Who uses Globo Mega Menu, Navigation?

Globo Mega Menu stores are catalog retailers. The median store lists about 217 products, in the same range as Qikify (about 244) and Buddha Mega Menu (259), while Smart Product Filter & Search stores are larger at 458. A catalog of a couple of hundred products across many collections is the point where a standard theme menu stops being enough.

About 7% of Globo Mega Menu stores run Shopify Plus, well above the Shopify-wide rate of about 4%. That is level with Buddha Mega Menu (7%) and below Qikify (11%) and Smart Product Filter & Search (12%). The median store runs 10 apps. In practice Globo Mega Menu serves small and mid-sized retailers with a broad range rather than enterprise brands.

68% of Globo Mega Menu stores are outside the United States. The US accounts for 32%, the United Kingdom is a clear second at 12%, then Germany at 7%, Canada at 6.5%, Australia at 6% and France at 5%. Germany and France are more prominent here than for Qikify or Buddha, which lean toward Australia instead.

By category, business and industrial stores lead at 25%, followed by fashion at 16%, technology at 12%, art and entertainment at 8% and general shopping at 6%. Business and industrial stores, selling parts, tools and supplies, often have deep category trees, which is exactly what a mega menu lays out.

The strongest pairing is Smart Product Filter & Search, which Globo Mega Menu stores run 12.8x more often than the average Shopify store. Both apps come from Globo.io, and so does Globo Product Options, which appears 4.1x more often. Many merchants evidently adopt several Globo.io apps together to handle navigation, filtering and product configuration.

Beyond the Globo.io family, the EComposer page builder appears 5.2x more often, the Powerful Contact Form Builder and the Section Store theme sections app 4.1x more often each, and the Pandectes GDPR consent app 3.2x more often. That is a store customizing its theme with add-on sections and pages, and the consent app fits the large European share.

Globo Mega Menu vs Qikify Mega Menu

Qikify is the closest like-for-like alternative. Its stores are similar in catalog size (median about 244 products) and more often on Shopify Plus (about 11%), with a stronger base in Australia and India. Qikify's paid plans start at $9.99 a month, slightly below Globo's $12.90.

Globo Mega Menu vs Buddha Mega Menu

Buddha Mega Menu has a free plan and a single paid plan at $9.95 a month. Its stores have a similar profile (median 259 products, about 7% on Plus) and are strongest in the United Kingdom and Australia at about 13% each. It has fewer App Store reviews than Globo and a 4.7 rating against Globo's 4.9.

Globo Mega Menu vs Smart Product Filter & Search

Smart Product Filter & Search is Globo.io's filtering and search app and usually complements a mega menu rather than replacing it. Its stores are larger (median 458 products) and about 12% run Plus. Paid plans start at $14 a month.

Other options

Meteor Mega Menu and Doofinder are other options in the navigation and search space.

Globo Mega Menu has a free Basic Navigation plan, then Growth Navigation at $12.90 a month and Pro Navigation at $17.90. Its entry price is slightly above Qikify ($9.99) and Buddha ($9.95), and its top plan is below Qikify's Premium at $19.99, so the full range of mega menu apps sits within a few dollars of each other.
