Based on the data on this page, Logged-in-only is the stronger choice for most WordPress Plugin Directory merchants — 5.0★ vs Firebase Authentication's 4.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Logged-in-only; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Firebase Authentication's 20-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Logged-in-only'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.
Read each app's audit: Firebase Authentication audit • Logged-in-only audit
Logged-in-only has the higher average rating (5.0★ from 7 reviews) compared to Firebase Authentication (4.0★ from 20 reviews). Both are tracked daily by AppRanks, so the figures here update each refresh cycle.
It depends on what you're optimizing for. Firebase Authentication fits better if you prioritize broader integrations; Logged-in-only is the call if you need the higher-rated option. Read both apps' detail pages on AppRanks for the full feature breakdown, install counts, and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the WordPress Plugin Directory marketplace. Firebase Authentication has more onboarding documentation maturity (20 reviews vs 7), which usually translates to better-tested setup wizards and quicker time-to-value. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for merchant-reported install experience.
Firebase Authentication typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (20 reviews). Logged-in-only aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (7 reviews). Larger review bases generally mean the app has been load-tested at scale — relevant if you're processing high order volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Firebase Authentication and Logged-in-only 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 Logged-in-only" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
