WHEN DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO SWITCH FROM BASELINE: CRO THEME SECTIONS?
Four reasons people leave.
Decision triggers, not marketing. If two or more apply, your shortlist starts with the apps named below each card.
Pricing has outgrown your usage
If your usage of Baseline: CRO Theme Sections has crossed a pricing-tier breakpoint, per-unit cost is usually where alternatives diverge most clearly. Some apps in the list above carry a free tier; others are paid from day one. Compare the published plans on each alternative's page against your current bill — the gap is the only number worth acting on, and it is specific to your usage.
OT Section: Theme Sections · LayoutHub ‑ Easy Page BuilderYou need a feature outside the focus
Each Shopify category has a feature spectrum. The "Similar feature set" badge above marks alternatives whose feature signature most overlaps with Baseline: CRO Theme Sections. The "Category leader" badge marks apps that may approach the same category from a different feature angle — useful if you want to widen rather than narrow your toolset.
LayoutHub ‑ Easy Page BuilderSupport response has slowed you down
Support quality is the hardest thing to read from a listing, and it is the most common reason a switch gets made. Read the most RECENT reviews on each alternative's profile rather than the lifetime average — recency is what tells you how the app is supported today, and trailing review velocity is the freshest signal AppRanks tracks.
