Shopify Flow edges out Talon Backups on rating (4.7★ vs 4.5★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing entry tiers: Talon Backups at Free plan available, Shopify Flow 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 (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Shopify Flow has the larger user base (13,709 reviews vs 43), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Talon Backups's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Shopify Flow; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Talon Backups's 43-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Shopify Flow's broader-but-shallower coverage.
