We've tested both themes side-by-side. Here's every metric, feature, and detail you need to choose the right one.
Kala
E-commerceKala by kalathemes (Power Elite Author) is a flexible, customizable Shopify OS 2.0 theme that lets you build your own store without touching a line of code. It ships with 70+ unique designed sections and product sections — bestselling, new, featured, deal products, collections, and creative banners — plus 7 headers, 4 footers, 7 creative product-page layouts, 6 collection layouts, and many mega-menu styles. Over 40 preset homepage layouts cover fashion, electronics, cosmetics, gifts, furniture, groceries, and more, ready to launch immediately. Technically built for production: compiled, compressed code for speed, Google PageSpeed optimization, integrated microdata and rich snippets so prices, reviews, and stock display in Google results. Its mobile UI/UX is specially optimized for shopping on smartphones and tablets to boost mobile conversion rates.
Savoy
E-commerceSavoy creates the basis for an amazing online store. Its modern minimalist Scandinavian design puts your products firmly in focus, while the built-in AJAX architecture gives customers a genuinely seamless, app-like experience on both desktop and mobile. Every interaction — filtering, sorting, adding to cart, and quick-view — happens without a single page reload, which keeps visitors in the shopping flow and measurably lifts conversion rates. The theme has been refined over more than 55,000 sales and maintains a 4.89/5 rating across 1,600+ verified reviews, a track record very few themes can match. If you sell high-quality lifestyle products, clothing, art, or any range where clean presentation matters more than overwhelming features, Savoy delivers a distraction-free storefront that loads fast, feels effortless, and lets your products do the selling.
