Based on the data on this page, Packlink PRO Shipping Platform is the stronger choice for most Shopify App Store merchants — 4.8★ vs Simple Express's 0.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.
Pricing entry tiers: Packlink PRO Shipping Platform at Free plan available, Simple Express at Free. 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.
Packlink PRO Shipping Platform has the larger user base (905 reviews vs 0), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Simple Express'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 Packlink PRO Shipping Platform; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Simple Express's 0-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Packlink PRO Shipping Platform's broader-but-shallower coverage.
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.

Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store. Packlink PRO Shipping Platform has the deeper published review base (905 vs 0), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly: read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.
Packlink PRO Shipping Platform typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (905 reviews). Simple Express 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. Packlink PRO Shipping Platform and Simple Express 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 Simple Express" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
