Packrooster Shipping edges out Shopify Flow on rating (4.9★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number. Pricing entry tiers: Shopify Flow at Free, Packrooster Shipping 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. Shopify Flow has the larger user base (11,695 reviews vs 72), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Packrooster Shipping'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 Packrooster Shipping; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Shopify Flow's 11,695-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Packrooster Shipping'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.

Packrooster Shipping has the higher average rating (4.9★ from 72 reviews) compared to Shopify Flow (4.7★ from 11,695 reviews). Both are tracked daily by AppRanks, so the figures here update each refresh cycle.
It depends on what you're optimizing for. Shopify Flow fits better if you prioritize broader integrations; Packrooster Shipping is the call if you need the higher-rated option. Read both apps' detail pages on AppRanks for the full feature breakdown, install counts, and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store marketplace. Shopify Flow has more onboarding documentation maturity (11,695 reviews vs 72), which usually translates to better-tested setup wizards and quicker time-to-value. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for merchant-reported install experience.
Shopify Flow typically suits established stores with steady traffic based on its review-base composition (11,695 reviews). Packrooster Shipping aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (72 reviews). Larger review bases generally mean the app has been load-tested at scale — relevant if you're processing high order volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Shopify Flow and Packrooster Shipping 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 Packrooster Shipping" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
