Un grand merci à Gwen pour son aide et sa patience ! J’avais du mal à installer le formulaire d’affiliation sur ma boutique, et elle a pris le temps de s’occuper de son intégration sur ma page d’accueil.

Review text isn't collected for this app yet (18 reviews on the marketplace).
BL External Links Button is cheaper to start with — it offers a free plan and UpPromote Affiliate Marketing doesn't list one. Prices are as listed on the Shopify App Store; check what each tier includes in the Pricing section above.
UpPromote Affiliate Marketing (4.9★, 3,920 reviews) and BL External Links Button (5.0★, 18 reviews) are essentially tied on rating. Look at review velocity and individual reviewer quotes — both visible on each app's detail page — to differentiate.
BL External Links Button holds the higher average rating (5.0★ vs 4.9★). 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 Shopify App Store. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly; UpPromote Affiliate Marketing has more published reviews to read for user-reported install experience (3,920 vs 18).
AppRanks cannot say which fits a larger or smaller operation — there is no store-size measurement in the Shopify App Store data. What it can show: UpPromote Affiliate Marketing has 3,920 published reviews; BL External Links Button has 18 published reviews. Compare plan limits and pricing tiers against your own volume.
Migration support varies by app and category. UpPromote Affiliate Marketing and BL External Links Button 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 BL External Links Button" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
