's data.

04 / Fit

Which one you should actually pick

Choose Klevu if

Search and merchandising is all you need, you want proven references, and you would rather buy from an established vendor than a new one.

Choose Sellarix if

You want more than discovery, you would rather one bill than three modules, or the total for full coverage has pushed past what you want to spend on search alone.
