17 Best Shopify Product Review Apps in 2026 (Free & Paid)

Most "best review apps" lists run on old data. Pricing pages change. Apps rebrand. Free plans appear and disappear — and the guides that outrank this one are currently wrong about the pricing of the single most popular photo-review app on Shopify.

So we checked every app in this guide directly on the Shopify App Store, live, on September 9, 2026: every rating, review count, price tier and Built for Shopify badge, across all 17 apps. Not the top picks — all of them.

Two things that check turned up:

• Loox has a free plan — and the big lists still say it does not. Its "Beginner" tier is free, with paid tiers now Convert ($49.99) and Unlimited ($299.99). Loox was famous for being the good app with no free option. Both guides currently outranking this page still price it at "$9.99/month" — a tier that no longer exists.
• Seven of the 17 apps here do not carry the Built for Shopify badge — Yotpo, Okendo, Stamped, Fera, REVIEWS.io, Opinew and Klaviyo. Most lists imply all the majors have it. Two of those (Stamped and Fera) we ourselves had listed as badge-holders in our August edition; that was wrong, and it is corrected below.

A correction, stated plainly (September 9, 2026): our August 12 edition credited Stamped and Fera with Built for Shopify badges. Re-checking each listing's own header — rather than the "similar apps" strip further down the page, which is where that mistake comes from — neither app carries one. Both remain good apps and stay in this guide; only the badge claim was wrong. We would rather publish the correction than quietly edit the table.

What Is the Best Product Review App for Shopify?

Quick answer: Judge.me is the best product review app for most Shopify stores, and the best free review app too. It has a 5.0 rating from 46,633 merchants, and the free plan includes unlimited reviews with photos and videos. Pick Loox if photo reviews drive your sales, Okendo if you run a growing DTC brand, Junip if you are building headless or on Hydrogen, and Yotpo if you are at enterprise scale.

Quick disclosure: Oxify, the site publishing this guide, makes a Shopify cart drawer and upsell app, not a review app. That is why it is not one of the 17 ranked below. We cover it in one clearly labeled section further down, where it is actually relevant: pairing review trust signals with in-cart upsells.

What Changed in 2026: Review App Changelog

A lot moved this year. If a guide does not mention these changes, it was written before them. Each item below was confirmed against the live App Store listing on the date shown:

• Loox added a free plan. For years it was the one major review app with no free option. The free Beginner plan is live (confirmed September 9, 2026).
• Stamped removed its free plan. Reviews now start at $23/month for 200 orders (confirmed September 9, 2026). Many older guides still list a free tier that does not exist.
• Fera removed its free plan. Entry is now $9/month, offset by a 60-day trial (confirmed September 9, 2026).
• Trustoo rebranded twice. It became TrustWILL earlier in 2026, and by our September 9, 2026 check the listing title read "CWILL (Trustoo) Product Reviews." Same app, same developer, same 4.9 rating.
• Ali Reviews renamed to "Ali Reviews: AI Product Review" (confirmed September 9, 2026).
• Rivyo relaunched as Rivyo and Loyalty, adding loyalty and referral add-ons (confirmed September 9, 2026).
• Junip's listing is now titled "Junip Product Reviews App & AI" and its rating sits at 4.8 (confirmed September 9, 2026).

Best Shopify Product Review Apps: Quick Comparison

All numbers below come straight from each app's Shopify App Store listing, verified live on September 9, 2026 — every one of the 17, not just the top picks, and not pulled from a cached list or last year's post. Where this update changed a figure or a badge from our August 12 edition, we say so rather than editing it silently.

About that Built for Shopify column: most lists claim every big review app carries the badge. We checked each listing's page on September 9, 2026, and seven of the 17 do not: Yotpo, Okendo, Stamped, Fera, REVIEWS.io, Opinew and Klaviyo. The badge means an app met Shopify's standards for performance, design, and admin integration. Its absence is not a dealbreaker — Okendo and Yotpo are still excellent apps — but no other guide on this topic actually checks, and it matters if listing-level performance vetting is part of your decision.

Accuracy Audit: What the Other "Best Review App" Lists Get Wrong

On September 9, 2026 we opened the live App Store listing for every app named in the two roundups that currently outrank this page, and compared their published figures against what the listing actually shows. Their numbers disagree with each other as often as they disagree with reality — which is the clearest sign that neither was checked recently.

1. Loox is overstated by roughly 2x in the most-linked guide. Charle credits it with 18,700+ reviews; the listing shows 9,563. Both guides also still price it at $9.99/month — a tier that no longer exists. The real ladder today is free, $49.99, $299.99. If you budgeted for Loox at $9.99 based on a list, you were going to be surprised.

2. A 2.7-star app is being recommended as a 4.5. Trustpilot is a genuinely major brand off-Shopify, and its listing is real — but on the Shopify App Store it holds 2.7 stars across 17 reviews. That is not a rounding error against the "4.5" being published.

3. Fera and Opinew are inflated roughly 3x. Fera at "5,700+" is really 2,024; Opinew at "1,600+" is really 621. Both are still decent apps — Fera especially — but a review count is the main proxy shoppers use for how proven an app is, and being wrong by 3x defeats the point of publishing it.

