Shogun is designed to scale, GemPages isn’t
While stores can get their start on GemPages—Shogun is the only page builder Shopify Plus certified to support established brands.
ESTABLISHED BRANDS CHOOSE SHOGUN:
Shogun is a category leader
“To put it simple…We couldn’t be able to use Shopify without Shogun! Shogun allows us to make the pages we need and it’s really simple to go back and make quick edits. The support is second to none.”
— Freeasyougo, Shopify App Store
“From the standpoint of a developed business with hundreds of pages and 3 stores, Shogun is great. We can build pages and tailor them to any device and sync pages across all of our stores. Before this I was hand coding front end stuff with CSS and HTML which is a grueling and cumbersome task in comparison. Support is fast and helpful, though we rarely need it…”
— Rugged Radios, Shopify App Store
“I don’t have words to express how this app is helping to grow our business. This app is very helpful in creating [a] brand’s landing page, collection pages, etc.”
— JPC Equestrian, Shopify App Store
Why Shogun is the top choice
A Shopify integration built for page speed
Shogun has a more performant, intelligent integration with Shopify than GemPages.
GemPages integrates with Shopify, but has a bloated approach where every page published creates new template files in the theme. This ultimately hurts your store’s performance.
Clone multi-store content faster than with GemPages
Shogun outperforms GemPages by providing robust content syncing for cloning your work across several stores, unlike GemPages’ limited and manual template transferring process (you can only transfer up to 10 at a time.)
Shogun is designed to grow with your needs, making it the go-to builder for complexity.
Create interactive page elements with custom developer tooling
Beyond drag-and-drop elements, Shogun allows you to create custom elements with variables, offering a unique blend of code and no-code capabilities.
Unlike GemPages, Shogun helps you set automatic safeguards. These help you maintain branding control over custom coded page elements you create for your team.
Unmatched customer support
Shogun is renowned for exceptional customer support, from in-house, Shopify + platform specialists familiar with merchant goals.
Unlike competitors who direct you back to Shopify or require contacting tech partners, with us you’ll often receive personalized video walkthroughs of solutions and answers, Shogun will never leave you asking for more.
Get an artificial intelligence advantage
Shogun’s AI is already a game-changer in page building efficiency. And it’s only getting started.
Our AI Text feature generates copy for headlines, hero banners, and product descriptions, banishing the daunting blank page. Though GemPages has plans to release AI features in the future, they’re not available yet.
Former GemPages customers found success with Shogun

- — Power Tank
“I trial-ed Gempages, Shogun, and Pagefly page builders. Shogun is the one I will continue using. Gempages was frustratingly slow and I didn't even get three days through the trial before uninstalling…. Shogun won out because of the direct support they give with a personal customer success manager. It performs the best and is by far the easiest to use which translates to faster pages. The ability to organize, restructure, and move modules is so much easier than the other two I tried.”

“We are in the process of launching our new website theme, and noticed that a lot of our competitors have Pagefly, and Gemages, but after reviewing more competitors, we noticed Shogun has more features.”

“I've tried Hypervisual, Gempages, and PageFy. Shogun is your best choice for a codeless builder. I lean on Shogun to help build beautiful, responsive pages. Like any builder, it takes a minute to get used to but it pays off! I recently interacted with Shogun’s support team…Their technical team was so quick and helpful! You'll be supported with this platform. Make the right choice—choose Shogun.”
