Comparison
Skail vs Lifetimely
Short version: they do different jobs. Lifetimely (now part of AMP) is a profit and lifetime-value tool that is strong on margin detail. Skail is the independent, always-on AI analyst that reads your whole ecosystem and hands the owner the verdict. This page lays out the difference plainly, with Lifetimely's pricing verified from their own site in July 2026, so you can pick the right tool, or run both.
The short answer
- Choose Lifetimely if your main need is a detailed daily profit-and-loss view with strong lifetime-value and cohort analysis.
- Choose Skail if you want an independent analyst that reads across your whole ecosystem and tells you what to do next, not just what your margins are.
- Run both if you want the deep profit detail and an independent cross-platform read that reasons over the bigger picture.

What Lifetimely is genuinely good at
Lifetimely, now part of AMP, is a strong profit-analytics tool. It tracks true profit and loss and customer lifetime value across your channels, built on data from tens of thousands of stores, and its Profit Agent monitors performance around the clock and proposes actions. If your primary question is "what is my real margin and LTV, day by day," Lifetimely is purpose-built for that. Its pricing scales with your order volume, from a free tier up to $999 per month for high-volume stores.
What Skail does differently
Skail is not just a profit tracker. It is an independent analyst across your whole ecosystem. It connects read-only to Shopify, Klaviyo, GA4, Google Ads, and Meta, verifies every number at the source (it never estimates a figure it can confirm), and reasons across revenue, email, paid, and retention together, not profit alone. Then it works as an always-on analyst: weekly and monthly briefs, an audit on demand whenever you want one, and a real-time chat you can ask anything. It works for the owner, and it is a flat $99 per month that does not climb as your store grows.
