Patronum edges out GW Manager on rating (5.0★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing entry tiers: GW Manager at Free of charge with paid features, Patronum at Free of charge trial. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage admins who need fast install and low risk should default to Patronum; mid-market and enterprise admins with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — GW Manager's 63-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Patronum's broader-but-shallower coverage.
This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Google Workspace Marketplace listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

Patronum has the higher average rating (5.0★ from 31 reviews) compared to GW Manager (4.7★ from 63 reviews). Both are tracked daily by AppRanks, so the figures here update each refresh cycle.
Patronum holds the higher average rating (5.0★ vs 4.7★). That is the one dimension AppRanks can separate them on here — read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Google Workspace Marketplace. GW Manager has the deeper published review base (63 vs 31), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly: read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.
GW Manager typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (63 reviews). Patronum typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (31 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. GW Manager and Patronum both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Patronum" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
