Pricing entry tiers: OrderProtect at Free trial available, Simply Shipping Protection 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. Simply Shipping Protection has the larger user base (125 reviews vs 11), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.

The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most merchants the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Shopify App Store listing every 24 hours. 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.
