Based on the data on this page, Order Desk is the stronger choice for most Wix App Market merchants — 4.9★ vs ShipStation's 2.8★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing entry tiers: Order Desk at Paid, ShipStation at Paid. 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. ShipStation has the larger user base (105 reviews vs 26), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Order Desk'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 Order Desk; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — ShipStation's 105-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Order Desk's broader-but-shallower coverage. 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.

Order Desk typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (26 reviews). ShipStation aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (105 reviews).

Migration support varies by app and category. Order Desk and ShipStation 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 Order Desk" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
