Kick Affiliate Marketing (5.0★, 1 reviews) and Referral Candy & Affiliate (4.9★, 1,480 reviews) are essentially tied on rating. Look at review velocity and individual reviewer quotes — both visible on each app's detail page — to differentiate.
Kick Affiliate Marketing holds the higher average rating (5.0★ vs 4.9★). That is the one dimension AppRanks can separate them on here — read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly; Referral Candy & Affiliate has more published reviews to read for user-reported install experience (1,480 vs 1).

What it can show: Kick Affiliate Marketing has 1 published reviews; Referral Candy & Affiliate has 1,480 published reviews. Compare plan limits and pricing tiers against your own volume.
Migration support varies by app and category. Kick Affiliate Marketing and Referral Candy & Affiliate 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. The fastest check: search "import from Kick Affiliate Marketing" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
