03 · How you stack up
Rothy's vs. the best
We lined up Rothy's’s stack against 64 other Apparel storefronts and the 20 top-scoring brands. Rothy's runs 3 of 10 lanes. These are the lanes where peers have an edge.
Email and SMS
UnlockRothy's doesn’t show an email or SMS platform in our scan. 83% of Apparel brands do. Email and SMS are where repeat revenue lives.
Attribution
UnlockRothy's doesn’t show an attribution tool in our scan. 60% of the top-scoring brands do. Knowing which ads really drive orders is how you raise spend without guessing.
Popups and list growth
UnlockNo popup or list growth tool spotted on Rothy's’s store, while 45% of Apparel brands run one. Most first visits end without an order. A list catches the ones who come back.
Post-purchase experience
Unlock28% of Apparel brands run a post-purchase app for tracking, returns or protection. Our scan didn’t find one on Rothy's’s storefront. Tracking, returns and protection are where a first order turns into a second.

Not spottedOnly 15% of peers run one, so it doesn’t count as an unlock.
Adoption is the share of storefronts where our Oct 9, 2026 scan found at least one app in the lane. Apps that live only in checkout or the back office can hide from a scan, so “not spotted” doesn’t mean missing. App names show what other brands run. They aren’t endorsements. A few links to software partners are referral links, and we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no cost to you. Money never changes a score.
