Essential Upsell & Cross Sell and PageFly Landing Page Builder both exist within the Shopify upsell and cross-sell category, but serve fundamentally different purposes. Essential Upsell & Cross Sell focuses exclusively on boosting Average Order Value (AOV) by offering various upsell and cross-sell strategies like 'frequently bought together' suggestions, product recommendations, and post-purchase upsells. Its strength lies in its specialized features designed to directly increase sales through add-ons, bundles, and discounts triggered at various points in the customer journey (product page, cart, post-purchase). Its target audience is merchants specifically seeking to enhance their existing product pages and checkout flow with sales-boosting recommendations. PageFly Landing Page Builder, on the other hand, is a much broader tool. While it can be used for upsell and cross-sell purposes within the landing pages you build, its primary function is to provide a drag-and-drop interface for creating entirely custom landing pages, product pages, and other store sections. It offers more control over the visual presentation and layout of your store, but less specifically targeted upsell and cross-sell functionality out of the box compared to Essential Upsell & Cross Sell. Merchants choosing PageFly are typically looking for comprehensive design control over their store's visual presence, and who might *then* use that control to build in upsell/cross-sell elements.

For merchants whose primary goal is to quickly and easily implement a variety of upsell and cross-sell strategies to boost AOV, Essential Upsell & Cross Sell is the clear winner. Its dedicated features and focused approach provide immediate value. However, if the merchant needs complete control over the look and feel of their store and requires highly customized landing pages (and has the design expertise to utilize it), PageFly Landing Page Builder is the better choice. While PageFly *can* be used for upselling, it requires more manual configuration and design effort to achieve the same results as Essential Upsell & Cross Sell.
No, PageFly doesn't offer pre-built 'Frequently Bought Together' functionality. You would need to manually design and implement such a feature using PageFly's elements and potentially custom code.
No, Essential Upsell & Cross Sell is designed to enhance existing product pages and the cart experience, not to build complete landing pages from scratch.
Essential Upsell & Cross Sell is generally easier to use for beginners. Its features are designed to be implemented quickly with minimal design knowledge. PageFly requires more design skill to effectively create and customize pages.
Yes, it is possible to use both apps. You would use Essential Upsell & Cross Sell for its specific upsell features on product pages, and PageFly to design other landing pages or customize aspects of your theme where more control is needed.
Without specific data on integrations, it is difficult to definitively say. PageFly, being a more general page builder, is more likely to have a broader range of integrations, but you need to check their documentation. Essential Upsell & Cross Sell's integrations are likely focused on other sales and marketing tools.
