(Updated October 2026) Compare reviews and ratings for custom commission Shopify apps and see which apps are gaining the most install momentum.

UpPromote Affiliate Marketing leads custom commission Shopify apps with 3,873 cumulative reviews and a 4.9★ average rating. Referral Candy & Affiliate (1,482 reviews) and BixGrow Affiliate Marketing (1,327 reviews) round out the top 3. Combined, the top 3 apps hold 64.4% of all reviews across the top tier — a clear leadership tier with a meaningful long tail behind them. Notable mover: UpPromote Affiliate Marketing added the most new reviews this month (+84) — a strong recent install signal.
UpPromote Affiliate Marketing (3,873) and Referral Candy & Affiliate (1,482) sit close enough on cumulative reviews that current velocity matters more than the totals — for custom commission merchants, the apps adding reviews fastest right now (rather than the ones with the highest absolute count) are usually a better signal of current product-market fit.
UpPromote Affiliate Marketing accumulated 2,019 new reviews from Jan 2025 to Oct 2026, growing from 1,863 to 3,882 cumulative reviews — a steep addition rate for custom commission apps. Across the top 5 plotted custom commission apps, the steepest ongoing slopes mark the ones still actively winning new merchants — absolute review counts matter less than recent acceleration when picking apps in a category that's still growing.
Comparing custom commission apps on review trend slope rather than absolute count is the sharper signal — an app gaining reviews fast is winning current merchants, while UpPromote Affiliate Marketing's 3,882 cumulative base reflects long-running adoption that may or may not still be translating to new installs.
BixGrow Affiliate Marketing reached 1,000 reviews in 46 months since launch — the fastest ramp among the top 5 custom commission apps tracked here. UpPromote Affiliate Marketing in 52 months, Affiliate Marketing ReferrLy in 64 months, and Referral Candy & Affiliate took 90 months to cross the same milestone, a 44-month spread between the fastest and slowest in the set.
1 app on this chart hasn't yet crossed 1,000 reviews: GOAFFPRO ‑ Affiliate Marketing at 951 cumulative reviews. GOAFFPRO ‑ Affiliate Marketing is closest to the milestone — its current count puts it roughly 95% of the way to 1,000.
The 44-month gap between BixGrow Affiliate Marketing's and Referral Candy & Affiliate's time-to-1,000 highlights how unevenly product-market fit landed across this custom commission set — the leader found its merchant audience early, while late-rampers took multiple years to reach the same review depth. For merchants comparing these apps today, slower-ramping apps may have closed the functionality gap but still operate on smaller review bases.
UpPromote Affiliate Marketing has the most reviews among custom commission Shopify apps with 3,873 total reviews, ahead of Referral Candy & Affiliate at 1,482. Sort the table by Reviews (High to Low) to see the full ranked list.
