Based on the data on this page, Shopify Flow is the stronger choice for most Shopify App Store merchants — 4.7★ vs Dynamics 365 Business Central's 2.5★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing entry tiers: Dynamics 365 Business Central at Free to install, Shopify Flow at Free. 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. Shopify Flow has the larger user base (11,687 reviews vs 28), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Dynamics 365 Business Central'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 Shopify Flow; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Dynamics 365 Business Central's 28-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Shopify Flow's broader-but-shallower coverage. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Shopify App Store listing every 24 hours. 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.

Migration support varies by app and category. Dynamics 365 Business Central and Shopify Flow 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.
