Workflow Automation—React Flow edges out Shopify Flow on rating (5.0★ 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 plan available, Workflow Automation—React Flow 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 (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Shopify Flow has the larger user base (13,681 reviews vs 177), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.

Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Workflow Automation—React Flow; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Shopify Flow's 13,681-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Workflow Automation—React Flow's broader-but-shallower coverage.
