Here's who I'd actually name:\n\n## If you're on Shopify (most common case)\n\n**1. Shopify's own Retail Barcode Labels app** - start here before paying for anything. It's free, made by Shopify, generates barcodes for products/variants and prints to Dymo, Zebra, Brother or sheet labels. If it covers you, stop.\n\n**2. MS Barcode Labels & Generator** - the one I'd pay for if the free app falls short. 4.9★ with ~97% 5-star reviews, solid label designer, generates GTIN/UPC/EAN, and reviewers consistently call out fast support. Best balance of power and simplicity.\n\n**3. Yanet Retail Barcode Labels** - pick this if label *design* is your pain point. Drag-and-drop editor, any label size, UPC/EAN/GTIN/QR plus custom SKU patterns. Most-reviewed app in the category.\n\n**4. EasyScan** - different tool for a different problem: if you want staff scanning barcodes to pick, pack and do stock counts (not just printing), this is the fulfilment-side pick.\n\n## If you're on WooCommerce\n\n**5. YITH WooCommerce Barcodes and QR Codes** - the default recommendation. Auto-generates for your whole catalogue", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
