The AI operations layer for marketplace sellers
Synton AI vs Mirakl
Mirakl is the enterprise platform that powers marketplaces for retailers like Macy's and Best Buy, and now connects them to AI shopping agents. Synton AI is the operations layer for the merchants who sell — on marketplaces, on their own store, everywhere.
Undo recorded product and store-setting changes. Whole-store restore is not available.
Catches drift across systems that no single tool sees.
Quick Decision
Which Tool Is Right for You?
Choose Mirakl if:
- You are an enterprise retailer launching or operating your own marketplace or dropship program
- You need retail media infrastructure across a large seller ecosystem
- You want enterprise-grade agentic commerce infrastructure with a sales-led rollout
Choose Synton AI if:
- You are a merchant or seller who needs AI to run daily operations — inventory, pricing, campaigns, support
- You want your products discoverable by AI shopping agents without an enterprise contract
- You want self-serve pricing from $49/month with every action logged, priced, and undoable where possible
Use both if:
- Sell on Mirakl-powered marketplaces for enterprise distribution and reach
- Use Synton AI to run the operation behind those sales — stock, pricing, content, and customer service across every channel
