Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Search Console at 100% against WooCommerce's 44%. Search Console also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). WooCommerce's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (7.8K vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. WooCommerce sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $39.00 per month and Search Console sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WooCommerce holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WooCommerce has 7.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of WooCommerce's written reviews are positive against 100% of Search Console's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WooCommerce ships an update fortnightly, Search Console every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