To be fair to both publishers: Charle's guide was last updated in February 2026 and Appbrew's in July, and App Store figures genuinely move fast — Judge.me alone gained roughly 5,700 reviews since Charle's update. That is exactly why we date-stamp every number on this page and re-check on each revision, and why we published our own badge correction above rather than quietly fixing it.

Loox Just Added a Free Plan (What It Actually Includes)

We first recorded this in our August edition and re-confirmed it on September 9. It matters because it changes the standard advice: for years the answer to "I want photo reviews but I have no budget" was "you can't have Loox." That is no longer true — and the guides ranking above this page have not caught up.

What this means practically: Loox's free tier is now a genuine competitor to Judge.me's free plan for visual-first brands, and it includes the SEO schema that used to be a paid-tier feature on several rivals. The catch is the jump: there is no cheap middle tier any more, so the step from free is $49.99, not $9.99. Judge.me still wins on value if you expect to outgrow a free plan — its paid tier is $15 — but if the free plan covers you, Loox's widgets are the better-looking set.

Verified against the live listing on September 9, 2026. If you are reading this months later, re-check — this is exactly the kind of thing that changes.

Why Reviews Matter (With a Real Source)

Research from the Spiegel Research Center at Northwestern University found that a product displaying its first five reviews is up to 270% more likely to be purchased than the same product with none. The same research found nearly 95% of shoppers read reviews before buying.

Reviews do three jobs for your store:

• They build trust with shoppers who have never heard of you.
• They put star ratings in Google search results, which lifts your click rate.
• They answer product questions before shoppers email your support team.

If your products have zero reviews, that is the first growth problem to fix.

Does Shopify Have a Built-In Review App?

No. Shopify shut down its free Product Reviews app in 2024. You need a third-party app from the App Store to collect and show reviews.

The upside is that third-party apps do far more than the old Shopify app ever did. Photo and video reviews, Google star ratings, automated requests, Amazon imports, and Q&A sections are all standard now.

How We Picked and Verified These Apps

This list is not based on memory or copied from other blogs. Here is the exact verification log:

• September 9, 2026: pulled the live rating, review count, pricing tiers, and free-plan limits for all 17 compared apps from their Shopify App Store listings — not from an aggregator or a competitor's post.
• September 9, 2026: re-verified Judge.me, Loox, Yotpo, Okendo, Stamped, and Junip; re-checked the apps that changed names this year (TrustWILL/CWILL, Ali Reviews, Rivyo); and audited all 17 listings for the Built for Shopify badge.
• September 9, 2026: verified the five "Also tested" apps further down (Opinew, Ryviu, LAI, Reputon, Klaviyo Reviews) against their live listings the same way.

Beyond the numbers, we compared free plans line by line, since that is where most lists get it wrong; weighed each app against what real stores search for (Klaviyo support, Shopify Plus features, headless and Hydrogen compatibility, review imports, and photo review tools); and read live Shopify Community and merchant forum threads to see what people actually get stuck on, not just what vendors advertise. Where a performance claim is someone else's — like the Spiegel conversion research above — we cite the source or leave it out.

Top 14 Best Shopify Product Review Apps (Detailed Reviews)

Here is the detailed breakdown. Each section covers what the free plan actually includes, where the app falls short, and who should pick it — no recycled vendor copy.

1. Judge.me – Best Overall Value (My #1 Pick for Most Stores)

Rating: 5.0 (46,633 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: Judge.me Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free plan, then Awesome plan at $15/month
Free trial: 15 days on the paid plan
Best for: Almost every store, from day one to scale

Judge.me is the most reviewed app in this entire category, and it holds a perfect 5.0 rating. It won a Shopify Build Award in 2025 and is featured again in the 2026 Build Awards. That combination is rare.

The reason is simple. The free plan gives away what most apps charge for.

What the Forever Free plan includes:

• Unlimited product and store reviews
• Unlimited photo and video reviews
• Review widget, star badges, and carousels
• Google rich snippets for stars in search results
• Sync with Shop App, Etsy, and Amazon
• Review importer with AliExpress sync

What the $15 Awesome plan adds:

• AI replies, summaries, and translations
• 130+ integrations, including Klaviyo and Gorgias
• 16 widgets, including Q&A and a full reviews page
• Coupons and referrals for reviewers
• Google Shopping, Meta, and TikTok Shop sync
• Custom CSS and full email design control

Where it falls short:

• No built-in loyalty program. You need a separate app like the ones in our best Shopify loyalty apps guide.
• The widgets look clean but plain. Loox and Fera look more polished out of the box.
• The free plan shows a small "Powered by Judge.me" badge.

Verdict: If you are not sure which app to pick, pick Judge.me. The free plan is good enough to run a real store on. The $15 plan is the cheapest full-featured option on this list.

2. Loox – Best for Photo & Video Reviews (Visual Brands)

Rating: 4.9 (9,563 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: Loox ‑ Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free Beginner plan, Convert at $49.99/month, Unlimited at $299.99/month
Free trial: 14 days on paid plans
Best for: Fashion, beauty, home decor, and any visual product

Loox built its name on one thing: gorgeous photo review galleries. The widgets look like an Instagram feed on your product page, and the review request emails push customers to upload photos with one tap.

