Smartarget Corner Ribbon edges out Message Bar Smartarget 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: Message Bar Smartarget at Free plan available, Smartarget Corner Ribbon 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 (apps, orders, integrations) varies.
