Agentic Index
CommerceIQ vs Swiftly (2026)
Both run agents on proprietary retail data and they sit on opposite sides of the shelf.
CommerceIQ serves brands selling through retailers, with role specific AllyAI teammates optimizing sales, retail media and the digital shelf across nine hundred retailers, documenting 10 of 14. Swiftly serves the retailers themselves plus wholesalers and brands, with marketing and operations agent stacks on a large proprietary retail dataset that personalize offers, launch closed loop retail media and automate store operations, at 8. Ask whether you own the shelf or compete for space on it.
Choose CommerceIQ if
- You are a brand and the problem is winning at nine hundred retailers you do not control.
- Documented coverage is broader and digital shelf optimization is the daily job.
- Role specific teammates map to how your ecommerce team is already structured.
Choose Swiftly if
- You are a retailer or wholesaler and store operations are in scope alongside marketing.
- Closed loop retail media that you own is the revenue line you are building.
- Modular plans let you buy the operations half without the marketing half.
