Based on the data on this page, Photo Editor is the stronger choice for most Wix App Market merchants — 4.7★ vs Fancy Web Effects's 2.8★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. On pricing, Photo Editor offers a free tier (Free plan available) while Fancy Web Effects starts at Paid. The free option meaningfully reduces evaluation cost, particularly for stores at sub-1K monthly orders where the entry-paid tier can outpace the value delivered. Photo Editor has the larger user base (160 reviews vs 8), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Fancy Web Effects'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 Photo Editor; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Fancy Web Effects's 8-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Photo Editor's broader-but-shallower coverage.
