# How to use the Compare Apps feature

You can start a comparison and add apps in three simple ways:

### 1. Starting a new comparison from the Landing Page

**Step 1:** On the Compare Apps page, you will see several empty slots. Click the "+" icon in any of the slots.

**Step 2:** A search bar will appear. Search and select the first Shopify app you want to compare.

Repeat the process to add up to **four apps** for an initial side-by-side comparison. Click **Compare Now** to get the results immediately.

**Step 3:** Once you have selected at least two apps, the comparison results page will be generated automatically. Here, you can instantly analyze differences side-by-side across various tabs, including **App info**, **Ranking**, **Pricing**, and **Reviews**.

### 2. Adding more apps to an existing comparison

After your initial comparison is displayed, you can easily expand it by adding more apps. On the comparison results page, click **Add competitor** button. Search and select the new app you wish to add.

The new app will be added to your current comparison view, allowing you to analyze it alongside the apps you had previously selected.

### 3. Comparing from an app's detail page

While viewing any individual app's detail page, look for the **Compare** button located near the app's title.

An **App Compare** popup will appear. Click the "+" icon to open the **Add Competitor** window. In the search bar, search and select the competitor app you want to compare against. You can also choose from the list of **Recommended** apps.

After selecting a competitor, click **Add** and then **See comparison** to generate the detailed side-by-side results page.
