Based on the data on this page, Display Authors Widget is the stronger choice for most WordPress Plugin Directory site owners — 4.4★ vs X3P0: Authors's 0.0★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage site owners who need fast install and low risk should default to Display Authors Widget; mid-market and enterprise site owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — X3P0: Authors's 0-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Display Authors Widget's broader-but-shallower coverage.
This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing every 24 hours.

Read each app's audit: Display Authors Widget audit • X3P0: Authors audit
Display Authors Widget holds the higher average rating (4.4★ vs 0.0★). That is the one dimension AppRanks can separate them on here — read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the WordPress Plugin Directory. Display Authors Widget has the deeper published review base (5 vs 0), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly: read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.
Display Authors Widget typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (5 reviews). X3P0: Authors typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 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. Display Authors Widget and X3P0: Authors 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 X3P0: Authors" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
