Based on the data on this page, Recently Viewed is the stronger choice for most Wix App Market merchants — 5.0★ vs Welcome Bar's 2.1★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing entry tiers: Recently Viewed at Free, Welcome Bar 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. Welcome Bar has the larger user base (177 reviews vs 6), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Recently Viewed'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 Recently Viewed; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Welcome Bar's 177-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Recently Viewed'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.

Both apps are one-click installs from the Wix App Market marketplace.

Recently Viewed typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (6 reviews). Welcome Bar aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (177 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. Recently Viewed and Welcome Bar 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 Recently Viewed" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
