FilterIQ vs Boost Commerce for Shopify
Choose FilterIQ when a clear price, colour and size journey plus reviewable filter-set organisation is the decision. Boost Commerce publishes a wider search, recommendation and bundle suite; its Shopify App Store listing currently says the app is unavailable, so confirm an access route directly with Boost.
FilterIQ in practice
Start with what you can see.
The on-site demo shows all four swatches for one dress. Selecting Purple updates its product-card photograph. The Filter Setup capture shows how sets are organised, not a publish action.
These captures include both the source storefront and the on-site 12-product preview, so counts can differ. Use the preview to try a query, change a filter and inspect the result, then review the setup on your own theme.
