Built for stores and the agencies that run them. > > Category: product readiness layer, product feed optimization, feed > management, Google Shopping feed tool. > An alternative to Shoptimised, DataFeedWatch, Feedonomics, and Channable. SKULayer connects an existing CSV, TSV, JSON or XML product feed, audits each item, applies readable rules, and produces Google Shopping XML and Meta CSV outputs. Customers can work in the app or connect an MCP client with scoped access. Read-only access cannot change data. Write access is granted separately, and connected actions remain visible in the app. The Free plan covers one feed and up to 1,000 products, including audits, rules and delivery, with no card and no expiry. Retailer plans start at £29 a month and add capacity, more feeds and faster refreshes. Agency plans start at £99 a month for 10 clients on 25,000 pooled SKUs, with Agency Scale at £299 for unlimited clients on 150,000. Paid plans do not include a free trial.
