Blotout EdgeTag edges out Google & YouTube on rating (4.7★ vs 4.5★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number. Pricing entry tiers: Blotout EdgeTag at Free trial available, Google & YouTube at Free to install. 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. Google & YouTube has the larger user base (4,862 reviews vs 26), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Blotout EdgeTag'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 Blotout EdgeTag; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Google & YouTube's 4,862-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Blotout EdgeTag'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.

Blotout EdgeTag typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (26 reviews). Google & YouTube aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (4,862 reviews).

It took us a while to figure what what we were doing wrong, after we got google to find our site, google have been great. thank you
I love Shopify!
Migration support varies by app and category. Blotout EdgeTag and Google & YouTube 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 Blotout EdgeTag" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
