Agentis vs Pricemaster
By Herzel MishelFounder, AgentisLast reviewed
Quick Verdict
Pricemaster is a automated catalogue repricing and competitor price monitoring with list-price margin floors 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
Pricemaster excels at automated catalogue repricing and competitor price monitoring with list-price margin floors. 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.

When to choose Pricemaster
Choose Pricemaster if your core need is automated catalogue repricing against competitors with a minimum-margin guardrail on the prices you publish. Its hourly monitoring, per-band floors, and simulation-plus-rollback workflow make it a solid list-price repricer. It is adjacent to Agentis rather than overlapping: Pricemaster protects the price you set, while Agentis protects the price they actually pay. Pricemaster optimizes and floors list prices up front using stored cost; Agentis enforces the floor at the moment of sale, after discounts resolve, using live COGS, freight, and FX. If stacked promotions and automatic discounts are eroding margin below the list price you carefully set, that gap closes at checkout with Agentis — run both so the shelf price and the transaction price are each protected.
Pricemaster Strengths
- Hourly competitor monitoring across 100+ retailers, so list prices stay responsive to the market
- Iron-Clad minimum-margin protection with per-price-band floors, plus an AI margin optimizer for setting target prices
- Plain-English repricing rules and dynamic tagging make automated pricing approachable without scripting
- Price-change simulations and rollback let teams preview and reverse repricing decisions safely
Honest Assessment
Where Pricemaster falls short for margin protection
- Enforces margin at the list-price layer ahead of time; it is blind to what the customer actually pays after stacked coupons, automatic discounts, or BOGO resolve at checkout
- Prices off stored cost rather than live landed cost — no NetSuite integration, freight zone modeling, or real-time FX adjustment
- No Shopify Plus, checkout, or Functions positioning: it writes list prices through the catalogue API rather than acting at checkout
- A list-price floor is not a checkout floor: a perfectly compliant catalogue price can still ship below margin once discounts stack on the order
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pricemaster the same as Agentis?
No. Pricemaster is a catalogue repricer: it monitors competitors and rewrites list prices, applying minimum-margin floors per price band using your stored cost. Agentis is a checkout-time enforcement layer: it evaluates the final order against live NetSuite COGS, freight, and FX and blocks orders below your profit floor in under 10ms. Pricemaster floors the list price ahead of time; Agentis floors the actual transaction after discounts resolve.
Should I use Pricemaster or Agentis?
Use Pricemaster if you need automated, competitor-aware repricing with a margin guardrail on the prices you publish — that is its strength. Use Agentis if you need to guarantee that the price the customer actually pays, after stacked coupons and automatic discounts, still clears your floor. They protect different things: Pricemaster protects the price you set, Agentis protects the price they pay. Many catalogue-heavy merchants run both.
Does Pricemaster protect margin at checkout?
Not at checkout. Pricemaster enforces a minimum-margin floor on the list price it writes through the catalogue API, using stored cost — it is blind to what happens once a shopper stacks coupons, automatic discounts, or BOGO offers on a specific order. A list-price floor is not a checkout floor. Agentis evaluates the final order economics live and blocks below-floor orders before they confirm.
Can Pricemaster and Agentis work together?
Yes. Pricemaster keeps your published list prices competitive and above a margin floor; Agentis enforces the floor on the actual order at checkout once discounts and FX resolve, using live COGS and freight. Pricemaster protects the shelf price, Agentis protects the transaction — together they close the gap between the price you set and the price they pay.
