Kaching Subscriptions App edges out Sharpei: Hardware‑as‑a‑Service 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, Sharpei: Hardware‑as‑a‑Service 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. Kaching Subscriptions App has the larger user base (744 reviews vs 16), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Sharpei: Hardware‑as‑a‑Service's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
