Shopify Messaging vs WhatsNotify

WhatsNotify edges out Shopify Messaging on rating (5.0★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.

Pricing entry tiers: Shopify Messaging at Free to install, WhatsNotify at Free to install. 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.

Shopify Messaging has the larger user base (4,467 reviews vs 1), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. WhatsNotify'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 WhatsNotify; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Shopify Messaging's 4,467-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than WhatsNotify's broader-but-shallower coverage.