The big news for 2026 is that Loox now has a free plan. For years it was the one major review app with no free option. That changed.

The free Beginner plan includes:

• 100 review request emails per month
• Discounts in exchange for photo reviews
• 17+ widgets
• Review importer
• Shop App syndication and SEO
• Works for stores up to 500 orders

The Convert plan ($49.99/month) adds:

• Video reviews
• AI smart sorting, review highlights, and translations
• AI Review Stories that turn reviews into social content
• Google, Meta, and TikTok syndication
• Referrals and full API access
• 300 orders included, then $50 per extra 300 orders

Where it falls short:

• Pricing jumps hard. There is nothing between free and $49.99.
• The usage charges add up fast for high-volume stores.
• Less flexible than Judge.me on integrations at lower tiers.

Verdict: If photos sell your product, Loox is worth it. Beauty, apparel, jewelry, and home brands get the most from it. If your product is not visual, the price is hard to justify over Judge.me.

3. Okendo – Best for Growing DTC Brands

Rating: 4.8 (1,423 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: Okendo: Reviews & Loyalty · Built for Shopify badge: No
Pricing: Free (50 orders/month), Essential at $19/month, Growth at $119/month, Power at $299/month
Free trial: 14 days
Best for: Scaling DTC brands, fashion, supplements, Shopify Plus

Okendo feels like it was built by people who run DTC brands. Its killer feature is review attributes. These are extra questions inside the review form, like "How does it fit?" or "How would you rate the taste?"

Shoppers can then filter reviews by those answers. Someone with oily skin can read only reviews from people with oily skin. Someone between sizes can see how many reviewers said "runs small."

What you get by plan:

• Free (50 orders/month): automated review requests, smart review form, rewards engine, review displays, Google SEO snippets, grouping, and moderation
• Essential ($19): everything in Free, up to 200 orders/month
• Growth ($119): up to 1,500 orders/month, AI review summaries, AI keywords, TikTok Shop integration, and the Q&A widget
• Power ($299): up to 3,500 orders/month, review campaigns, advanced CSS, email and SMS integrations, and managed onboarding

Where it falls short:

• Order-based pricing climbs as you grow.
• Q&A is locked behind the $119 Growth plan.
• Setup takes more thought than Judge.me.
• No Built for Shopify badge. We checked the listing on September 9, 2026 — unlike most apps here, Okendo's page does not carry it.

Verdict: For brands scaling past a few hundred orders a month, Okendo's attributes and data tools are worth the premium. Fashion and beauty brands get the most from review filtering.

4. Stamped.io – Best for Reviews Plus Loyalty in One

Rating: 4.7 (3,757 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: Stamped Reviews & Loyalty · Built for Shopify badge: No
Pricing: Reviews from $23/month, Loyalty from $299/month
Best for: Brands that want reviews and a rewards program from one vendor

Heads Up: Stamped Dropped Its Free Plan

Stamped no longer has a free plan. The Reviews product now starts at $23 a month for 200 orders. Many older guides still list a free tier that does not exist.

Current Reviews pricing:

• $23/month for 200 orders
• $99/month for 1,000 orders
• $199/month for 5,000 orders
• Custom plans above 20,000 orders

What Stamped does well:

• Strong SEO setup with Google Shopping and rich snippets
• Photo, video, and Q&A collection
• Email and SMS review requests
• Net Promoter Score surveys
• Loyalty programs with points, VIP tiers, and referrals (separate product)
• Klaviyo, Gorgias, and Recharge integrations

Where it falls short:

• No free plan anymore.
• $23 for 200 orders is pricier than Judge.me's $15 unlimited plan.
• The loyalty product starts at $299/month, which is enterprise pricing.

Verdict: Stamped is solid if you want reviews and loyalty managed by one vendor and you have the budget. If you only need reviews, Judge.me does more for less.

5. TrustWILL / CWILL (Formerly Trustoo): Best Budget Pick

Rating: 4.9 (1,572 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: CWILL (Trustoo) Product Reviews · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free (50 review requests), Starter at $11.99/month, Growth at $29.99/month
Free trial: 7 days
Best for: New stores and budget-conscious merchants

If you searched for Trustoo and could not find it, here is why: it rebranded to TrustWILL in 2026 — and by our September 9, 2026 check, the App Store listing title read "CWILL (Trustoo) Product Reviews." Same app, same developer history, second new name this year. Whatever it is called this quarter, the plans and pricing below are unchanged.

What you get by plan:

• Free: 50 order-based review requests, review imports, 6 reviews shown per product, discount codes, 24/7 chat support
• Starter ($11.99): 200 review requests, unlimited reviews shown, branded emails, Google snippets, review replies
• Growth ($29.99): 500 requests, Google Shopping, product grouping, video reviews, Q&A

Both paid plans add $5 per extra 100 orders.

Where it falls short:

• The free plan only shows 6 reviews per product, which is a real limit.
• Video reviews and Q&A need the $29.99 plan.
• Fewer integrations than the bigger apps.
• Two name changes in one year makes it harder to find and research.

Verdict: TrustWILL is a fair budget option with strong support and auto-translation for global stores. Just know the naming history so you install the right app.

