Based on the data on this page, Data Export IO: Reports is the stronger choice for most Shopify App Store merchants — 5.0★ vs Xero's 4.3★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing entry tiers: Data Export IO: Reports at Free trial available, Xero at Free trial 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. Data Export IO: Reports has the larger user base (1,938 reviews vs 13), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Xero'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 Data Export IO: Reports; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Xero's 13-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Data Export IO: Reports's broader-but-shallower coverage.

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.
