# WooCommerce vs Panel Admin

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Panel Admin at 88% against WooCommerce's 44%. Panel Admin also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). WooCommerce's advantage is ratings volume (7.7K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WooCommerce sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $39.00 per month. Panel Admin asks for nothing beyond the download.

Panel Admin holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WooCommerce has 7.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of WooCommerce's written reviews are positive against 88% of Panel Admin's.

WooCommerce ships an update every 2 weeks, Panel Admin fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
