Apps are not inherently bad. The problem is overlapping tools, storefront scripts and recurring fees that no longer correspond to clear business value.
Inventory what each app does, who uses it, what data it holds and what would break if it disappeared. Then compare native Shopify capability, theme code, custom development and replacement platforms.
Remove dependencies carefully. Preserve data, test customer journeys and confirm analytics before uninstalling anything that touches storefront or operational workflows.
Choose one high-value journey, document the current evidence and give the next change an owner, a success signal and a review date.