6. Fera – Best Design & Social Proof Platform

Rating: 4.8 (2,024 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: Fera Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: No
Pricing: Startup at $9/month, Small at $29/month, Medium at $99/month, Semi-Large at $199/month
Free trial: 60 days, the longest on this list
Best for: Design-focused brands that want widgets to match their theme

Fera no longer has a free plan, which older guides still get wrong. But it offsets that with a 60-day free trial, by far the longest of any app here. Two full months is enough to actually measure results before paying.

What Fera does well:

• Clean, modern widgets that blend into minimal themes
• Photo and video reviews with generous customization
• A Q&A widget included even on the $9 plan
• Imports from multiple sources
• AI features from the $29 Small plan up

Plan limits to know:

• Startup ($9): 100 review requests/month, 100MB media storage
• Small ($29): 1,000 requests/month, custom email domains, product groups, AI features
• Medium ($99): 10,000 requests/month, multi-store sync

Where it falls short:

• No free plan.
• Request caps are low compared to Judge.me's unlimited $15 plan.
• Not built for enterprise volume.

Verdict: Fera is for brands where design is the brand. The $9 entry price with Q&A included is fair, and the 60-day trial removes the risk of trying it.

7. Ali Reviews (AI Product Review): Best for AliExpress Dropshipping

Rating: 4.8 (1,443 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: Ali Reviews: AI Product Review · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free, Basic at $14.95/month, Growth at $24.95/month, Advanced at $49.95/month
Free trial: 14 days
Best for: Dropshippers who need social proof on day one

The app now lists on the App Store as "Ali Reviews: AI Product Review" — same developer, new AI-forward name. It is built around one workflow: bulk-importing AliExpress reviews with AI cleanup and translation. The free plan includes unlimited AliExpress imports, though it only publishes 10 reviews per product.

What you get by plan:

• Free: unlimited AliExpress importing, 10 published reviews per product, unlimited email requests, AI bulk import, basic translation
• Basic ($14.95): 150 reviews per product, Amazon, eBay, Temu, and Etsy import sources, photo and video reviews, custom widgets, Q&A
• Growth ($24.95): 1,500 reviews per product, Google rich snippets, onboarding help

Where it falls short:

• Rich snippets need the $24.95 plan, which is steep for stars in search.
• Less useful once you stop dropshipping and collect your own reviews.

Verdict: For a new dropshipping store, Ali Reviews gets you from zero trust to a credible-looking catalog in a weekend. Established brands should look elsewhere.

8. Growave – Best Marketing Swiss Army Knife

Rating: 4.8 (1,291 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: Growave: Loyalty & Wishlist · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free Forever (200 orders/month), Entry at $15/month, Growth at $199/month, Plus at $499/month
Free trial: 14 days
Best for: Retention-focused brands that want three tools in one app

Growave bundles reviews, a loyalty points program, and wishlists together. The pricing also changed a lot this year, and mostly in your favor at the entry level.

What you get by plan:

• Free Forever: loyalty points, wishlist, and product reviews for up to 200 orders/month, with Growave branding
• Entry ($15): 500 orders/month, referral program with fraud protection, review request email series, on-site nudges, one premium integration like Klaviyo
• Growth ($199): 1,500 orders/month, VIP tiers, store credit, gift cards, review attributes, Google Shopping reviews

Where it falls short:

• The review tool alone is weaker than Judge.me or Okendo.
• The jump from $15 to $199 between tiers is brutal.
• Extra order charges stack up at volume.

Verdict: If you were going to install a reviews app, a loyalty app, and a wishlist app anyway, Growave's free and $15 tiers replace all three. Just go in knowing the reviews module is the weakest of the three tools.

9. Junip – Best for Headless/Hydrogen (Developer's Choice)

Rating: 4.8 (1,149 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: Junip Product Reviews App & AI · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free, Core at $29/month, Growth at $79/month, Premium at $299/month
Free trial: 7 days on paid plans
Best for: Fast stores, headless builds, and high-volume stores on a budget

Junip's free plan has a detail most people miss: it includes unlimited orders and unlimited review request emails. Judge.me's free plan is also unlimited, but Junip is the only other app on this list that matches it. On the App Store the listing is now titled "Junip Product Reviews App & AI."

Junip is also known for speed. The widgets are lightweight and built mobile-first, which matters for Core Web Vitals.

What you get by plan:

• Free: unlimited orders, unlimited review requests, mobile-first submissions, product page widgets, rich snippets
• Core ($29): media in review requests, incentives, replies, product grouping, live chat support
• Growth ($79): Google Shopping, TikTok Shop, Shop App and Meta Shops syndication, Klaviyo and Postscript integrations, custom attributes and filters
• Premium ($299): Junip AI with a sales agent and summaries, multi-store management, full API access

Where it falls short:

• Photo and video collection through requests needs a paid plan.
• Fewer pre-built integrations than Judge.me.
• Smaller company, smaller template library.

Verdict: Junip is the developer favorite and the best pick for headless or custom storefronts. The free plan is also a sleeper pick for high-volume stores that just need clean basics.

