Based on the data on this page, Custom Permalinks is the stronger choice for most WooCommerce Marketplace merchants — 5.0★ vs Affiliate's 4.5★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing differs significantly: Custom Permalinks at $49/year vs Affiliate at $179/year (Affiliate is roughly 3.7x the entry-tier cost of Custom Permalinks). 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 (120 reviews vs 4), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Custom Permalinks'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 Custom Permalinks; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Affiliate's 120-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Custom Permalinks'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.

It depends on what you're optimizing for. Affiliate fits better if you prioritize broader integrations; Custom Permalinks is the call if you need the higher-rated option. Read both apps' detail pages on AppRanks for the full feature breakdown, install counts, and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the WooCommerce Marketplace marketplace. Affiliate has more onboarding documentation maturity (120 reviews vs 4), which usually translates to better-tested setup wizards and quicker time-to-value. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for merchant-reported install experience.
Affiliate typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (120 reviews). Custom Permalinks aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (4 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. Affiliate and Custom Permalinks 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 Custom Permalinks" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
