Cogsy vs Hextom Bulk Product Edit
Hextom's bulk editor changes almost any field across many products, including cost per item by an amount, a percentage or from the price, and can revert an edit. It treats cost as one more field to overwrite. Cogsy treats cost as a record: each change is dated and kept, with its source.

Choose Cogsy if
- You want a history of what each cost was, not a backup window.

How Hextom Bulk Product Edit handles product cost
The App Store listing itself does not mention cost. Hextom's help center has a dedicated tutorial on editing variant cost per item: the app can add a cost by amount or percentage and can update cost based on the product's price or compare-at price. A separate price tutorial lists options to update price from cost-per-item, and from cost-per-item plus a fixed shipping/handling amount. Cost edits go to Shopify's variant cost per item field; neither tutorial mentions cost history by date, missing-cost filters or margin alerts.
