Based on the data on this page, Wishlist Hero is the stronger choice for most Shopify App Store merchants — 4.7★ vs Gift Registry's 0.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing entry tiers: Gift Registry at Free plan available, Wishlist Hero 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. Wishlist Hero has the larger user base (391 reviews vs 0), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Gift Registry'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 Wishlist Hero; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Gift Registry's 0-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Wishlist Hero'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.

Gift Registry and Wishlist Hero 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.

AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
