LiveMeUp

Overview

LiveMeUp is a Shopify-native platform for merchants who want to sell through live video and shoppable clips. It is best suited to boutiques looking to combine those formats with branded mobile apps and Shopify checkout; the trade-off is a paid entry point for its main selling capabilities.

Key features

• Live selling: Product tags and real-time chat let merchants present products and interact with shoppers during a stream, with Shopify-native checkout built into the experience. That makes LiveMeUp a strong fit for stores that want live content to lead directly to purchase.
• Shoppable video: Clickable product tags make recorded video another route to products, rather than limiting video commerce to scheduled events.
• Branded apps: LiveMeUp offers branded iOS and Android apps with live shopping, push notifications and Apple Pay. These features make the platform more compelling to boutiques that want a branded mobile shopping experience, but less relevant to merchants who only need a web storefront.
• Beyond the live session: Replay sales and both storefront modes are supported, giving merchants ways to keep video commerce active outside a live broadcast.

LiveMeUp says more than 1,000 boutiques use its platform and that it has processed over $500 million in GMV. It also reports 20% higher engagement and 10% higher conversions. Those figures describe the company's claims, not results every merchant should expect.

Pricing

LiveMeUp has a free plan, but the core paid entry point is Grow at $89 a month (billed $89/mo). That is the clearest starting fit for a boutique ready to pay for live selling and shoppable video rather than relying on a free tier.

• Free: free. The plan's feature limits are not defined, so merchants should not assume it includes the full paid feature set.
• Grow: $89 a month (billed $89/mo). This is the least expensive paid plan and the natural choice for a store starting with LiveMeUp.
• Scale: $249 a month (billed $249/mo). It costs substantially more than Grow; the plan-specific additions are not described, so the higher price is difficult to assess without a clear need for a higher tier.
• Enterprise: $399 a month (billed from $399/mo). Its from-price signals a starting rate rather than a fixed ceiling, making it the tier to consider for larger requirements only after confirming the final terms.

A free trial is offered.

Platforms

LiveMeUp supports Android, iOS and web. Its branded apps and Apple Pay support make the mobile offering particularly relevant to merchants who want the shopping experience to carry their own identity.

Who it's for

LiveMeUp is aimed at Shopify merchants, particularly boutiques, that want live selling, shoppable video, and branded mobile apps in one commerce-oriented platform. It is less suitable for stores seeking a clearly priced, low-cost paid entry or for merchants who do not need the branded app features.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Live video, clickable product tags, chat and Shopify-native checkout connect content with buying in one flow.
• Pro: Shoppable video and replay sales extend video commerce beyond live events.
• Pro: Branded iOS and Android apps include push notifications and Apple Pay.
• Con: Paid plans start at $89 a month, a meaningful commitment for a small store testing video commerce.
• Con: The feature differences between Free, Grow, Scale and Enterprise are not defined, making it hard to judge which tier fits a store's needs.

Alternatives

For a different price or feature mix, consider these options:

• Videeo is worth comparing if a lower-cost shoppable-video starting plan is important: Popclips Basic is $29.99 a month and includes 15,000 views per month, custom video carousels, and Instagram and TikTok imports.
• Lesuto may suit merchants looking for a freemium option with a defined free allowance, including up to three websites, 1,500 AI credits per month, and 50 integration credits per month.
• Bambuser offers a free plan capped at 250 views per month, two users, one domain or market, and 10 GB of storage; it is a candidate when those limits are enough to start.
• Degpeg has a free plan described as one month free, with web access, 1,000 minutes per month, and two-day recording retention; compare it if those streaming limits suit your needs.
• iimpro is free to install on its Starter plan but charges a 6% commission on order subtotals, an alternative for merchants who prefer no monthly subscription.
• TalkShopLive has a Shopify Basic plan at $0 per month plus usage charges of $0.30 per item sold and 10.25% of order value, which may fit a merchant comparing a no-monthly-fee model.
• buywith is another option to compare for merchants seeking a free installation; additional charges may apply.
• Haggle is another alternative to consider.
• Live Shopping Platforms offers a broader category comparison.

Verdict

Choose LiveMeUp if you are a Shopify boutique that wants live selling, shoppable video, replay sales, and branded mobile apps tied to checkout. Its main advantage is the breadth of video commerce formats in a Shopify-native platform; look elsewhere if you need clearly differentiated plan limits or a lower-cost paid starting point.
