Pricing entry tiers: Filtor AI Search & Filter at Free plan available, Smart Product Filter & Search 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. Smart Product Filter & Search has the larger user base (2,157 reviews vs 19), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Filtor AI Search & Filter's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort of orders for 7-14 days before committing. The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most merchants the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone. 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.

Ottima Assistenza, grazie
We've been using this app across various stores for longer than I can remember, at least 4 years. It's our go-to filter and search app. Fantastic support from Clara who goes over and above to ensure we are taken care of. Thank you!
I have a store with hundreds of poster prints, and this app has been the missing piece I've been looking for. I only wanted a clean, simple search bar without the extra filters and buttons, but I couldn't figure out how to set it up myself. Clara from support responded within minutes and had everything configured exact
Migration support varies by app and category. Filtor AI Search & Filter and Smart Product Filter & Search 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 Filtor AI Search & Filter" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
