Provedly vs Vitals
Vitals replaces a stack of separate Shopify apps with one subscription: reviews, bundles and upsells, recent sales notifications, trust badges, a countdown timer, stock scarcity, visitor replays and more. Its sales notifications are filled from the store's real orders and add-to-carts, and its listing carries the Built for Shopify badge with a 4.9-star rating from about 2,980 reviews. It is sold as one $29.99/mo plan with a 7-day trial and usage fees above a level of Vitals-attributed sales.

What Vitals does well
- One app covers reviews, bundles, upsells, trust badges, sales notifications, a countdown timer, stock scarcity and visitor replays
- Sales notifications come from real store orders and add-to-carts, and Vitals states that no setting makes one up
- Stock scarcity counts are read live from Shopify inventory per variant
- Built for Shopify badge and a 4.9-star rating from about 2,980 reviews, with support frequently praised
- Countdown timer runs to one start and end date for every shopper and is removed when the date passes
Where Provedly differs
- Provedly applies a verified mark only to records that arrived through a signed Stripe, Shopify or WooCommerce webhook and publishes a verification page per widget; Vitals draws notifications from store orders but does not describe a verification mark or a public page.
- Provedly's sales toasts come from webhooks as orders arrive; Vitals collects the latest orders every few hours and says a new order shows within about 6 hours.
- Provedly has a live viewer counter that counts visitors in the last 90 seconds and hides below a minimum; no live visitor counter was found on the Vitals pages reviewed.
- Provedly offers an evergreen per-visitor timer with a hard campaign expiry alongside fixed-date countdowns; Vitals retired its restarting Evergreen timer in August 2026 and now runs one fixed countdown per sale.
- Provedly runs on any site through one script, on WordPress through its plugin and on Shopify through its app; Vitals is a Shopify app.
- Provedly prices by impressions with a 2,000-impression free plan; Vitals is one $29.99/mo plan with usage fees tied to Vitals-attributed sales.
