Simple Access Control edges out Max Mega Menu 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.
Max Mega Menu has the larger user base (877 reviews vs 7), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Simple Access Control's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage site owners who need fast install and low risk should default to Simple Access Control; mid-market and enterprise site owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Max Mega Menu's 877-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Simple Access Control's broader-but-shallower coverage.
