Design Packs: Theme Sections typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (98 reviews). Section Shop typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 reviews).

Design Packs: Theme Sections and Section Shop 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.

AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
