Kaching Subscriptions App edges out Layaway Control Panel 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: Kaching Subscriptions App at Free plan available, Layaway Control Panel 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.
Kaching Subscriptions App has the larger user base (1,016 reviews vs 46), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Layaway Control Panel's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Kaching Subscriptions App; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Layaway Control Panel's 46-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Kaching Subscriptions App's broader-but-shallower coverage.
