Pricing entry tiers: Swym Gift Lists and Registries at Free plan available, Wishlist Hero 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. Wishlist Hero has the larger user base (391 reviews vs 39), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Swym Gift Lists and Registries'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 Wishlist Hero; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Swym Gift Lists and Registries's 39-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Wishlist Hero'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.
