Whether you’re new to the market, looking to make a switch, or simply curious about what else is out there, it’s helpful to have at least a high-level understanding of the major solutions available to you.

Here, we break down the key selling points and differences between Lifetimely and BeProfit.

Pricing

At BeProfit, pricing depends on your number of monthly orders and the features you want included in your plan. There is also a penalty if your monthly orders exceed your plan’s limit. Their only plan without a monthly order limit is the Plus plan, which is priced based on gross merchandise value.

Integrations

Metrics and Reporting

P&L metrics, marketing metrics, and dashboards

The standard P&L metrics and reports included in all Lifetimely and BeProfit plans are very similar. Both apps offer a comprehensive P&L dashboard, a product-centered report, and a tab that lists the details of individual orders.

Lifetimely includes a few more metrics on these reports, but the difference is small, and anyone switching from one app to the other would face very little learning curve.

But all Lifetimely plans include a huge range of features that help you build unlimited customized dashboards with your choice of P&L metrics, campaign-level marketing metrics, and advanced reports. You can set goals, establish target safe zones for your metrics, create dashboard for different team roles, and easily share reports with outside stakeholders.

On the other hand, BeProfit has very limited customization options, and marketing metrics are only available on the $150/mo Ultimate plan or custom-priced Plus plan.

LTV and other advanced metrics

Like Lifetimely, BeProfit uses cohort analysis to calculate customer lifetime value (LTV). Their LTV report doesn’t include nearly as many alternative LTV metrics or filtering capabilities as Lifetimely, but it still provides enough options to be an effective tool for customer segmentation and analysis.

Lifetimely’s customer behavior reports are also much more robust and include far more tools for deriving actionable insights from your data.

Some advanced features in Lifetimely that don’t exist in BeProfit:

• Repurchase rate reports for learning the buying habits of repurchasing customers

• Customer product journey maps for planning effective winback campaigns

• Compare cohorts feature for apples-to-apples comparisons of how different customer traits influence LTV

• LTV drivers report for automated insights on the factors underlying your highest and lowest LTV customers

Lifetimely is also the only app to offer month-to-month LTV projections, which we’ll cover below.

Other major features and selling points

Nearly all of BeProfit’s features have equivalents in Lifetimely and other apps. The main exception is their versatility in supporting stores that sell on Wix, Woo, and Amazon. Their AliExpress chrome extension is also unique, and unlike Lifetimely, their Ultimate and Plus plans include a UTM attribution tool that helps you assign credit to the marketing efforts that are most responsible for each of your orders.

Lifetimely has many more differentiators, including several core features that no other competitor can offer. Among these, the highest value-adds are:

• Month-to-month LTV projections: Many apps measure historical LTV, but only Lifetimely gives you AI-generated projections of how much each of your cohorts will continue to spend over time. These LTV projections are the most actionable metrics available for revenue forecasting, financial planning, and customer-centric marketing.

• Industry benchmarks: Our Benchmarks tool shows you how your KPIs stack up versus your competitors by charting your major metrics on a bell curve of other Shopify stores. This helps you set achievable business goals and identify which metrics have the greatest room for improvement. No other app on the market has a comparable tool.

Conclusion - which is best for you?

BeProfit is a good option if you sell on Wix or Woo Commerce. Its chrome extension is also useful if you dropship with AliExpress.

Otherwise, Lifetimely’s plans offer much stronger sets of features than equivalent plans at BeProfit.

Lifetimely offers more comprehensive metrics, far more customization options, the most accurate LTV data in the industry, and several unique industry-defining features.
