TinySEO (TinyIMG) vs Crush.pics
Two Shopify seo & speed apps compared.
Verdict
TinySEO (TinyIMG) is the cheaper match and Crush.pics is the budget pick. If price is the only question, Crush.pics. If you want the fuller feature set without the leader's bill, TinySEO (TinyIMG).
TinySEO (TinyIMG) (Best Match)
Cheaper alternative to Avada covering the same SEO basics
Free plan · from ~$14/mo
TinySEO started as an image compressor and grew into a full SEO toolkit at half the leader's price. Compression runs server-side, JSON-LD has a toggle to avoid duplicating the theme's, and the AI meta writer is good enough to save an afternoon. The audit and broken-link tools add nothing to the storefront.
Pros
- Same core jobs as Avada for less
- Server-side compression, no storefront script
- Toggle to prevent duplicate structured data
- AI meta titles and descriptions
Cons
- Fewer hand-holding reports than Avada
- AI copy needs a read before publishing
Skip it if: You want a dashboard that tells you what to do next in plain language. Avada's reports are better at that.
Crush.pics (Cheapest)
Dead-simple image compression for faster pages
From ~$4.99/mo
Crush.pics compresses your images, writes alt text and filenames from templates, and keeps a 30-day backup of the originals. That is the whole app, and for most stores image weight is the whole speed problem.
Pros
- Set once and forget
- Lossless and lossy modes
- Alt text and filename templates
- 30-day originals backup
Cons
- Does nothing for meta tags or structured data
- No audit or reporting
Skip it if: Your images are already compressed. Check with PageSpeed Insights first.
