Pricing entry tiers: PayPal Button at Free plan available, Smartarget Instagram Stories 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. PayPal Button has the larger user base (2,974 reviews vs 25), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Smartarget Instagram Stories's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.

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.
