Notify! Back in Stock|PreOrder edges out Pre‑order Manager Pro on rating (4.9★ 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: Pre‑order Manager Pro at Free trial available, Notify! Back in Stock|PreOrder at Free plan available. 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.
