Sauce: Instagram, TikTok & UGC

Sauce no longer offers a permanent free plan — paid plans start at $50/month (Essentials). However, every plan includes a 7-day free trial so you can test the app before being charged. Plans scale up to $200/month (Standard), $600/month (Prime), and $2,000/month (Enterprise).

Each plan has a cap on monthly gallery impressions and 'Sauce Sales' (revenue attributed through Sauce clicks). If your store generates more attributed sales than your plan allows, additional charges may apply — and Sauce Social Commerce may bill these separately from your Shopify invoice. At least one merchant review flagged unexpected overages, so it's worth reviewing the impression and sales limits carefully against your store's traffic before choosing a tier.

Sauce turns Instagram and TikTok content into shoppable galleries and videos on your storefront. The $50/month Essentials plan includes shoppable video and photo galleries, product page galleries, UGC collection (up to 50 photos/videos), and Instagram and TikTok feed integration — with 20,000 gallery impressions and up to $2,500 in attributed Sauce Sales per month. Higher tiers add influencer marketing tools, Sauce TV (a Netflix-style video shopping hub), AMBSDR rewards, competitor analysis, and a dedicated account manager.

Multiple merchant reviews specifically praise Sauce for not impacting site speed, with one merchant calling it 'by far the best solution we've tried for integrating videos and social media into our store without affecting the speed.' The App Store summary also highlights fast loading times as a noted strength.

According to Sauce's own response to a critical review, the app only attributes a sale when a customer actively clicks on a Sauce module and then completes checkout — no click means no attribution. Some merchants have disputed this, so if attribution accuracy is a concern, it's worth clarifying the exact tracking methodology with the Sauce team before installing.

Yes — Sauce integrates with Klaviyo for email and CRM, along with Instagram Shopping, TikTok Videos, Facebook Product Catalogue, the Shopify Admin, Checkout, Customer Accounts, and Shop App Minis. This makes it possible to embed shoppable UGC galleries into email campaigns and abandoned cart flows alongside your on-site galleries.

Support is consistently highlighted as a standout strength — merchants frequently mention team members Fede (Federica) and Guy (the CEO) by name for going above and beyond during onboarding and optimization calls. One merchant noted that coding help for older themes was provided at no extra charge. The main caveat is a time-zone gap (the team is UK-based), which can occasionally cause a slight delay in responses, though merchants say issues are always resolved.
