Based on the data on this page, Stripe is the stronger choice for most WooCommerce Marketplace store owners — 3.7★ vs Authorize.net's 3.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.
Pricing entry tiers: Authorize.net at Free, Stripe at Free. 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 (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage store owners who need fast install and low risk should default to Stripe; mid-market and enterprise store owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Authorize.net's 3-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Stripe'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 WooCommerce Marketplace 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 WooCommerce Marketplace. Stripe has the deeper published review base (53 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.
Authorize.net typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (3 reviews). Stripe typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (53 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. Authorize.net and Stripe 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 Authorize.net" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
