Based on the data on this page, Affiliate is the stronger choice for most WooCommerce Marketplace store owners — 4.5★ vs Advanced Catalog Mode's 2.3★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.
Pricing differs significantly: Advanced Catalog Mode at $79/year vs Affiliate at $179/year (Affiliate is roughly 2.3x the entry-tier cost of Advanced Catalog Mode). The pricier tier typically signals deeper feature coverage or higher capacity ceilings; confirm the gap matches your actual feature requirements before treating cost as the deciding factor.
Affiliate has the larger user base (123 reviews vs 3), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Advanced Catalog Mode's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage store owners who need fast install and low risk should default to Affiliate; mid-market and enterprise store owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Advanced Catalog Mode's 3-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Affiliate's broader-but-shallower coverage.

Affiliate holds the higher average rating (4.5★ vs 2.3★). That is the one dimension AppRanks can separate them on here — read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the WooCommerce Marketplace. Affiliate has the deeper published review base (123 vs 3), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly: read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.
Affiliate typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (123 reviews). Advanced Catalog Mode typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (3 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Affiliate and Advanced Catalog Mode 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 Advanced Catalog Mode" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
