Magento Compare Products lets customers instantly add items to the comparison list using AJAX, eliminating page reloads and improving site speed. This Magento 2 product comparison extension introduces a floating comparison tray for real-time tracking and allows Smart Compare functionality on both product and catalogue pages. Store admins can customise the comparison block’s design, layout, and text, set product limits, and personalise popups to match store branding.
Challenge
Magento’s default product comparison feature is highly outdated and frustrating from a user experience perspective. It forces customers to either reload the entire page or redirect, thereby interrupting their shopping journey. This is not just inconvenient but forces users to abandon their session altogether. On top of it, users have no way of knowing which products they have selected until they actually navigate to the comparison page.
Solution
The Magento 2 Smart Compare extension addresses all of the above problems by offering an AJAX-based product comparison solution. Customers can compare products instantly without reloading the page, while a floating tray provides real-time visibility into which products are selected for comparison. Store admins can restrict the number of products that can be added for comparison, compelling customers to focus only on meaningful choices.

The Smart Compare extension uses AJAX-based functionality to let customers add products to their comparison list instantly. Unlike the default Magento behaviour, no page reloads are required, which keeps the browsing flow uninterrupted. This ensures faster product evaluation and saves customers from the frustration of slow navigation.
Magento’s built-in comparison feature is usually restricted to catalogue or search result pages, limiting its usefulness. Smart Compare extends this functionality to product detail pages, allowing shoppers to add items to their comparison list directly while viewing specifications. This makes it easier for customers who prefer researching products in detail before deciding.
Too many items in a comparison list can overwhelm customers and make decision-making harder. With Smart Compare, store owners can set a limit on how many products can be added at once. For instance, you may allow a maximum of four products, which keeps the comparison concise and meaningful. By guiding customers towards a manageable selection, the extension ensures comparisons remain effective instead of cluttered.
The floating comparison tray is highly customisable, allowing store admins to modify its layout, style, and position on the page. You can adjust colours, text formatting, and even how the block appears when a product is added. These personalisation options ensure the block does not feel intrusive while still being easily visible. By aligning its look with your store theme, the extension maintains a professional appearance and keeps branding consistent across the site.
When a product is added to the comparison list, Smart Compare displays a confirmation popup. This popup can be fully customised, including its message, design, background colour, and placement. Tailoring these notifications makes them blend seamlessly with your site’s aesthetic and tone of voice.

5Can't recommend it enough
I can’t recommend the Magento 2 Smart Compare extension enough! It’s made the shopping experience on my site so much smoother. Customers love being able to compare products without jumping between pages.

4Exactly what I needed
This extension is exactly what I needed for my store! The side-by-side comparison feature is so helpful for customers to see all the important details clearly. It’s simple to use, and the design blends well with my store theme. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that I wish there were more customization options for the comparison table. But overall, it’s a very useful tool that has made shopping easier for my customers.
