Consentmo Ranked #1 on The SaaS Hub's Top 10 Shopify Apps. Here's Our Story.

We're excited to share some news: Consentmo has been officially listed on The SaaS Hub - and not just listed, but selected as #1 in their Top 10 Shopify Apps.

For those unfamiliar, The SaaS Hub is a curated discovery platform built specifically for the Shopify ecosystem. Rather than listing every app that applies, they personally vet each one - interviewing founders and evaluating what genuinely sets an app apart. Getting this recognition from a platform that takes curation seriously means a lot to our team.

Here's the story behind our listing and why platforms like this matter for the Shopify community.

The Challenge of Finding the Right App

The Shopify App Store has grown dramatically over the past few years. From around 5,600 apps in 2021 to over 13,000 apps today, the ecosystem has more than doubled. That growth reflects incredible developer interest and innovation - but it also creates a real challenge for merchants.

Consider what store owners are navigating:

• 13,000+ apps competing for attention across dozens of categories
• 87% of Shopify merchants rely on apps to run their businesses
• The average merchant uses 6 apps - meaning most store owners go through the evaluation process multiple times
• 11,000+ unique developers publishing apps, with widely varying quality and support levels

With the rise of AI-powered development tools, launching an app has never been easier. That's democratizing in many ways, but it also means more apps entering the store without the careful craftsmanship merchants deserve. For store owners searching for something as critical as privacy compliance - where mistakes can mean legal exposure - sorting through the noise isn't just tedious. It's risky.

Why Curated Discovery Matters

This is the problem The SaaS Hub was created to solve.

Founded by Yuvraj Kewate, who has spent years helping Shopify apps scale, The SaaS Hub operates on a simple premise: merchants shouldn't have to do all the filtering work themselves. Instead of algorithmically ranking apps by install count or review volume, they take a human-driven approach - interviewing founders, understanding each product's unique value, and only featuring apps they genuinely believe will help merchants succeed.

For store owners, this means browsing with confidence that initial vetting has already been done. For app developers, it means reaching merchants who are actively seeking quality recommendations rather than just scrolling through search results.

What Being Ranked #1 Means to Us

Being listed is an honor. Being selected as the #1 app in their Top 10? That's something we're genuinely proud of.

Consentmo has been serving the Shopify ecosystem for years, helping merchants navigate the complex landscape of global privacy laws - GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, POPIA, and regulations across 50+ countries. We've earned "Built for Shopify" status and the trust of thousands of stores worldwide.

But recognition from a curated platform carries different weight. The SaaS Hub isn't ranking by metrics alone. They're making qualitative judgments about which apps truly stand out. Being ranked #1 tells us that our approach - making privacy compliance comprehensive yet accessible, legally robust yet merchant-friendly - resonates with people who evaluate Shopify apps for a living.

The Broader Value of Curation

The Shopify ecosystem's growth is a good thing. More apps mean more solutions, more innovation, and more options for merchants building their businesses.

But scale creates its own challenges. Shopify has been addressing this - their "Built for Shopify" program highlights apps meeting quality standards, and they've become more proactive about removing apps that don't deliver value. Still, with 13,000+ apps and new ones launching regularly, there's only so much algorithmic curation can accomplish.

Platforms like The SaaS Hub fill that gap. They're doing the manual, human-driven work that doesn't scale easily but provides real value: talking to founders, understanding products, and making informed decisions about what deserves to be featured.

For merchants overwhelmed by choice, that's genuinely helpful. For app developers committed to quality, it's a path to visibility that doesn't depend solely on marketing budgets or accumulated metrics.

We're honored to be part of The SaaS Hub's curated collection and grateful for the #1 recognition. It validates our belief that privacy compliance doesn't have to be complicated - and that building something merchants genuinely value is still the best way to stand out.
