Pricing has outgrown your usage

OT Section: Theme Sections · LayoutHub ‑ Easy Page BuilderYou need a feature outside the focus
Each Shopify category has a feature spectrum. The "Similar feature set" badge above marks alternatives whose feature signature most overlaps with Piece: Section Store. The "Category leader" badge marks apps that may approach the same category from a different feature angle — useful if you want to widen rather than narrow your toolset.
LayoutHub ‑ Easy Page BuilderSupport response has slowed you down
Support quality is the hardest thing to read from a listing, and it is the most common reason a switch gets made. Read the most RECENT reviews on each alternative's profile rather than the lifetime average — recency is what tells you how the app is supported today, and trailing review velocity is the freshest signal AppRanks tracks.
