Based on the data on this page, Automatic Order Printing is the stronger choice for most WooCommerce Marketplace merchants — 4.2★ vs ShipStation's 3.9★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. On pricing, ShipStation offers a free tier (Free) while Automatic Order Printing starts at $119/year. The free option meaningfully reduces evaluation cost, particularly for stores at sub-1K monthly orders where the entry-paid tier can outpace the value delivered. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Automatic Order Printing; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — ShipStation's 20-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Automatic Order Printing'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.

Automatic Order Printing typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (31 reviews). ShipStation aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (20 reviews).
