Search Live edges out YMC Filter 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 Search Live; mid-market and enterprise site owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — YMC Filter's 32-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Search Live's broader-but-shallower coverage.

Migration support varies by app and category. Search Live and YMC Filter 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 Search Live" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
