Based on the data on this page, WooPayments is the stronger choice for most WooCommerce Marketplace merchants — 3.9★ vs Stripe Tax's 2.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing entry tiers: Stripe Tax at Free, WooPayments 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 (apps, orders, integrations) varies. WooPayments has the larger user base (174 reviews vs 7), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Stripe Tax'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 WooPayments; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Stripe Tax's 7-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than WooPayments'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 marketplace.

Stripe Tax typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (7 reviews). WooPayments aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (174 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. Stripe Tax and WooPayments 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 Stripe Tax" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
