Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Extendons Digital Downloads; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Shopify Digital Products's 1,241-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Extendons Digital Downloads's broader-but-shallower coverage.
