Number Counter and Site Preloader are evenly matched on rating (4.9★ vs 5.0★) — the differentiator comes down to pricing fit, feature breadth, and which app's interaction pattern suits your team's workflow. On pricing, Site Preloader offers a free tier (Free plan available) while Number Counter 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. Number Counter has the larger user base (154 reviews vs 3), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Site Preloader's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort of orders for 7-14 days before committing. The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most merchants the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Wix App Market listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

Both apps are one-click installs from the Wix App Market marketplace. Number Counter has more onboarding documentation maturity (154 reviews vs 3), which usually translates to better-tested setup wizards and quicker time-to-value.

Number Counter typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (154 reviews). Site Preloader aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (3 reviews). Larger review bases generally mean the app has been load-tested at scale — relevant if you're processing high order volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Number Counter and Site Preloader 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 Site Preloader" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
