Based on the data on this page, GLS Shipping Method is the stronger choice for most WooCommerce Marketplace merchants — 5.0★ vs Local Pickup Plus's 4.2★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Pricing is noticeably different: GLS Shipping Method at $79/year vs Local Pickup Plus at $99/year (~25% premium on the entry tier). For early-stage merchants the cheaper tier is the lower-risk starting point; mid-market merchants should compare the specific capacity gates the higher tier unlocks before treating the premium as justified. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to GLS Shipping Method; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Local Pickup Plus's 51-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than GLS Shipping Method'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.
