Pricing entry tiers: UpPromote Affiliate Marketing at Free plan available, Collective Club ‑ Forum at Free plan available.

UpPromote Affiliate Marketing has the larger user base (3,818 reviews vs 9), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Collective Club ‑ Forum's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort for 7-14 days before committing. The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most merchants the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone.
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 Shopify App Store 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.

Collective Club ‑ Forum 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. UpPromote Affiliate Marketing has the deeper published review base (3,818 vs 9), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs.

Collective Club ‑ Forum typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (9 reviews).

Migration support varies by app and category. UpPromote Affiliate Marketing and Collective Club ‑ Forum 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.

AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
