ExpressText Connect is the cheaper option — it offers a free plan (Free to install). Sendperplane starts at From $9/month. Both publish their pricing on the Shopify App Store; AppRanks mirrors what's listed on each refresh cycle.
AppRanks cannot separate these two on rating, because neither publishes one. ExpressText Connect does carry the larger published review base (17 vs 0). Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store. ExpressText Connect has the deeper published review base (17 vs 0), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly: read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.
ExpressText Connect typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (17 reviews). Sendperplane typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. ExpressText Connect and Sendperplane 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 Sendperplane" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
