Based on the data on this page, Joy Wishlist app is the stronger choice for most Shopify App Store merchants — 5.0★ vs Wishlist Hero's 4.6★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing entry tiers: Joy Wishlist app at Free, 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 (388 reviews vs 10), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Joy Wishlist app'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 Joy Wishlist app; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Wishlist Hero's 388-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Joy Wishlist app'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.
