Shopify app comparison

Shopify audit log and product change history apps compared

Facts checked October 28, 2026

Toolbench brings product, collection and discount change history into one app, with before-and-after values. These are free modules: choose any 3 of 12 free tools and keep using them with no time limit.

Shopify keeps no history of product edits, so once a price, description or SEO title changes, the old value is gone. These apps record changes as they happen, or back the store up so you can compare versions.

They differ most in three places: which records they cover beyond products, whether they can undo a change, and how they deal with Shopify's biggest gap. Shopify doesn't tell apps which staff member made most product edits, so every app that names staff has a condition attached, and the table says what it is.

THE TOOLBENCH ADVANTAGE

One job solved. More tools ready when you need them.

You want price, cost, SKU, SEO and image edits logged with before-and-after values across your whole catalog with no product limit, plus collections and discounts, on the free plan. Premium adds orders and customers. It doesn't undo changes, send alerts or export.

Check the fit for your store

It can't undo a change. It shows the exact earlier value so you can copy it back in the Shopify admin.
It doesn't send change alerts or export history to CSV.
It doesn't record metafields or inventory quantity changes.
It can't name the staff member behind most product edits, because Shopify doesn't send that to apps. View History shows who had the product open, on pages where the Tools block is added.
It records from the moment a tool is turned on, with no history from before.

Questions

Can any app show which staff member changed a product in Shopify?

Not for every edit. Shopify doesn't tell apps who made most product field edits, so each app works around it differently: SO and Histora name the staff member for edits made inside their own app or block, Logify asks every staff member to install a Chrome extension, Loggr offers it on its Advanced plan and up, and Toolbench shows who had the product open when it changed.

Which of these apps can undo a product change?

Rewind restores items to a backed-up version, SO reverts on every plan (10 reverts a month on its free plan), and Loggr reverts on its Advanced plan and up. Toolbench and Histora don't revert field edits.

Is there a free product change history app for Shopify?

Toolbench's Product Change History is free with no product limit, as one of any 3 free tools. SO has a free plan for up to 10 products.

What's the difference between a backup app and an audit log?

A backup app saves copies of your store on a schedule so you can restore an item; Rewind backs up daily. An audit log records each edit as it happens, with the old and new value and the time.
