Post Template Select edges out Post Type Switcher 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. Post Type Switcher has the larger user base (252 reviews vs 3), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Post Template Select's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
