Sharpei: Hardware‑as‑a‑Service and Shop are evenly matched on rating (4.7★ vs 4.8★) — the differentiator comes down to pricing fit, feature breadth, and which app's interaction pattern suits your team's workflow. Pricing entry tiers: Sharpei: Hardware‑as‑a‑Service at Free to install, 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 (apps, orders, integrations) varies. Shop has the larger user base (7,305 reviews vs 15), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Sharpei: Hardware‑as‑a‑Service's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort of orders for 7-14 days before committing. The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most merchants the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone. 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.
