AddToAny Share Buttons edges out The Social Links on rating (4.7★ vs 4.4★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
AddToAny Share Buttons has the larger user base (1,114 reviews vs 7), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. The Social Links's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage site owners who need fast install and low risk should default to AddToAny Share Buttons; mid-market and enterprise site owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — The Social Links's 7-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than AddToAny Share Buttons's broader-but-shallower coverage.
