Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store.

CXS Smart Booking typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 reviews). Product Rentals Pro typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (50 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. CXS Smart Booking and Product Rentals Pro 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 CXS Smart Booking" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
