Comparison
Foregrade vs ShopHunter
Short answer: they serve different phases. ShopHunter is for researching which products to launch. Foregrade is for running the shop once you’re selling — returns, profit, buyer risk, and the Shop Performance Score.
Foregrade
For sellers who are already selling
Connects your TikTok Shop via OAuth and runs on your real data — orders, fees, returns, buyer history. Catches every return before the auto-approve deadline, computes your true profit after all twelve-plus fees, and scores every buyer across orders.
Best fit: a shop doing £4k+/mo that wants to stop losing silently to returns and fees.
ShopHunter
For sellers researching what to sell
Scrapes TikTok Shop publicly and estimates competitor sales, product trends, creator performance. Answers “what’s hot right now?” and “how well is X doing?” — before you commit to a SKU.
Best fit: someone picking products, validating a niche, or scouting competitors before launch.
