Confect alternative for Shopify catalog ads: Convinci vs Confect

You want your catalog ads (also called dynamic product ads, or DPA) to look like your brand made them. Confect is one of the best known tools for that. Convinci is a newer, smaller one. They do a lot of the same job, but they suit different stores. If you are after a Confect alternative for a Shopify store, this page is the honest version.

This page sets them side by side. Every claim about Confect comes from its own public pages, and we link each one. We read those pages on September 26, 2026, and checked them again on October 7, 2026. Prices change, so check their site before you buy.

The short answer

Pick Confect if you sell in many markets, want a full design editor, or need video catalog ads now. Its customers include large retail brands, and it works on Meta, TikTok and other channels.

Pick Convinci if you run a Shopify store and Meta is where you spend. Convinci is narrow on purpose. You paste your store link and pick a design. It costs less, has a free plan, and comes with a 50% ROAS lift or money back promise.

What Confect does

Confect's home page says "Design High-Performing Catalog Ads for Meta." It names features for Story and Reels sizes, product level video and video catalog ads. It also says you can use designs in "TikTok, Klaviyo & other channels."

Its how it works page lists four steps:

• Connect your products. Confect says products "will automatically be updated every hour."
• Let its AI remove product backgrounds and adjust size and position.
• Design in a drag and drop editor, or start from premade templates.
• Replace your plain catalog images in Commerce Manager.

The same page lists custom fonts, dynamic product layers from your feed data, and a support team to help with designs.

Confect's home page shows quotes from customers, some with ROAS and sales numbers. Those are their customers' claims, and we do not repeat them here.

What Convinci does

Convinci takes the plain photos in your Shopify catalog and turns them into branded ad cards. Each card can show your store name or logo, the price and a sale badge. The badge shows the real percent off when your product has a compare at price. Cards can also show a star rating, a review count and a lifestyle photo.

There are three designs, A Frame, B Pane and C Four Corners, plus multi image layouts. Setup takes under 2 minutes. You paste your store link, look at your ads and press Publish.

You can try it on your own store in the free preview, with no account and no card.

How each tool reaches Meta

This part is closer than you might think. Both tools use Meta's own feed features, and both keep your catalog.

Confect's Meta setup guide says it depends on your catalog type. For a Shopify catalog, Confect is added "as a Supplementary feed" that overrides the original images. For a data file catalog, you replace the feed URL with Confect's feed URL. The guide also warns against making a new catalog.

Convinci also uses a supplementary feed. It swaps image_link and additional_image_link only. Your campaigns, ad sets, ads, prices and stock are not touched. Delete the data source and Meta goes back to your plain images.

So on learning, the two tools work the same way. Neither edits your ads. Read does changing catalog images reset learning for what Meta says.

If two feeds both set the image, only one can win. Confect's guide has you rank its feed first for the image fields in Meta. So only one tool's images show at a time.

Pricing side by side

These are the plans as we saw them on October 7, 2026, unchanged since September 26. Confect prices come from its pricing page. Convinci prices are on our pricing section.

Note the units. Confect counts products. Convinci counts product photos, and each photo in your feed counts once.

On Convinci Pro, each extra store is $49 a month. The first 100 customers on each plan get a founder price locked for life: Pro $79, Ultimate $299.
