Pricing entry tiers: Catalog Machine at Free plan available, XO Insert Code 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 (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.

XO Insert Code has the larger user base (110 reviews vs 14), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.
