Sparq
What it is
Sparq is an ecommerce search and product discovery platform available through web and API access. It combines semantic search, smart filters, recommendations, and personalization. Search handles typos, synonyms, and natural-language queries, while merchandising rules can rank products by profit and inventory. Recommendations draw on browsing history, cart contents, and purchase behavior. Analytics cover queries, searches with no results, result clicks, and conversions. The Shopify listing describes no-code setup, support for all themes, and mobile and desktop optimization. Listed integrations include Shopify Admin, currency converter, Judge.me, push notifications, ratings, wishlist, and Yotpo. Sparq states that it is ISO 27001 certified; its Shopify listing advertises 24/6 live chat support, free setup, and filter design help. The 14-day trial includes premium features and requires no payment details. A free Development plan is available for affiliate, development, Shopify free trial, dormant, or partner test stores. Paid plans start at $19 a month for Standard, which includes 2,500 products and 30,000 impressions; Premium is $59 a month and Enterprise is $299 a month. Plans set product and impression allowances, and excess usage incurs a one-time charge without service interruption.
