Clione vs Recomaze. A team of agents, or one job done on the whole catalog.

The verdict

Pick Recomaze if you run a small store and want one subscription to cover AI search, a sales chat on the storefront, content, social posts and customer support, installed from your platform's app store with a free plan to try. Recomaze's six agents run from one company brain.

Pick Clione if the catalog is the job and it is a big one. Clione enriches every product, category, collection and content page, one at a time, in batches or across the whole catalog, publishes the signals through your platform's own API when you press Push, and then reads the live page to tell you what rendered.

Six agents, one invoice

Recomaze is a suite. Its AI Search agent writes the pages that get a store recommended in ChatGPT and Gemini; beside it sit a Sales agent, a Content Studio, a Social media agent, a Commerce agent and a Customer Success agent, all run from what Recomaze calls the Company AI Brain.

For a store with a few hundred products and nobody to run five tools, that is a fair trade. It also means the catalog is one module among six, and the plans are sized that way: each one caps how many products are fully optimised, and every plan covers one website. Clione does only the catalog, and is built so an agency can run many stores from one organization.

Where Recomaze is stronger

• All three platforms, from the app stores. Recomaze is on the Shopify App Store and the BigCommerce marketplace, and has a WooCommerce plugin. Clione works on the same three but is not listed in either store; a person sets it up with you.
• A low, self-serve start. A free plan, a 7-day trial and paid Shopify plans from $39 a month, with prices on the page.
• A sales chat in the same bill. A conversational agent for questions, discovery and recommendations on your storefront.
• Free audits to start. A GEO audit, an AI visibility audit and other free tools before you sign up.
• Blogs and social posts. Recomaze writes them. Clione does not write blog content.

Where Clione is different

• It publishes through the platform's API on BigCommerce. The Widget API renders the graph on the server. Recomaze's BigCommerce listing describes a bulk CSV export.
• It checks the page. After each push Clione fetches the live page and reports what rendered against what it pushed, and warns when a PIM or the platform overwrites a field it wrote.
• It covers the whole store. Products, categories or collections, and content pages, each with enrichment, FAQs, publish and verify.
• It is taught, not toggled. A brand voice sheet, your own documents, a keyword blacklist and an editable prompt per entity type, with your own model and key if you want them.
