The Pimberly alternative without the enterprise contract
Pimberly starts at $36,000 a year, billed annually in advance, with its AI sold as an add-on from $7,500. Automated Commerce is billed monthly at a fraction of that, includes AI copy, product photography, and 3D, and syncs Shopify both ways. Pimberly remains a strong fit for enterprises that want a published-price PIM with a built-in DAM and a vendor-led implementation.

Automated Commerce or Pimberly: which fits your team?
Choose Automated Commerce if
- You want a monthly subscription rather than $36,000 or more a year, billed in advance.

- You sell mainly on Shopify and want products, variants, and metafields synced both ways.
- You want to start the same day and test it on your own catalog with a free trial.
- Listings have to stay right after publishing, with channel edits detected and reconciled.
Choose Pimberly if
- You are an enterprise with a large catalog: Pimberly's Regular plan already covers 50,000 SKUs and 20 users.
- You connect many ERPs and platforms, such as SAP, Dynamics 365, NetSuite, or Salesforce Commerce Cloud.
- You want a vendor-led implementation by Pimberly's own team, typically around 12 weeks.
- You want a technical account manager and phone support included with the plan.

Rijk Groeneveld
Founder, Son of John
I use Automated Commerce mainly for creating and managing my product listings, and it has made the whole process a lot easier for me. What I like most is that I can edit products and images in bulk, instead of having to go through every listing one by one. This saves me a lot of time, especially when I need to update titles, descriptions, prices, or product photos across multiple items.

This app is a total game-changer! I can now generate my product images easily while working remotely. The service is excellent, and the team is incredibly helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

We started with Automated Commerce to make managing translations and products easier but the app has so much more to offer. Dedicated agents for Marketplaces for example. The team is really helpful and responds quickly to any questions.
