Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Aug 27, 2026 for Advanced POS, Nov 10, 2026 for RF. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
