Mercado Pago and Smart Coupons are evenly matched on rating (4.4★ vs 4.4★) — the differentiator comes down to pricing fit, feature breadth, and which app's interaction pattern suits your team's workflow.
On pricing, Mercado Pago offers a free tier (Free) while Smart Coupons starts at $129/year. For early-stage teams validating fit, the free-tier path lets you run the app on real workloads before committing budget.
Smart Coupons has the larger user base (234 reviews vs 19), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Mercado Pago's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort for 7-14 days before committing. The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most store owners the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone.
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.

Mercado Pago typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (19 reviews). Smart Coupons typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (234 reviews).

Mercado Pago 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 Mercado Pago" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
