Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store.

Magic Wishlist & Emails typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (29 reviews). VDB Wishlist typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Magic Wishlist & Emails and VDB Wishlist 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 VDB Wishlist" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
