What does Hesio cost?
Observation is $0 and stays $0 - 1,000 sessions a month, the four patterns and a weekly report. Insight is $19 a month and adds product signals, emailed PDF reports and previews in your theme. Assist is $49 and is the only level where anything reaches a shopper. Both paid plans start with a 14-day free trial. You change level inside Shopify, and nothing upgrades itself.
Will it slow down my store?
No. Hesio runs through Shopify’s Web Pixels API in a sandboxed worker, outside your theme. No theme code edits and no render-blocking scripts.
Does Hesio change what my shoppers see?
Not during observation. Assistance cards exist only as previews in your own admin. Nothing reaches a shopper until you review the text, approve it and start a controlled test.
What data do you actually store?
Pseudonymous visitor IDs scoped to your store, plus the page and event types a session touched. No emails, names, addresses, IP identifiers or search text. URL queries and checkout paths are redacted before they reach us.
Why is observation free?
Because telling you what happened is the part we are most confident about, and the part that costs us least. You should not pay to find out whether Hesio sees anything in your store. You pay when it starts doing something about it.
Are the numbers on this page real?
The weekly report screenshot is the real report screen from the app, filled with a demonstration store’s data. The charts elsewhere on this page illustrate the shape of the answer rather than any one store’s results. Your own numbers arrive after 24–72 hours of shopper activity.
When will I see something useful?
An initial picture after 24–72 hours. A baseline worth acting on takes about seven days, because a pattern needs enough sessions to separate itself from noise.
Can Hesio tell me why a shopper left?
It tells you the most likely question they had, with a confidence level. Signals point to a question, not a proven motive - unclear sessions stay unclassified rather than getting a guess. That is deliberate: a confident wrong answer is worse than an honest “collect more data”.
What happens if I uninstall?
Collection stops the same day and billing stops with it. You can export everything Hesio has gathered before you go, and we delete your store’s data within 30 days.
How does installation work?
Install from the Shopify App Store. Shopify shows you every permission before you authorize anything, the observation embed goes on through the Web Pixels API, and there are no theme code edits. You are on Observation from the first session.
