Recently Viewed Products ‑Free edges out Shop on rating (5.0★ vs 4.8★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing entry tiers: Recently Viewed Products ‑Free at Free, Shop 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.
Shop has the larger user base (9,148 reviews vs 1), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Recently Viewed Products ‑Free'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 Recently Viewed Products ‑Free; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Shop's 9,148-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Recently Viewed Products ‑Free'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. 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.

Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store. Shop has the deeper published review base (9,148 vs 1), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs.

Recently Viewed Products ‑Free typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (1 reviews). Shop typically suits established teams with steady usage based on its published review base (9,148 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. Recently Viewed Products ‑Free and Shop 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 Recently Viewed Products ‑Free" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
