Smart Coupons edges out Lightspeed POS on rating (4.4★ vs 4.3★), 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: Smart Coupons at $129/year vs Lightspeed POS at $249/year (~93% 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. Smart Coupons has the larger user base (233 reviews vs 41), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Lightspeed POS'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 Smart Coupons; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Lightspeed POS's 41-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Smart Coupons'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. Smart Coupons has more onboarding documentation maturity (233 reviews vs 41), which usually translates to better-tested setup wizards and quicker time-to-value.

Lightspeed POS typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (41 reviews). Smart Coupons aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (233 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. Lightspeed POS and Smart Coupons 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 Lightspeed POS" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
