Cogsy vs Bloom
Bloom is a profit analytics app whose cost settings are among the most detailed of the group: dated cost periods, quantity tiers, per-country overrides, a CSV bulk edit and a filter for products with no cost. A cost in Bloom takes priority over Shopify's and stays in Bloom. Cogsy keeps the record and writes it to Shopify, and adds sources and bundles.

Choose Bloom if
- You want a net profit dashboard with ad spend, shipping and fees.
- You want marketing attribution and reports by email or Slack.
- Your cost changes with quantity or delivery country.
- You also sell on Amazon.
Choose Cogsy if
- You want the cost in Shopify to be the one source every tool reads.
- You want each supplier's cost side by side.
- You sell bundles made of other products.
- You want your own cost kinds, each included in or kept out of Shopify's cost.
Using both
Bloom reads the cost per item held in Shopify. Keep that figure right with Cogsy, with the costs you choose rolled into it, and Bloom reports profit on a number you can trace. A cost entered in Bloom takes priority, so leave Bloom's cost empty for products you manage in Cogsy.

How Bloom handles product cost
Bloom pulls each product and variant cost from Shopify automatically and re-syncs when it changes there; a cost entered in Bloom takes priority over the Shopify cost. A Bloom cost can be a fixed cost per unit, a set of dated cost periods (start date, end date, cost per unit, applied by order date), or quantity tiers with Absolute, Incremental or Flat rules, each with an optional per-country override. Costs can be edited one variant at a time, for a selected group (for all orders or future orders only), or through a 'Bulk Edit (CSV)' template in which only the Bloom Cost column is editable. Products with no cost in Shopify or Bloom are highlighted in red and can be filtered with 'Cost missing in Shopify & Bloom'. Handling costs are set separately as a flat cost per order and/or per item, with country-specific rates.

Questions
- Is Cogsy an alternative to Bloom?
- No. Bloom is a profit analytics app and Cogsy has no profit dashboard, ad spend or order reports. Cogsy manages the product cost that a profit app starts from, so the two are used together more often than one replaces the other.
- Can I use Cogsy and Bloom together?
- Bloom reads the cost per item held in Shopify. Keep that figure right with Cogsy, with the costs you choose rolled into it, and Bloom reports profit on a number you can trace. A cost entered in Bloom takes priority, so leave Bloom's cost empty for products you manage in Cogsy.
- How much does Bloom cost?
- Free to install; paid plans from $20 to $80 a month, as shown on its Shopify App Store listing on 8 October 2026. Check the listing for current pricing.
- Does Bloom keep a history of cost changes?
- Yes, in its own way. Bloom's listing or help pages describe costs with dates or a cost history. Cogsy records every cost as a dated row with a source, and a row is never edited or deleted.
