Blocksy Companion edges out Tipsy Social Icons on rating (4.7★ vs 4.5★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Blocksy Companion; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Tipsy Social Icons's 2-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Blocksy Companion's broader-but-shallower coverage. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.
