Short answer: CartSpy is an alternative to Cart Whisper for Shopify stores that want to see every cart live, keep every abandoned cart with its products and get a daily email about yesterday's carts. Cart Whisper is the better pick if you want exit-intent popups, cart widgets or to turn carts into draft orders, which CartSpy does not do.

"Not listed" means the feature is not on Cart Whisper's App Store listing; it may exist elsewhere in the app.
If you want the app to act on a leaving shopper, with an exit-intent popup or a cart widget, or your support team converts carts into draft orders for customers, Cart Whisper does those jobs and CartSpy does not. Its B2B view with company names also suits wholesale stores.
CartSpy is built to be kept open: a compact live view of every add to cart, checkout and order, shopper by shopper, and a short email each morning with yesterday's carts, checkouts, orders, the abandoned carts and what is worth fixing. It ranks products by adds to cart against orders and traffic sources by the carts and orders they bring. More in live cart tracking and the best live cart apps for Shopify. The listing: CartSpy on the Shopify App Store (apps.shopify.com/cartspy).
CartSpy is an alternative to Cart Whisper for Shopify stores that want to watch every cart live and get a daily email about yesterday's carts, checkouts and orders. Both apps show live carts; Cart Whisper adds exit-intent popups, cart widgets and draft orders, which CartSpy does not.
Both start at $9.99 a month. Cart Whisper's Business plan lists 500 carts a month and 14 days of cart history (read 16 October 2026). CartSpy's Essential plan is $9.99 a month, Advanced $19.99 and Pro $39.99, each with a 7-day free trial.
No. CartSpy does not show popups or send recovery emails. It keeps every abandoned cart with its products, the stage the shopper reached and where they came from, and exports the contacts shoppers left for your email tool.
Shopify's own admin lists only abandoned checkouts. CartSpy keeps every cart, including the ones left before checkout, with the products still in it. Cart Whisper's listing also says it tracks every cart.
Install, and the live view fills as soon as someone adds to their cart. 7-day free trial, cancel any time.
