Snap Search: Live Search Layer edges out Searchanise Search & Filter 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: Searchanise Search & Filter at Free plan available, Snap Search: Live Search Layer 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 (apps, orders, integrations) varies. Searchanise Search & Filter has the larger user base (1,212 reviews vs 5), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Snap Search: Live Search Layer's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Snap Search: Live Search Layer; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Searchanise Search & Filter's 1,212-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Snap Search: Live Search Layer'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.
