Karix SMS and WhatsApp Notify edges out Shopify Messaging 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: Karix SMS and WhatsApp Notify at Free, Shopify Messaging at Free to install.
