The short version

  • Only Algopix has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Algopix the demand and competition figures are modelled estimates built from sampled marketplace data rather than numbers the marketplace reports, so they rank candidates usefully but should never be treated as a forecast for one product you are about to buy in quantity.; BackToMe the scope is European consumer law. A merchant selling outside the EU has no use for it.
  • They diverge on capability: Algopix covers Multi-marketplace comparison, BackToMe covers Floating withdrawal button.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 15 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Algopix

  • The demand and competition figures are modelled estimates built from sampled marketplace data rather than numbers the marketplace reports, so they rank candidates usefully but should never be treated as a forecast for one product you are about to buy in quantity.
  • Profitability calculations depend on a stored marketplace fee schedule, and marketplaces revise referral and fulfilment fees regularly, so a margin figure computed against a stale schedule can be optimistic in exactly the categories where margin is thinnest.
  • Marketplace coverage depends on API access that the marketplaces control, so the set of sites and regions a tool like this supports can narrow without notice and the comparison you subscribed for may not be the one you get in a year.
  • It says nothing about supply, so a product that screens as profitable can still be unsourceable, subject to a minimum order you cannot meet, or restricted on the marketplace to approved sellers only, and none of that appears in the analysis.
  • It is a subscription that produces no asset, so unlike a listing tool or a storefront there is nothing left when you cancel, and the ongoing cost has to be justified against the incremental margin of decisions you would otherwise have made by hand.

BackToMe

  • The scope is European consumer law. A merchant selling outside the EU has no use for it.
  • The site and dashboard are French. The customer-facing button covers 24 EU languages, but the merchant side is not multilingual.
  • One price, one feature set. There is no tier for a shop that wants only the archive or only the button.
  • It runs as an injected script on the storefront, so a shop with a strict content security policy has an extra step before the button will render.
  • A young French vendor with no independent review coverage, so there is nothing outside the vendor's own material to corroborate the archive's evidentiary weight.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Algopix: Is this a selling platform?

No. It informs the decision about what to sell. Listing, order management and fulfilment all happen elsewhere.

BackToMe: What does BackToMe cost?

25 euros excluding VAT per month per active store, or 250 euros excluding VAT per year, which works out at two months free. The price does not change with the number of withdrawal requests.

Source
Algopix: How accurate are the demand numbers?

They are estimates inferred from marketplace signals, not marketplace-reported sales. Use them to rank a list, not to forecast a single product's volume.

BackToMe: Which regulation does it address?

EU Directive 2023/2673, which governs the consumer right of withdrawal on distance contracts in e-commerce.

Source
Algopix: What should I check before subscribing?

Which marketplaces and which country sites are covered right now, and whether they are the ones you actually sell on. Coverage is the variable that decides whether the tool is useful to you.

BackToMe: Is there a free trial?

Seven days. A card is required to start it but nothing is charged upfront, and cancelling before day seven costs nothing. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Source
Algopix: Does it account for marketplace fees?

It nets estimated fees and shipping off the sale price, but the fee schedule it uses is only as current as its last update, so verify the fee assumptions for your category before trusting a thin margin.

BackToMe: Are staging and development stores billed?

No. Only activated stores are billed, and the withdrawal button does not display on inactive ones.

Source
BackToMe: What happens to the archive if I cancel?

Cancellation is available at any time with no commitment, premium access runs to the end of the paid period, and the account stays open with archived withdrawals and proofs accessible indefinitely. Reactivation is self-service.

Source
BackToMe: Which e-commerce platforms does it support?

Shopify, WordPress, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, Webflow, WiziShop and Squarespace, plus custom builds through a single line of script. The vendor puts installation at five minutes on any platform.
