Based on the data on this page, WhatsApp is the stronger choice for most Wix App Market site owners — 4.9★ vs Live Messenger's 3.6★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.
On pricing, WhatsApp offers a free tier (Free plan available) while Live Messenger starts at Paid. The free option meaningfully reduces evaluation cost, particularly at low usage volumes where the entry-paid tier can outpace the value delivered.
WhatsApp has the larger user base (3,958 reviews vs 514), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Live Messenger's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage site owners who need fast install and low risk should default to WhatsApp; mid-market and enterprise site owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Live Messenger's 514-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than WhatsApp's broader-but-shallower coverage.

AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
