Post Meta Controls edges out Head Meta Data on rating (5.0★ vs 4.8★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage site owners who need fast install and low risk should default to Post Meta Controls; mid-market and enterprise site owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Head Meta Data's 19-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Post Meta Controls's broader-but-shallower coverage.

Head Meta Data typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (19 reviews).

Head Meta Data and Post Meta Controls 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.

AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