10. REVIEWS.io – Best for International/Multi-Region Stores

• Rating: 4.7 (758 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
• App Store listing: REVIEWS.io Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: No
• Pricing: Free (25 invites/month), Launch at $19/month, Launch Plus at $45/month, higher tiers available
• Free trial: 14 days
• Best for: Multi-language stores, Google Ads users, brands that want surveys

REVIEWS.io is a full feedback platform, not just a product review widget. It collects product reviews, company reviews, NPS surveys, and post-purchase surveys.

Its two standout strengths:

• Google Seller Ratings on a $19 plan. Your aggregate brand rating can show in Google Shopping and Google Ads, which usually costs far more elsewhere. Yotpo locks this behind its $119 Pro plan.
• Real multi-language support. Reviews are collected and shown in the shopper's language, not just auto-translated.

What you get by plan:

• Free: 25 monthly invites, product and company reviews, photo and video collection, basic widgets, Klaviyo integration, Shop App syndication
• Launch ($19): 50 invites, Google Seller Ratings, rich snippets, Review Booster for past customers, UGC manager, automated flows
• Launch Plus ($45): 500 invites, attributes, product grouping, surveys including NPS, AI review summaries

Where it falls short:

• Invite limits are tight. 50 invites on the $19 plan is low for active stores.
• The dashboard feels corporate next to Loox or Fera.
• Some billing happens outside Shopify, which surprises some merchants.
• No Built for Shopify badge — one of seven apps in this guide without it, per our September 9, 2026 listing check.

Verdict: Pick REVIEWS.io if you sell in multiple countries or run heavy Google Ads. The Seller Ratings value at $19 is the best in this category.

11. Yotpo – Best for Enterprise + Loyalty Integration

Rating: 4.8 (4,634 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: Yotpo: Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: No
Pricing: Free plan (50 orders/month), Starter at $15/month, Pro at $119/month, custom enterprise plans
Best for: Large brands, Shopify Plus, omnichannel retail

Yotpo is the enterprise standard. It is more than reviews. The full platform covers loyalty, SMS, email, and subscriptions, and large brands often run several Yotpo products together.

Standout features:

• Google Seller Ratings, so your brand stars show in Google Ads (Pro plan)
• AI review summaries and smart sorting
• Custom review questions
• Sentiment and profanity checks on every plan, including free
• Review syndication to Google Shopping and social channels
• 24/7 technical support on Pro

Pricing notes you should know:

• The free plan caps at 50 monthly orders.
• Starter ($15) and Pro ($119) prices scale up with your order volume.
• Yotpo can bill some charges outside your Shopify invoice.

Where it falls short:

• It gets expensive fast at volume.
• The platform is complex. Small teams often use a fraction of it.
• The free plan is too limited for anything beyond testing.
• No Built for Shopify badge. We verified this on the listing itself on September 9, 2026, despite what most roundups assume.

Verdict: Yotpo makes sense when you need reviews, loyalty, and SMS under one roof with real support behind it. For stores under roughly $1M a year, Judge.me or Okendo delivers more value per dollar.

12. Rivyo – Best Budget + Marketplace Import Specialist

Rating: 4.9 (929 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: Rivyo ‑ Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Indie plan free to install, Starter at $9/month, Business at $14/month, Enterprise at $19/month
Free trial: 7 days
Best for: Sellers moving from Amazon to Shopify, and dropshippers

Rivyo relaunched as Rivyo and Loyalty, and its import tools are the draw. Paste an Amazon or AliExpress product URL, filter by star rating, and pull reviews onto your Shopify product page in minutes.

What you get by plan:

• Indie (free): unlimited product reviews, unlimited CSV imports, automated requests, replies, Google rich snippets, 100 Amazon or AliExpress imports, reviews from 100 orders/month
• Starter ($9): 500 orders/month, unlimited photo reviews, unlimited Q&A, store reviews, auto reminders, 500 marketplace imports
• Business ($14) and Enterprise ($19): higher limits across the board

Loyalty and referral programs are available as $9/month add-ons.

One honest warning: only import reviews for the exact products you sell. Importing reviews for different products misleads shoppers and can get your store flagged.

Verdict: If you already sell on Amazon and want your reviews on Shopify, Rivyo is the cheapest clean way to do it.

13. Vitals – Best 40+ Apps in One Bundle

Rating: 4.9 (2,953 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: Vitals: Reviews, Bundles & 40+ · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: $29.99/month for everything, with additional usage charges as your store grows
Free trial: 7 days
Best for: Stores that want 40+ tools in one app

Vitals is not a review app. It is 40+ apps in one, and reviews are one of them. The bundle includes product reviews with AliExpress import, upsells, bundles, sticky add to cart, wishlists, visitor recordings, pop-ups, and AI marketing tools.

The reviews module covers:

• Photo reviews and star ratings
• Import from AliExpress, CSV, and other review apps
• Email review requests
• Carousels, badges, and an all-reviews page
• Google rich snippets

Where it falls short:

• No Q&A in the reviews module.
• No video reviews.
• "Additional charges apply as your store generates revenue," per the listing. Read the pricing page before you commit.
• Each tool is good, but none is best in class.

Verdict: If you are currently paying for four or five separate apps, Vitals at $29.99 can replace them. If you only need reviews, Judge.me free or $15 is the better deal.

