TI WooCommerce Wishlist is a reliable, traditional choice, but its free version reserves essential features for premium users. Discover why SaveTo Wishlist is the modern alternative for store owners who want unlimited lists, drag-and-drop sorting, and quantity management without paying for a $79 upgrade.
As developers who build WooCommerce tools, we constantly hear the same complaint: "freemium" plugins feel too limited. Many store owners start with TI WooCommerce Wishlist but quickly realize that features like multiple lists or saving a full cart are restricted to the paid tier.
To give you an objective look at the market, we tested the free versions of SaveTo Wishlist and TI WooCommerce Wishlist on a clean staging site. Our goal? To help you choose a tool that keeps your site fast and gives your customers a premium experience for $0. Here is the raw data.
Wishlist plugins can often slow down your product pages. While TI WooCommerce Wishlist is better than many older plugins, we looked at the hard, unchangeable facts: the exact amount of code weight added to your site.
