What each app actually claims

Pulled directly from each app's own Shopify App Store listing on 2026-10-28. "Not stated" means the competitor's listing didn't claim it on that date — not that we tested their app and confirmed it's missing.

Common questions

Yes — both are Shopify apps in the dead stock / markdown automation category. StockSweep adds root-cause reasoning (why a product stopped selling, not just that it did), multi-location detection, and transfer-between-location suggestions on top of automated, margin-aware discounting.
Auto MarkDown's listing states a floor-price mechanic: discounts stop at a minimum you set. StockSweep's margin protection works the same way in principle — both apps publicly claim a margin floor as of this writing.
Auto MarkDown's entry paid tier is lower ($9/month vs StockSweep's $19/month Growth tier), and its $19/month Pro tier includes unlimited automation rules. StockSweep's paid tiers add multi-location detection, transfer suggestions, and root-cause reasoning that Auto MarkDown's listing does not claim — whether that's worth the difference depends on whether you sell from more than one location and how much you value knowing *why* a product stalled.
