WhatsApp edges out Ultimate Custom Order Status on rating (4.4★ vs 4.3★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing entry tiers: Ultimate Custom Order Status at Free trial available, WhatsApp 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.
WhatsApp has the larger user base (824 reviews vs 7), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Ultimate Custom Order Status'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 WhatsApp; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Ultimate Custom Order Status's 7-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than WhatsApp's broader-but-shallower coverage.
