Based on the data on this page, Intuitive Shipping is the stronger choice for most Shopify App Store merchants — 5.0★ vs Custom Shipping's 0.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.
On pricing, Intuitive Shipping offers a free tier (Free plan available) while Custom Shipping starts at $5/month. The free option meaningfully reduces evaluation cost, particularly at low usage volumes where the entry-paid tier can outpace the value delivered.
Intuitive Shipping has the larger user base (485 reviews vs 0), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Custom Shipping's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Intuitive Shipping; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Custom Shipping's 0-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Intuitive Shipping's broader-but-shallower coverage.

Intuitive Shipping typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (485 reviews).

Migration support varies by app and category. Custom Shipping and Intuitive Shipping 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 Custom Shipping" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
