Intelligems vs Agentis: Price Testing vs Per-Order Margin Enforcement
Comparing Intelligems and Agentis? They sit at two different points in the pricing lifecycle. Intelligems is a profit-focused A/B testing platform: it runs statistical experiments on price, shipping thresholds, and content to find the variant that maximizes Profit Per Visitor over days or weeks, using estimated or uploaded COGS. Agentis works on each real order: within 60 seconds of each order being placed, Agentis computes its true net margin from live NetSuite COGS, freight, fees, and FX, then flags the order or holds it before fulfillment under rules you approve. Intelligems discovers the price; Agentis catches the individual orders that still end up below your floor. For most Shopify Plus brands the answer is not either-or: you test to find the price, then check every order before it ships.

Why Merchants Look for Intelligems Alternatives
Intelligems focuses on price a/b testing, shipping-threshold experiments, and conversion-rate optimization. That works well for dtc and shopify plus brands running structured pricing and cro experiments to maximize profit per visitor, but it leaves gaps that matter for high-volume Shopify Plus operations:
- Optimizes price over days or weeks using estimated or uploaded COGS; it does not check each individual order's margin after the sale
- No NetSuite integration, freight zone modeling, or real-time FX adjustment for true landed cost on each order
- No per-order margin check: a winning experiment sets a better price, but a stacked discount on an individual order can still breach margin without Intelligems flagging it
- Experiment-driven, not enforcement-driven: results inform pricing decisions rather than guaranteeing every transaction clears a profit floor
Agentis covers a job Intelligems is not built for: checking each real order's true net margin after it is placed and before it ships. Within 60 seconds of every order, Agentis computes net margin from live NetSuite COGS, freight, fees, and FX, then flags the order or holds it before fulfillment under rules you approve, and logs the decision to an Evidence Ledger. It is often used alongside Intelligems, not instead of it.
Other Intelligems Alternatives to Consider
Depending on your primary need, these tools may also be relevant alternatives to Intelligems. None of them computes true net margin on each order and holds the below-margin ones before fulfillment, which is the gap Agentis fills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Intelligems the same as Agentis?
No. Intelligems is an experimentation platform: it runs A/B tests on price, shipping rates, and content to discover the variant that maximizes Profit Per Visitor, using estimated or uploaded COGS over a test window. Agentis checks individual orders: after each order is placed, it computes true net margin from live NetSuite COGS, freight, fees, and FX within 60 seconds, and flags or holds orders below your margin floor before fulfillment. One finds the optimal price; the other catches the individual orders that end up below the floor anyway. Intelligems also tests shipping rates and free-shipping thresholds, content and landing-page variants, and targeted discounts, and higher tiers add subscription-price and multi-currency testing. Its limitations are that it has no NetSuite integration, freight zone modeling, or real-time FX adjustment, and no per-order margin check, so a stacked discount on an individual order can still breach margin without Intelligems flagging it. The clean division is test to find the price, check every order before it ships.
Should I use Intelligems or Agentis?
It depends on the problem. If you want to know which price, shipping threshold, or landing page produces the most profit per visitor, use Intelligems; it is purpose-built for that and its PPV metric keeps experiments margin-aware. If you need to catch individual orders that ship below your profit floor after discounts, coupons, and FX resolve, use Agentis. Many Shopify Plus brands could reasonably run both: Intelligems to set the price, Agentis to check each order while testing continues. The choice is not really either-or, because the tools operate at different points: Intelligems over a test window of days or weeks, Agentis on each order after it is placed and before it ships. Intelligems delivers price variants on Shopify Plus via checkout scripts, so experiments run on the real checkout, but a winning price does not stop a stacked discount from eroding an individual order.
Does Intelligems hold orders that fall below a margin floor?
No. Intelligems sets and tests prices; it does not check or hold individual orders. A price that won an experiment can still be eroded on an individual order by stacked discounts or FX movement, and Intelligems does not act on that order. Agentis computes each order's final economics within 60 seconds of it being placed and flags or holds below-floor orders before fulfillment. This is expected given how Intelligems works: it optimizes price over days or weeks using estimated or uploaded COGS, and it has no NetSuite integration, freight zone modeling, or real-time FX adjustment for true landed cost on each order. Results inform pricing decisions rather than guaranteeing every order clears a profit floor. Higher tiers add subscription-price and multi-currency testing, which widens what you can test but does not change that gap. Treat the experiment result as the strategy and ask separately what checks each individual order between experiments.
Can Intelligems and Agentis work together?
Yes, and they pair cleanly. Intelligems owns price discovery: experimenting to find the most profitable price and shipping configuration. Agentis owns the per-order check: making sure each order at that price still clears your floor once live COGS, freight, fees, FX, and any stacked discounts are counted, and flagging or holding it before it ships if not. Intelligems is experiment-driven and uses Profit Per Visitor as its headline metric, so its results are already margin-aware at the aggregate level. Agentis works from live NetSuite COGS, freight, fees, and FX at the individual order level. Neither replaces the other: Intelligems has no per-order margin check, and Agentis does not run statistical price experiments. Decide which price to charge with Intelligems and let Agentis watch every order while testing continues.
