Pricing is noticeably different: Request a Quote at $69/year vs Variation Swatches and Photos at $99/year (~43% premium on the entry tier).

Request a Quote has the larger user base (161 reviews vs 6), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Variation Swatches and Photos'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 Request a Quote; mid-market and enterprise store owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Variation Swatches and Photos's 6-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Request a Quote's broader-but-shallower coverage.
