Essential Grid Gallery edges out GG Product Page Image Slider on rating (4.9★ vs 4.8★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number. Pricing entry tiers: Essential Grid Gallery at Free plan available, GG Product Page Image Slider at Free plan 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.