14. AG Product Reviews (formerly Air Reviews) – Highest-Rated Free App

Rating: 5.0/5 (3,155 reviews) · Verified Sept 9, 2026
App Store listing: AG Product Reviews App & UGC · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free
Best for: Stores that want a genuinely free, well-rated reviews app and nothing more

Correction to our previous edition: we listed this app among the "also considered" and said it did not make a strong enough case. Re-checking the listing, that was a bad call. At 5.0 stars across 3,155 reviews with a Built for Shopify badge, it is the highest-rated app in this entire guide and the largest free-only review app on the App Store. It has since been renamed from Air Reviews to AG Product Reviews App & UGC, which is part of why it slipped past us.

What it does: photo and video reviews, import tools, star ratings on collection and product pages, and customisable widgets — all on a free plan. What it does not do: the deep automation, segmentation and loyalty tie-ins that Judge.me, Loox and Stamped offer as you scale. There is no paid tier to grow into, which is either the point or the limitation depending on your store.

Judge.me vs AG Product Reviews: Judge.me remains our overall pick because its free plan is deeper (unlimited review requests, Q&A, richer integrations) and it has a $15 paid tier when you outgrow it. Pick AG if you want something simple, free and highly rated, and you do not expect to need automation later.

Also Tested: 6 More Review Apps and Where They Sit

Other roundups pad their lists with these apps. We checked each against its live listing on September 9, 2026:

• Reputon Customer Reviews App — 4.9 (1,171 reviews), free plan, paid from $9.99/month, Built for Shopify. It does a different job: nudging customers to leave Trustpilot, Google and Etsy reviews for your brand rather than collecting product reviews on your store. Useful alongside a product-review app, not instead of one.
• Opinew Product Reviews App UGC — 4.7 (621 reviews), free plan, paid from $19/month, no Built for Shopify badge. Genuinely strong Amazon, eBay and AliExpress import tools. Worth noting that the most-linked competing guide credits Opinew with "1,600+" reviews; the listing shows 621.
• LAI Product Reviews App — 4.9 (542 reviews), free plan, Built for Shopify. Imports from Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Temu, and even Judge.me and Loox. Held back by a smaller merchant base than the leaders.
• Ryviu: Loyalty & Reviews App — 4.8 (516 reviews), free plan, paid from $6.99/month — the cheapest paid plan in this category — with a Built for Shopify badge. Missed the top tier on footprint, not quality.
• TrustShop: Product Reviews — 4.9 (357 reviews), free plan, paid from $9.90/month, Built for Shopify. Newer and smaller, but imports from AliExpress, Amazon, Judge.me, Loox, Tydal and Trustoo, which makes it a low-friction migration target.
• AiT (AiTrillion): Loyalty, Review, WhatsApp — 4.9 (307 reviews), free plan, paid from $19/month, no Built for Shopify badge. An all-in-one retention suite rather than a focused reviews app.

One to approach carefully: Trustpilot. At least one widely-shared roundup lists Trustpilot as a 4.5-star recommendation. Trustpilot is a major review platform off-Shopify, but its own Shopify app holds 2.7 stars across 17 reviews as of September 9, 2026. If you want Trustpilot reviews displayed on Shopify, the third-party connector apps are generally better rated than the official listing — check the current numbers yourself before installing either.

What These Apps Really Cost at 200, 1,000, and 5,000 Orders a Month

"From $X/month" pricing hides the real number, because half these apps charge by order volume. Here is the true monthly cost at three store sizes, computed from each app's published plan caps and overage rates as of August 2026:

How to read this: Judge.me and Junip charge flat rates with no order caps, so their price does not move as you grow. TrustWILL adds $5 per extra 100 orders on top of its Growth plan. Loox includes 300 orders on Convert, then $50 per extra 300, until the $299.99 Unlimited plan becomes the cheaper option. Okendo and Stamped step through defined tiers. Yotpo publishes base prices that scale with order volume, so budget for a quote at 1,000+ orders. No other guide on this topic normalizes cost by volume — and it changes the ranking: at 5,000 orders a month, Judge.me costs $15 and Loox costs $299.99.

Pair Your Reviews With Cart Upsells (Full Disclosure: This Is Our App)

Reviews build trust. But trust alone does not lift average order value — what a shopper sees in the two seconds before they click "add to cart" or open the cart drawer does.

We built Oxify Cart Drawer & Upsells for that exact moment. It is not a review app, which is why it is not ranked in the 13 above. But once one of the apps above is collecting star ratings, showing them next to an in-cart upsell or cross-sell offer is one of the highest-leverage places to put that trust to work.

What Oxify Cart Drawer & Upsells actually is:

• 4.9 rating from 39 merchants, Built for Shopify
• Plans start at $9.99/month, with a 14-day free trial
• Cart drawer upsells, product page and post-purchase upsells, and thank-you-page upsells in one app
• Runs alongside any review app on this list. The review widget stays on the product page; Oxify lives in the cart

If you already run Judge.me, Loox, or any app above, adding Oxify is a five-minute install, not a migration or a rip-and-replace.

Head-to-Head: Judge.me vs Loox vs Stamped vs Okendo vs Yotpo

These five apps come up in almost every comparison. Here is the short version of how they stack up, based on live August 2026 data.

