Shop edges out Carts Guru on rating (4.8★ 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: Carts Guru at Free plan available, Shop at Free. 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. Shop has the larger user base (7,305 reviews vs 20), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Carts Guru's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Shop; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Carts Guru's 20-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Shop's broader-but-shallower coverage. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Shopify App Store listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

Shop has the higher average rating (4.8★ from 7,305 reviews) compared to Carts Guru (4.5★ from 20 reviews). Both are tracked daily by AppRanks, so the figures here update each refresh cycle.
It depends on what you're optimizing for. Carts Guru fits better if you prioritize broader integrations; Shop is the call if you need the higher-rated option. Read both apps' detail pages on AppRanks for the full feature breakdown, install counts, and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store marketplace. Shop has more onboarding documentation maturity (7,305 reviews vs 20), which usually translates to better-tested setup wizards and quicker time-to-value. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for merchant-reported install experience.
Carts Guru typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (20 reviews). Shop aligns more with established stores with steady traffic (7,305 reviews). Larger review bases generally mean the app has been load-tested at scale — relevant if you're processing high order volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Carts Guru and Shop 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 Carts Guru" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
Great!!!
