What is TrueProfit?

TrueProfit is a net profit analytics app built mainly for Shopify and other e-commerce stores. It connects your store, ad channels (including TikTok Ads), and cost sources to show real‑time net profit instead of just revenue.

To use TrueProfit with TikTok Shop, you follow a special setup. You connect your TikTok Shop, sync your orders and settlements, and set up additional costs, such as affiliate commissions, using custom settings. After that, TrueProfit shows your TikTok revenue, costs, and profit on the same dashboard as your Shopify and other stores, so you can see your whole business in one place.

Key TrueProfit features:

• Real‑time profit dashboard for all connected stores.
• Tracks COGS, shipping, transaction fees, taxes, and customs costs.
• Product‑level and ad‑level analytics, P&L, and customer lifetime value (LTV).
• Multi‑store support and a mobile app for checking profit on the go.

TikTok focus and fee accuracy

Integrations and data sources

TrueProfit supports TikTok Shop as one of several channels. It pulls TikTok orders and settlements, then combines them with data from Shopify, Woo, and other stores, along with ad spend from TikTok, Facebook, and Google. This is helpful if TikTok is only part of your larger ecommerce business.

Kixmon is focused only on TikTok Shop. It connects to TikTok Seller Centre for orders and payouts, TikTok Ads for ad spend, the Affiliate Centre for creator commissions, and GMV Max for deeper analytics. Every metric in Kixmon comes from TikTok APIs and is organised the same way TikTok reports it.

Handling TikTok fees

TrueProfit can track many types of costs, like COGS, shipping, transaction fees, taxes, and custom costs such as affiliate payouts. For TikTok Shop, you usually need to set up custom cost rules, such as for affiliate commissions, to ensure all fees are included. This works, but it requires manual setup and some knowledge of TikTok’s fee structure.

Kixmon is designed around TikTok’s fee structure from the start. It automatically reads TikTok’s settlement data and calculates over 45 fee types, including FBT, co-funded discounts, refunds, promotions, and different commission categories. You do not have to guess or set up extra cost rules because these fees are already built into Kixmon’s profit formulas.

If your main issue is not knowing your real profit after all TikTok fees, Kixmon is usually more accurate and easier to use than a general tool.

Reporting and dashboards

TrueProfit gives you a broad view of your business. You can see profit by product, campaign, channel, and store, as well as LTV and P&L reports. It is great for multi-store and multi-channel analysis, and it also has a mobile app for quick checks.

Kixmon gives you a detailed view of TikTok only. Its dashboard shows GMV, orders, returns, ad spend, affiliate commissions, gross profit, expenses, and net profit all on one screen. You can drill down by product SKU, order, or time range to see how changes in fees or ads affect your TikTok margins.

Since Kixmon is only for TikTok, the interface is simple for TikTok sellers. You do not have to deal with Shopify metrics or other channels you do not use.

Multi‑channel vs TikTok‑only

If you run a typical ecommerce brand with Shopify or another platform, plus TikTok Shop, Amazon, and more, TrueProfit gives you one profit dashboard for all your channels. You can see how TikTok compares to other channels and decide where to invest your budget.

If TikTok Shop is your main or only sales channel, you do not need such a broad view. In this case, Kixmon’s TikTok-only design is an advantage because every feature is made for TikTok sellers and every metric is directly linked to TikTok performance.

Many TikTok-first brands use a simple setup: Kixmon for TikTok profit, and a basic analytics tool for Shopify or other platforms if needed.

Ease of use and setup

With TrueProfit, you usually start in Shopify or your main store. You install the app, connect your stores, add TikTok Shop, and link your ad platforms. Then you enter COGS, shipping rules, and custom costs, such as affiliate commissions. After setup, you get a powerful multi-channel dashboard, but getting everything ready can take some time and attention.

With Kixmon, setup is simpler for TikTok-only sellers. You connect it to TikTok Seller Center, it imports your products and orders, and you enter your COGS once. Everything else comes from TikTok APIs. You do not need to connect to Shopify or set up other channels.

For daily use, both tools update profit in real time. However, Kixmon is often faster than TikTok Seller Center, especially if you are on a paid plan.

Pricing and value for money

How TrueProfit charges

TrueProfit uses tiered monthly plans plus per‑extra‑order charges. For example, the Basic plan is listed at 35 USD per month for 300 orders, and each additional order costs 0.3 USD up to a maximum surcharge. Higher plans (Advanced, Ultimate, Enterprise) include more orders and unlock more features such as product analytics, P&L, ad sync rules, and marketing attribution.

You can start with any plan and use all its features free for 14 days. This pricing is flexible, but your bill goes up as your order volume increases across all channels.

How Kixmon charges

Kixmon charges a flat monthly SaaS fee per TikTok shop, with no extra per-order charges listed in public descriptions. Third-party comparisons show Kixmon is priced in the mid-range, higher than some newer TikTok tools, but focused only on TikTok profit tracking. It offers a 7-day free trial so sellers can connect their TikTok Shop and see real net profit before paying.

Since Kixmon is not a global ecommerce BI tool, you are not paying for Shopify, Amazon, or inventory features you might never use if TikTok is your main channel. For TikTok-only brands, this makes the cost easier to justify.

Which gives better value?

• For small multi-channel stores, TrueProfit can be cheaper at first. Lower tiers and per-order pricing let you try the tool without a big fixed fee, especially if you already use Shopify.
• For growing TikTok-only brands, Kixmon’s flat monthly fee and TikTok-specific insights can give you more value. It helps you find hidden TikTok fees and profit leaks that general tools often miss.

Which should you choose?

Choose TrueProfit if you run a Shopify-first or multi-channel brand and want one dashboard for profit and LTV across all your stores and ad platforms, including TikTok Shop. It is a better fit if you care about your whole business performance, not just TikTok.

Choose Kixmon if TikTok Shop is your main or fastest-growing channel and your biggest issue is not knowing your real TikTok profit after all fees and commissions. Its TikTok-focused design, official APIs, and detailed fee logic make it one of the most accurate TikTok Shop profit trackers you can get.

Here is a simple way to decide:

• If more than half of your revenue and focus is on TikTok Shop, start with Kixmon.
• If TikTok is just one channel among many, or you already rely heavily on Shopify analytics, TrueProfit can be your central profit hub.