On price: Judge.me wins at every store size — free or $15 flat while the other four either charge more ($23 Stamped, $49.99 Loox) or scale with order volume (Okendo, Yotpo). The true-cost table above shows the gap widening as you grow.

On photo and video reviews:

Loox wins. Its galleries, one-tap photo uploads, and photo-for-discount flow are still the best in the category. Judge.me and Okendo handle photos well but do not push customers to upload them the way Loox does.

On review data and filtering:

Okendo wins. Attributes like fit, skin type, and effectiveness turn reviews into a filterable research tool. This matters most for fashion, beauty, and supplements.

On SEO and Google features:

It is close. All five support rich snippets. Yotpo Pro and Stamped add Google Seller Ratings and deep Google Shopping feeds. If Seller Ratings are the goal, also look at REVIEWS.io, which includes them at $19.

On enterprise scale:

Yotpo wins. Dedicated account management, a full loyalty and SMS suite, and syndication everywhere. You pay for it, but it is built for that level.

Yotpo vs Junip: The Speed-vs-Suite Matchup

This comparison comes up constantly, and the two apps could not be more different. Pick Junip if you care about site speed (its widgets are lighter), run a headless or custom storefront (its API and components are built for it), or want unlimited review requests on a free plan with flat paid pricing — $29, $79, or $299, no per-order math.

Pick Yotpo if you want reviews, loyalty, SMS, and email from one vendor, need Google Seller Ratings and enterprise syndication, and have the team and budget to use a big platform properly on Shopify Plus. For most stores under enterprise scale, Junip gives you more speed and less cost. Yotpo earns its price when you actually use the wider platform.

Which Review App Should You Choose?

Match the app to your situation instead of reading more reviews of review apps:

• Brand new store or small business with no budget: Judge.me free. Done.
• Dropshipping: Ali Reviews for AliExpress, Rivyo for Amazon.
• Fashion, beauty, or home decor: Loox for galleries, Okendo for filtering by fit or skin type.
• Scaling DTC brand: Okendo, or Stamped if you want loyalty bundled in.
• Enterprise or Shopify Plus: Yotpo, Okendo Power, or Junip Premium.
• Selling in multiple languages: REVIEWS.io, with Judge.me's auto-translation as the budget option.
• Headless or custom storefront, or you need a clean API: Junip.
• Cheapest paid plan that covers the basics: Rivyo or Fera at $9, or TrustWILL at $11.99.
• Replacing five apps with one: Vitals or Growave.

Leaving Yotpo or Loox? Direct Alternatives

These two apps drive the most "alternative" searches. Leaving Yotpo: Judge.me if cost is the reason ($15 flat versus volume-based pricing), Okendo for DTC-grade features without the full platform, or REVIEWS.io if Google Seller Ratings were your main reason — you get them at $19 instead of $119. Leaving Loox: Fera for polished visual widgets at $9 with a 60-day trial, Judge.me for free photo and video reviews with no email caps, or Okendo for visual reviews plus attribute filtering.

Switching is easier than it sounds. Judge.me imports reviews directly from Yotpo, Loox, Stamped, and Ali Reviews, so you can migrate without losing your review history.

Do These Apps Work Outside Shopify?

A common question from brands that run more than one storefront. Most apps on this list are Shopify-only, but a few work across platforms. Verified from each vendor's own site:

• Judge.me: Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Wix, and Squarespace
• Yotpo: Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce (Magento), and Salesforce Commerce Cloud
• REVIEWS.io: Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, and custom platforms through its API
• Fera: Shopify, Wix, and BigCommerce
• Shopify-only: Loox, Okendo, Junip, TrustWILL, Rivyo, Ali Reviews, Growave, and Vitals

If you sell on Shopify plus another platform and want one review system across both, Judge.me, Yotpo, or REVIEWS.io are your realistic options. If you are on Magento or Adobe Commerce, that narrows to Yotpo or REVIEWS.io.

Which Apps Push Reviews to Google Shopping?

Star ratings in Google Shopping ads and free listings need a review feed to Google Merchant Center. Here is where that feature sits in each app's pricing:

• Yotpo: Google Shopping Ads on the $15 Starter plan, Google Seller Ratings on the $119 Pro plan
• Judge.me: Google Shopping on the $15 Awesome plan
• REVIEWS.io: Google Seller Ratings and Google Shopping on the $19 Launch plan, the cheapest path to Seller Ratings on this list
• TrustWILL: Google Shopping on the $29.99 Growth plan
• Loox: Google syndication on the $49.99 Convert plan
• Junip: Google Shopping on the $79 Growth plan
• Okendo and Stamped: Google Shopping feeds included in their core review products

Rich snippets (stars in regular search results) are different and cheaper. Judge.me, Junip, and Okendo include them free.

Best Review Apps for Shopify Plus

Plus stores have different needs: volume pricing, APIs, checkout extensibility, and real support. The strongest picks:

• Okendo: The Power plan ($299) covers 3,500 orders/month with managed onboarding, review campaigns, and email and SMS integrations. Okendo built its reputation on Plus-level DTC brands.
• Yotpo: Custom enterprise plans, Seller Ratings, and the deepest syndication network. The default at true enterprise scale.
• Junip Premium ($299): Multi-store management, full API, and Junip AI. The best fit for Plus stores running headless or custom frontends.
• Stamped: Custom plans above 20,000 orders, plus NPS surveys and a loyalty product if you want one vendor.

