Based on the data on this page, OT Section: Theme Sections is the stronger choice for most Shopify App Store merchants — 5.0★ vs Smart Section's 0.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.
Pricing entry tiers: OT Section: Theme Sections at Free to install, Smart Section at Free plan available. 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 (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
OT Section: Theme Sections has the larger user base (279 reviews vs 0), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Smart Section's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to OT Section: Theme Sections; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Smart Section's 0-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than OT Section: Theme Sections's broader-but-shallower coverage.

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

AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly: read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.
OT Section: Theme Sections typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (279 reviews). Smart Section 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. OT Section: Theme Sections and Smart Section 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 Smart Section" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
