Post Views Counter edges out Aurora Heatmap on rating (4.9★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Post Views Counter has the larger user base (1,225 reviews vs 7), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Aurora Heatmap'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 Post Views Counter; mid-market and enterprise site owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Aurora Heatmap's 7-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Post Views Counter's broader-but-shallower coverage.
