Both apps are one-click installs from the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Secure XML-RPC typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (3 reviews). Simpler Checkout typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (2 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Secure XML-RPC and Simpler Checkout 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 Simpler Checkout" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
