Pricing entry tiers: Boost AI Search & Filter at Free trial available, Shopper Buddy at Free trial available.

Boost AI Search & Filter has the larger user base (1,630 reviews vs 0), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Shopper Buddy'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 Boost AI Search & Filter; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Shopper Buddy's 0-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Boost AI Search & Filter's broader-but-shallower coverage.

AppRanks cannot separate these two on rating, because neither publishes one. Boost AI Search & Filter does carry the larger published review base (1,630 vs 0). Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store. Boost AI Search & Filter has the deeper published review base (1,630 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.
Boost AI Search & Filter typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (1,630 reviews). Shopper Buddy 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. Boost AI Search & Filter and Shopper Buddy 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 Shopper Buddy" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
