Ctx: WhatsApp Chat + Marketing edges out Shopify Inbox on rating (4.9★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number. Pricing entry tiers: Ctx: WhatsApp Chat + Marketing at Free plan available, Shopify Inbox 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. Shopify Inbox has the larger user base (5,517 reviews vs 246), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Ctx: WhatsApp Chat + Marketing'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 Ctx: WhatsApp Chat + Marketing; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Shopify Inbox's 5,517-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Ctx: WhatsApp Chat + Marketing'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.

1. The update introducing the so-called AI features is terrible; the AI itself is highly ineffective and frequently gives irrelevant answers, so I’ve disabled it entirely. 2. Since customers no longer need to provide their email addresses, it is impossible to distinguish between new and returning clients, and replies
