Pricing entry tiers: Littledata ‑ The Data Layer at Free to install, Pinterest 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. Pinterest has the larger user base (1,518 reviews vs 137), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.

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.
