Agentis vs Lifetimely
By Herzel MishelFounder, AgentisLast reviewed
Quick Verdict
Lifetimely is a customer lifetime value analytics and cohort-based profit tracking tool. Agentis is the only platform that enforces profit floors in real-time at Shopify Plus checkout — evaluating live COGS, freight zones, and FX rates in under 10ms before an order is confirmed. They solve fundamentally different problems.
The Core Difference
Lifetimely excels at customer lifetime value analytics and cohort-based profit tracking. It gives you visibility into what happened after orders are placed, helping you understand trends and make better decisions over time.
Agentis operates at a different layer entirely. Every checkout on your Shopify Plus store is evaluated against your live profit floor — pulling real COGS from NetSuite, applying freight zone costs, and adjusting for live FX rates — in under 10ms. Orders that fall below your margin threshold are blocked or modified before they're confirmed.
The result: you stop losing money on every unprofitable order, not just understand that you lost it.
