| Where the app is strongBased on the provider's own listing, summarised by us. |
|
|
“Higher plan” means the app offers the feature, only not on the plan shown. An app with fewer plans shows its highest plan at the upper levels.
Monthly prices in the provider's own currency, before tax. Several providers are cheaper when billed yearly. With ContentPilot you either use your own AI key — then your AI provider bills the usage separately — or a plan with AI included.
How GG Image Slider works
GG Image Slider replaces your theme's product gallery with its own slider (thumbnails, zoom, lightbox, video, 3D). Showing only the selected variant's images is an option that relies on the order of your Shopify media. The price follows your Shopify plan.
Where GG Image Slider is strong
- A configurable slider with zoom, lightbox and pinch-to-zoom.
- Video and 3D models, also in AR.
- Optimised for swiping on mobile.
- Low price.
What ContentPilot adds
- Assign images in the app, by drag and drop or automatically by file name and SKU.
- Bulk upload with WebP conversion.
- AI alt texts, translated into every language of your store.
- Translation, SEO and AI content in the same plan.
Which one fits you?
Choose GG Image Slider if you mainly want a different product gallery. Choose ContentPilot if you want variant galleries together with image optimisation, alt texts and translation.
Based on the providers' own App Store listings and help pages, as of October 2026. Apps change quickly — check the current listing before you decide. “Not stated” means we could not find a clear answer, not that the feature is missing. Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we will correct it.
