Based on the data on this page, Shop is the stronger choice for most Shopify App Store merchants — 4.8★ vs SimpleSubscription's 0.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing entry tiers: Shop at Free, SimpleSubscription at Free plan available. 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 (7,269 reviews vs 0), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. SimpleSubscription'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 Shop; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — SimpleSubscription's 0-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Shop'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 Shop and SimpleSubscription offer paid plans only. Shop starts at Free; SimpleSubscription starts at Free plan available. Compare the per-tier features in the Pricing section above before committing.
It depends on what you're optimizing for. Shop fits better if you prioritize rating consistency; SimpleSubscription is the call if you need the larger user base. Read both apps' detail pages on AppRanks for the full feature breakdown, install counts, and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store marketplace. Shop has more onboarding documentation maturity (7,269 reviews vs 0), which usually translates to better-tested setup wizards and quicker time-to-value. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for merchant-reported install experience.
Shop typically suits established stores with steady traffic based on its review-base composition (7,269 reviews). SimpleSubscription aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (0 reviews). Larger review bases generally mean the app has been load-tested at scale — relevant if you're processing high order volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Shop and SimpleSubscription 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 SimpleSubscription" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
