What you actually get

One report. Every leak, named.

This is a real report shape — built from sample data, but the layout is exactly what downloads as a PDF after you upload your Shopify CSV. No mockups, no staged dashboards. What you see is what prints.

Three SKUs fund the store. Two are quietly losing money on every sale. Cut them or raise the price — the report tells you which.

Why MarginReality

Built by someone who got burned by the others.

We are not the cheapest, the most-funded, or the most-marketed. We are the only one that does one job, once, without taking your data or trapping you in a subscription.

Local-only

Your CSV never touches a server. There is nothing to acquire.

Fair price

$9 once. We priced the job, not the maximum you would tolerate.

Multi-channel

Merge Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, TikTok Shop, WooCommerce in one report. No paid add-ons.

Honest by design

No GMV tiers. No cancel friction. No retention dark patterns.

Your CSV does not leave your browser.

BeProfit was acquired by Viably in 2024. We do not know where your data goes after that. With MarginReality, there is no server to send it to.

Pricing

One price. One report. No traps.

We watched BeProfit charge $720 a year for a dashboard merchants stopped opening. So we priced the actual job. $9 for a complete report, once. Monitoring is optional, fixed-price, and cancellable in one click.

Why $9? We have no servers to run (your CSV stays in your browser), no OAuth infrastructure to maintain, no sales team. $9 covers the report and a fair margin. BeProfit charges $49/mo because their cost structure demands it. Ours does not.

  • No GMV-tier price jumps
  • No 'still billed after cancel'
  • No Shopify Billing lock-in
  • No enterprise tier, ever

BeProfit pricing reflects their published plans; cloud-processing and subscription model are stated on their site. MarginReality keeps data in-browser and charges once.

Who this is for

Built for sellers the other tools left behind.

Not for enterprises with analytics teams. For the operator doing $10k to $500k a month who needs the real number — once, cheaply, without handing over their data.

The over-biller

Paying $49–$299 a month for a dashboard you stopped opening.

You signed up for BeProfit or Triple Whale to see real profit. Six months later it is auto-charging your card and you still don't trust the number it shows.

One $9 report. No subscription, no volume tiers, no retention friction.

The multi-channel seller

Selling on Shopify, Amazon, and Etsy — profit lives across all three.

Each platform reports its own top line. None reconciles against your ad spend, refunds, and shipping. You are running three blind stores.

Merge all five channels into one report. See blended profit, not per-channel vanity metrics.

The privacy-cautious

Heard about Viably acquiring BeProfit — unsure where your data went.

Uploading your full order history to a third-party server felt wrong in 2023. After the acquisition, it feels worse. You want the answer without the handover.

Your CSV never leaves the browser. 0 bytes uploaded. Verify it in DevTools before you pay.

Your revenue tells one story.
Your numbers tell the real one.

Shopify gives you the top line. The real story hides in refunds, fees, shipping, and the gap between gross and net. We surface all of it.

See where revenue leaks

Upload your Shopify Orders CSV. We break down every dollar: payment fees, refunds, shipping, COGS. What is left is what you actually keep.

Refund true cost

A refund costs more than the product price — lost fees, shipping both ways, restocking.

Every fee, surfaced

Payment processing, transaction fees, app subscriptions — see the full cost stack.

Stack your margins against your industry

Is a 12% net margin good for jewelry? Bad for supplements? Benchmark data across 20 industries tells you what “good” actually means for your niche.

Shipping margin

Free shipping is not free. See what it really costs you per order.

Stays in your browser

Your CSV never touches our server. Pure client-side processing. No account needed.

The survival numbers

The numbers that decide if your store survives.

Real benchmark data from 20 e-commerce industries. This is what separates stores that grow from stores that quietly bleed margin.
