5 Best LayoutHub Alternatives for Shopify Stores

Updated October 2026: prices and features checked against the Shopify App Store.

A well-designed store makes a real difference when it comes to turning visitors into buyers. LayoutHub is a popular Shopify page builder and a go-to choice for many merchants. But it isn't the only option, and other builders may suit your store better. In this guide, we look at the best LayoutHub alternatives and competitors to help you find the right page builder.

What are the reasons making you seek LayoutHub alternatives?

LayoutHub is a trusted choice for building Shopify pages. It's known for its simple interface, its library of ready-made layouts and its helpful support team (read our full LayoutHub review for details). Still, it has some limits that lead people to look elsewhere. Here are the most common reasons.

Limited design flexibility: LayoutHub is built around picking a layout and changing its content. If you have a very specific design in mind, you may not be able to build it exactly.

Limited elements and sections: LayoutHub offers a good range of elements and sections, but you may need some that aren't in its library.

Performance impact: Depending on how complex your design is and how many elements you use, pages built with any page builder can slow your store down.

Dependency on a third-party app: Using LayoutHub means relying on a third-party app for your design. If the app changes or closes, your pages could be affected. Modern Shopify themes can now do a lot with the native theme editor, so check whether you need an app at all.

Compatibility concerns: Some users run into conflicts when using LayoutHub alongside other Shopify apps.

5 Best LayoutHub Alternatives and Competitors

PageFly

PageFly is one of the leading page builder apps for Shopify. You can build landing pages, product pages, collection pages and more without code, using a drag-and-drop editor, templates or its FlyMate AI assistant. Many users choose it for its ease of use and low starting price: the paid Builder plan starts at $24/month, which is cheaper than many other page builders.

It comes with more than 320 page and section templates that you can adapt to your brand. PageFly also integrates with over 200 third-party apps, and its higher plans add A/B testing, heatmaps and an AI Page Checkup that shows what may be costing you sales. Our PageFly review goes into more detail.

Another serious LayoutHub competitor is GemPages, which also offers a drag-and-drop page builder for Shopify. Even without coding knowledge, you can create professional-looking pages, customise layouts for mobile, tablet and desktop, and manage SEO settings.

Its visual editor is suitable for beginners and experienced users alike, and it covers all page types: blog posts, product pages, collection pages, the home page and landing pages. You can start from its templates or build from elements such as sliders, videos, countdowns and product tabs.

It also offers reusable content sections, page analytics and a theme sections editor for making changes across your Shopify templates. Shogun is Shopify Plus Certified, and its Advanced plan can sync content between stores. A/B testing now lives in a separate app, Shogun AB Testing. Shogun costs more than LayoutHub, so it suits medium and large businesses best.
