Appstle℠ Memberships and Withfriends are evenly matched on rating (5.0★ vs 5.0★) — the differentiator comes down to pricing fit, feature breadth, and which app's interaction pattern suits your team's workflow. On pricing, Appstle℠ Memberships offers a free tier (Free to install) while Withfriends starts at $50/month. For early-stage stores or merchants validating fit, the free-tier path lets you run the app on real orders before committing budget. Appstle℠ Memberships has the larger user base (804 reviews vs 3), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Withfriends'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 of orders 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.

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