The data on this page doesn't separate Author Recent Posts and Published By on rating, pricing, languages, category rank or listed features. Compare the tables below against your own requirements.
Built only from the WordPress Plugin Directory listing data shown on this page. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparisons. Read the methodology
Read each app's audit: Author Recent Posts audit • Published By audit
Author Recent Posts (5.0★, 2 reviews) and Published By (5.0★, 1 reviews) are essentially tied on rating. Look at review velocity and individual reviewer quotes — both visible on each app's detail page — to differentiate.
AppRanks cannot separate these two on rating — both sit at 5.0★. Author Recent Posts does carry the larger published review base (2 vs 1). Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the WordPress Plugin Directory. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly; Author Recent Posts has more published reviews to read for user-reported install experience (2 vs 1).
AppRanks cannot say which fits a larger or smaller operation — there is no store-size measurement in the WordPress Plugin Directory data. What it can show: Author Recent Posts has 2 published reviews; Published By has 1 published reviews. Compare plan limits and pricing tiers against your own volume.
Migration support varies by app and category. Author Recent Posts and Published By 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 Published By" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
