ASE Animated Store Effects (5.0★, 2 reviews) and Video Player by bPlugins (5.0★, 2 reviews) are essentially tied on rating. Look at review velocity and individual reviewer quotes — both visible on each app's detail page — to differentiate.
AppRanks cannot recommend one over the other from published marketplace data: the Shopify App Store does not expose a rating or review base that separates them. Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown, and compare against your own requirements rather than a headline number.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly, and the Shopify App Store publishes no review base that would let us infer it for these two — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.
