Private Store & Website edges out Composite Products on rating (5.0★ vs 4.8★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing differs significantly: Private Store & Website at $49/year vs Composite Products at $149/year (Composite Products is roughly 3.0x the entry-tier cost of Private Store & Website). 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.
Composite Products has the larger user base (107 reviews vs 4), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Private Store & Website'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 Private Store & Website; mid-market and enterprise store owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Composite Products's 107-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Private Store & Website's broader-but-shallower coverage.

Both apps are one-click installs from the WooCommerce Marketplace.

Private Store & Website typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (4 reviews). Composite Products typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (107 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. Private Store & Website and Composite Products 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 Private Store & Website" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
