Why Stores Look for an Alternative
Octane AI has been on the Shopify App Store since March 2018 and holds a 4.7 rating from 208 reviews. Its listing shows pricing from $50 a month with a free trial, and higher plans at $200 and $500. It does not list a free plan.
It works with Klaviyo, Attentive, Postscript, Recharge and Gorgias. That is a strength for a store that already runs those tools, and it also means the follow-up emails are built and sent somewhere else.
Stores usually look elsewhere for one of three reasons: they want to start free, they want a lower entry price, or they do not want to run a separate email platform to follow up on a quiz.
Prices, ratings and integrations below come from each app's Shopify App Store listing, read on 13 October 2026. Listings change, so confirm them before you install. We make AISalesQ, one of the apps below.
RevenueHunt
RevenueHunt is the most-reviewed of the alternatives, with a 4.9 rating from 463 reviews. It has a free plan, and its listing shows paid plans at $39, $99 and $199 a month.
It lists Klaviyo, Omnisend, Zapier and Shopify Flow as integrations. Choose it if you want a proven builder, a free start, and you already send email from another platform.
Quiz Kit
Quiz Kit, made by Presidio, has a 4.8 rating from 177 reviews. It has a free plan and its listing shows a paid plan at $59 a month.
It lists Klaviyo, Omnisend, Attentive, Recharge and Shopify Flow. Choose it if you want a wide set of integrations close to Octane AI's, with a free plan to begin on.
Lantern
Lantern has a 4.9 rating from 129 reviews. It has a free plan, with paid plans on its listing at $39 and $499 a month.
It lists Klaviyo, Rebuy, Recharge and Zapier. Choose it if you are a smaller store that wants a light setup.
Recomma
Recomma launched in July 2024 and has a 4.8 rating from 92 reviews. It has a free plan, and paid plans at $15, $29 and $99 a month, which makes it the lowest paid entry price in this group.
It lists Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend and ActiveCampaign. Choose it if price is the first concern.
AISalesQ
AISalesQ is ours, and it is new: it launched in September 2026 and has no reviews yet. It puts the quiz builder, the follow-up emails and revenue attribution in one app, so answer-based emails do not need a separate email platform.
It has a free plan with one quiz. Paid plans are $29, $79 and $199 a month, with revenue attribution from the $79 Growth plan. It syncs new subscribers to a Klaviyo or Mailchimp list if you want them there too. See pricing.
Choose it if the reason you are leaving Octane AI is the cost of running a quiz app and an email platform side by side, and you are comfortable with a new app.
How to Choose
If your email and SMS already run in Klaviyo, Attentive or Postscript and you are happy there, pick on price and reviews: RevenueHunt, Quiz Kit and Lantern all connect to Klaviyo and all start free.
If you want the follow-up to depend on quiz answers without building flows in another tool, look at what the quiz app sends itself.
Whichever you choose, ask how you will know the quiz pays for itself. Our comparison of Shopify quiz apps covers all of these side by side.
Moving From Octane AI
Quizzes do not transfer between apps, so plan to rebuild. Write down each question, its answers and the products each answer leads to before you cancel.
Build and test the new quiz first, then swap it in the theme editor, and only then remove the old app. Check that any Klaviyo flow triggered by the old quiz has a new trigger. How to add a quiz to your Shopify store covers the placement steps.
