Based on the data on this page, PH Breadcrumbs is the stronger choice for most Shopify App Store merchants — 5.0★ vs Left side menu's 0.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.
Pricing entry tiers: PH Breadcrumbs at Free plan available, Left side menu at Free trial 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.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to PH Breadcrumbs; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Left side menu's 0-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than PH Breadcrumbs's broader-but-shallower coverage.

AppRanks cannot separate these two on rating, because neither publishes one. PH Breadcrumbs does carry the larger published review base (18 vs 0). Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store. PH Breadcrumbs has the deeper published review base (18 vs 0), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly: read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.
PH Breadcrumbs typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (18 reviews). Left side menu typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. PH Breadcrumbs and Left side menu 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. The fastest check: search "import from Left side menu" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
