Magic Wishlist edges out XB Wishlist 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: Magic Wishlist at Free, XB Wishlist 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.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Magic Wishlist; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — XB Wishlist's 57-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Magic Wishlist's broader-but-shallower coverage.

Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store. XB Wishlist has the deeper published review base (57 vs 29), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs.

Magic Wishlist typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (29 reviews). XB Wishlist typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (57 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Magic Wishlist and XB Wishlist 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 Magic Wishlist" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
