Pricing entry tiers: Auction Today at Free plan available, Magical Make an Offer at Free to install. 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 (apps, orders, integrations) varies. Auction Today has the larger user base (286 reviews vs 167), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Magical Make an Offer's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
