Intelligems vs Agentis: Price Testing vs Real-Time Margin Enforcement
By Herzel MishelFounder, AgentisLast reviewed
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 is a real-time profit firewall: it pulls live NetSuite COGS, freight, and FX and blocks below-floor orders, MAP violations, and coupon-stacking at checkout in under 10ms. Intelligems discovers the price; Agentis enforces the floor on every order. For most Shopify Plus brands the answer is not either-or — you test to find the price, then enforce to protect every transaction.
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 enforce a live per-order margin floor at the moment of sale
- No NetSuite integration, freight zone modeling, or real-time FX adjustment for true landed cost on each order
- No checkout-time blocking: a winning experiment sets a better price, but a stacked discount on an individual order can still breach margin without Intelligems intervening
- Experiment-driven, not enforcement-driven: results inform pricing decisions rather than guaranteeing every transaction clears a profit floor
Agentis is purpose-built for what Intelligems cannot do: enforcing your profit floor at checkout in real-time. While Intelligems reports on margins after the fact, Agentis evaluates every order against live COGS from NetSuite, freight zone costs, and FX rates (in under 10ms) before the order is confirmed.

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 is an enforcement layer: it evaluates each order against live NetSuite COGS, freight, and FX and blocks orders that fall below your margin floor at checkout in under 10ms. One finds the optimal price; the other guarantees a floor on every individual order.
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 a hard guarantee that no single order ships below your profit floor after discounts, coupons, and FX resolve, use Agentis. Many Shopify Plus brands run both: Intelligems to set the price, Agentis to enforce the floor while testing continues.
Does Intelligems block orders below a margin floor at checkout?
No. Intelligems sets and tests prices; it does not perform real-time, per-order enforcement. A price that won an experiment can still be eroded on an individual order by stacked discounts or FX movement, and Intelligems does not intervene at that moment. Agentis evaluates the final order economics at checkout and blocks below-floor orders before they confirm.
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 enforcement — making sure every order at that price still clears your floor once live COGS, freight, FX, and any stacked discounts are applied. Test to find the price, enforce to protect every order.
