Mantle is shutting down · access ends September 30, 2026

Mantle is shutting down on September 30, 2026. Your metrics need a new home.

AppVitals rebuilds your metrics from raw Shopify Partner API data, so switching costs you nothing historically: MRR, churn, retention and LTV reconstructed from your full event history, plus Slack alerts, App Store rank tracking and GA4 listing traffic.

Free while your apps are under $1,000/mo MRR, no credit card required. Paid plans start with a 14-day free trial.

Migration is a reconnect
Same MRR, churn and retention, rebuilt from Shopify's own data

Sept 30, 2026Mantle announced its wind-down on June 16, 2026, shortly after Shopify released native App Pricing in May 2026. Accounts without Mantle Billing lost access on August 14, 2026; accounts on Mantle Billing keep access until September 30, 2026. Source
01Feature mapEverything you relied on

Everything you relied on, still in one place

If you used Mantle for a metric, there is a place for it here. Every number below is computed from Shopify's own Partner API data or your listing's GA4 export.

MRR, ARR & revenue analytics

MRR and ARR with movement split into new, expansion, contraction, churned and reactivated, plus gross and net revenue and payouts in real payout windows.

Churn, retention & LTV

Logo, subscription and revenue churn, cohort retention triangles by first-subscription month, ARPU and predicted LTV.

Slack notifications & daily digests

Rule-based alerts on installs, uninstalls, subscriptions, upgrades, downgrades and churn, plus a per-app daily report with day-over-day change.

App Store rank & keyword tracking

Category leaderboards and keyword positions crawled daily, with rating and review tracking and the Built for Shopify badge.

Listing traffic via GA4 + BigQuery

Your listing's GA4 BigQuery export joined to real subscription outcomes: views, Add-app clicks, installs, trials and paying subscribers per source.

Team seats & multi-app workspaces

Unlimited apps and team seats on every plan, with each organization's data kept isolated. Nothing is priced per seat or per app.

02Module mapShipped features only

Where each Mantle module goes

An honest map, shipped features only. Four Mantle modules land in AppVitals as equals, two go deeper here than Mantle took them, billing moves to Shopify itself, and uptime monitoring is new.

ModuleWhere it goes now
AnalyticsIn AppVitals. MRR, ARR, churn, retention and LTV reconstructed as of any date from raw Partner API events, not from snapshots, so your full history is there after the first sync.
Billing & plansUse Shopify App Pricing. Shopify now runs plans, trials and usage billing natively. AppVitals deliberately does not rebuild a billing engine; it reads the outcomes from the Partner API.
NotificationsIn AppVitals. Rule-based Slack and email alerts on installs, uninstalls, subscriptions and churn, plus a per-app daily report with day-over-day change.
Customer dataIn AppVitals. Store contacts with tags and saved segments, built from your install and subscription history.
Usage & custom eventsIn AppVitals. Send events through the ingest API or the @appvitals/client npm package, explore them Mixpanel-style and meter per-plan allowances.
App Store rank & keywordsDeeper in AppVitals. Mantle showed basic listing stats. AppVitals crawls the whole store daily: category and keyword positions with history, multi-locale keyword tracking, rating, review and Built for Shopify badge changes.
Uptime monitoringNot in Mantle. Minute-level HTTP checks on your app routes, with latency history and incident alerts through your notification rules.
Listing trafficDeeper in AppVitals. Mantle covered listing traffic in a limited form. AppVitals joins your listing's GA4 BigQuery export to real subscription outcomes per source, with drill-downs and trends.
03MigrationNo export, no import

Migrating from Mantle

Four moves before September 30, and none of them involves exporting anything from Mantle.

01

Connect the Partner API

Create a workspace, then connect a Partner API client with the View financials and Manage apps permissions. Your history reconstructs from raw Shopify events, so there is no Mantle export to run before the deadline.

02

Move billing to Shopify App Pricing

Shopify now handles plans, trials and usage billing natively, so a separate billing engine is no longer needed. Define your plans in the Partner Dashboard and the results flow into your AppVitals metrics automatically.

03

Recreate your notifications

Rebuild your Mantle alerts as Slack and email rules on installs, uninstalls, subscriptions, upgrades, downgrades and churn, then turn on the per-app daily report.

04

Point custom events at AppVitals

Swap the Mantle usage SDK for the AppVitals ingest API or the @appvitals/client npm package. Events land in the explorer and can meter per-plan allowances.

04FAQQuestions from teams switching
Q1Can I import my data from Mantle?
There is nothing to import. AppVitals rebuilds your metrics from the raw Shopify Partner API event and transaction history, so your full MRR, churn and retention history appears after the first sync. Data that lived only inside Mantle, such as store-specific notes or custom fields, is not carried over.
Q2How long does setup take?
About ten minutes: create a workspace, create a Partner API client in the Shopify Partner Dashboard, connect it and run the first sync. The first import covers your full history, so it can take a few minutes for large apps.
Q3What does it cost?
AppVitals is free while your apps are under $1,000/mo MRR. Above that, usage-based brackets start at $15/mo, priced only by your apps' MRR, with every feature on every tier.
Q4Does it cover App Store rankings and keywords?
Yes. AppVitals crawls the public Shopify App Store and tracks category leaderboards, keyword positions, ratings, reviews and the Built for Shopify badge for the apps you follow.
Q5Mantle handled my billing. What replaces it?
Shopify App Pricing, the native billing Shopify released in May 2026, replaces Mantle Billing: plans, trials and usage-based charges are defined in the Partner Dashboard and billed by Shopify itself. AppVitals deliberately does not build a billing engine; it reads the resulting subscriptions and payouts from the Partner API.
Q6Is AppVitals affiliated with Mantle?
No. AppVitals is an independent product. Mantle is a trademark of its owner; AppVitals is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Mantle or heymantle.com. Mantle is referenced only so teams migrating from it can compare features.

Mantle and HeyMantle are trademarks of their respective owner. AppVitals is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Mantle. References are for comparison only.
