Tolstoy vs Reelfy
Reelfy is a low-cost way to put Reels and TikToks on a Shopify store. The real choice is whether you only need to show videos you already have, or need a system that also makes new video, tests it and reuses it beyond your storefront.
What Reelfy is
A Shopify app by KiteApps that turns imported Instagram Reels, TikToks and uploaded videos into shoppable stories, carousels and stacked video widgets.
Who Reelfy is a good fit for

Reelfy lists a Free plan (10 video uploads), Starter at $9.99/month (25 uploads), Growth at $19.99/month (100 uploads) and Enterprise at $39.99/month (unlimited uploads, the tier listed for high-volume and Shopify Plus stores).

Why brands move from Reelfy to Tolstoy
Upload caps set the ceiling. Every plan below Enterprise limits how many videos you can host (10, 25 or 100), so the library cannot grow with the catalog without moving to the top tier.
No content engine. Reelfy shows video you already have. Its listing does not describe a way to generate product video or imagery from the catalog.
Storefront-only reach. The listing does not document Shop App or marketplace syndication, or A/B testing of placements.
