WooCommerce Product Search edges out Cost & Reports on rating (4.3★ vs 4.1★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing is noticeably different: WooCommerce Product Search at $59/year vs Cost & Reports at $89/year (~51% premium on the entry tier). For early-stage store owners the cheaper tier is the lower-risk starting point; mid-market store owners should compare the specific capacity gates the higher tier unlocks before treating the premium as justified.
WooCommerce Product Search has the larger user base (195 reviews vs 7), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Cost & Reports'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 WooCommerce Product Search; mid-market and enterprise store owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Cost & Reports's 7-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than WooCommerce Product Search's broader-but-shallower coverage.
