Both apps are one-click installs from the WordPress Plugin Directory. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly; Product Author for WooCommerce has more published reviews to read for user-reported install experience (4 vs 2).
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 by Category has 2 published reviews; Product Author for WooCommerce has 4 published reviews. Compare plan limits and pricing tiers against your own volume.
Migration support varies by app and category. Author by Category and Product Author for WooCommerce 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 Author by Category" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
