StatusPro ‑ Order Status edges out W3 Custom Order Status on rating (5.0★ vs 4.8★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing entry tiers: StatusPro ‑ Order Status at Free trial available, W3 Custom Order Status 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 (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
