## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Barcode and labelling" splits into three different jobs, and the right pick depends on which one you mean. Here's who I'd actually name:
> 
> ## If you're on Shopify (most common case)
> 
> **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.
> 
> **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.
> 
> **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.
> 
> **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.
> 
> ## If you're on WooCommerce
> 
> **5. YITH WooCommerce Barcodes and QR Codes** - the default recommendation. Auto-generates for your whole catalogue
