Bonify Custom Fields and Hyve ‑ Custom Blog Authors are evenly matched on rating (4.4★ vs 4.5★) — the differentiator comes down to pricing fit, feature breadth, and which app's interaction pattern suits your team's workflow. Pricing entry tiers: Bonify Custom Fields at Free plan available, Hyve ‑ Custom Blog Authors at Free plan available.

Hyve ‑ Custom Blog Authors's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.

The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most merchants the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone. 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.
