Based on the data on this page, Captain Shipping Protection is the stronger choice for most Shopify App Store merchants — 4.9★ vs Insure Sell's 0.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing entry tiers: Captain Shipping Protection at Free trial available, Insure Sell 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. Captain Shipping Protection has the larger user base (246 reviews vs 0), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.