Do Review Apps Work on Headless or Hydrogen Storefronts?

This question comes up constantly in developer threads, and most "best review app" lists skip it entirely.

Most review apps ship as a Shopify theme app extension. That works fine on Online Store 2.0 themes, but it does nothing on a headless build or a custom Hydrogen storefront, because there is no theme for the widget to inject into.

• Junip is built for this. It ships documented API endpoints and React-friendly components specifically for headless and Hydrogen storefronts. It is the only app on this list purpose-built for that use case, which is also why it is our pick for Shopify Plus stores running custom frontends.
• Yotpo and Judge.me both expose REST or GraphQL APIs that developers can call directly, but you are building the display layer yourself rather than dropping in a widget.
• Okendo, Loox, Stamped, and most smaller apps on this list assume a standard Shopify theme. Expect real engineering work, or expect the widget simply not to render, on a fully custom storefront.

If you are shipping headless, shortlist Junip first and budget developer time for whichever alternative you pick instead.

Review Apps That Work With Klaviyo and Other Email Platforms

If Klaviyo or another email platform runs your marketing, your review app should feed it data. Here is where Klaviyo support sits in each app's pricing:

• REVIEWS.io: Klaviyo integration on the free plan. The cheapest way to get it.
• Judge.me: Included in the $15 Awesome plan, along with 130+ other integrations.
• Okendo: Deep Klaviyo sync, with email and SMS integrations expanding on higher tiers.
• Junip: Klaviyo and Postscript integrations on the $79 Growth plan.
• Stamped: Klaviyo listed as a core integration on paid plans.
• Loox: Klaviyo integration available, with API access from the $49.99 Convert plan.

There is also a fourth option most lists miss: Klaviyo now makes its own review app. Klaviyo Reviews (4.8 rating, free up to 50 orders/month, then $25/month) keeps reviews natively inside your flows and segments — see the "Also tested" section above for the trade-offs.

The common play: trigger a Klaviyo flow when a customer leaves a review, segment reviewers from non-reviewers, and pull five-star quotes into your campaign emails. If you use Omnisend instead, Loox, Judge.me, and Vitals all list it as a supported integration.

How to Import or Migrate Reviews From Amazon, AliExpress, and Etsy

Starting from zero reviews is the hardest part. If you already sell on a marketplace, you can bring those reviews with you.

From Amazon:

• Rivyo: 100 imports free, 500 on the $9 plan
• Judge.me: Amazon sync included on the free plan
• Ali Reviews: Amazon unlocked on the $14.95 Basic plan

From AliExpress:

• Ali Reviews: unlimited importing on the free plan
• Judge.me: AliExpress sync on the free plan
• Rivyo and Vitals: both support it

From Etsy:

• Judge.me: Etsy sync included free
• Ali Reviews: Etsy on the Basic plan

One rule applies everywhere: only import reviews for the exact same product you sell. Anything else is fake social proof, and shoppers and platforms both catch it.

What Is the Best Free Product Review App for Shopify?

If you are searching for the best free product review app for Shopify, the honest answer is short: Judge.me, with Junip as the only real alternative. They are the only two free plans with no order or request caps. Every other "free plan" here is really a trial with a monthly ceiling, which is fine for testing but not for running a store.

Free plans also moved around a lot this year. Here is the current state:

The takeaway: run a real store on Judge.me or Junip free; use every other free tier as an extended test drive before committing to the paid plan.

Can You Buy Shopify Reviews? (And What Happens If You Do)

Short answer: no — and every route to doing it violates policy somewhere. This comes up constantly, so it is worth answering directly rather than pretending nobody asks.

There are two different things people mean by "buying Shopify reviews," and both are problems:

1. Buying product reviews for your store. Fake reviews breach Shopify's Acceptable Use Policy, and in the US the FTC's Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials — effective October 21, 2024 — makes buying, selling or writing fake consumer reviews subject to civil penalties, with a maximum of $53,088 per violation as of 2026 for knowing violators. Google treats fabricated review content as spam under its policies on scaled content abuse and misrepresentation, and structured-data markup for reviews that were never left by real customers is a rich-results violation that can remove your rich snippets entirely. The practical consequence most stores hit first is the least dramatic one: Google strips your star ratings from search results, which is exactly the benefit you installed a review app to get.

2. Buying reviews for a Shopify app listing (if you are an app developer). Shopify's Partner Program terms prohibit incentivised or fraudulent App Store reviews, and enforcement includes review removal and listing suspension. This is a real part of why review counts in this category move so unpredictably — a point worth remembering whenever a list quotes a number without a date.

The trap almost nobody mentions: hiding bad reviews is also covered. The same FTC rule prohibits suppressing negative reviews — and most review apps in this guide ship with an auto-publish threshold that lets you hold back anything under, say, 4 stars. Using moderation to remove spam, profanity or off-topic posts is fine. Configuring an app to systematically bury genuine negative reviews is the behaviour the rule targets, and it is a setting you can switch on in about two clicks without realising what it means. Check your app's auto-publish rules before you check anything else.

What to do instead. Every app in this guide has automated review-request emails on its free plan, which is the legitimate version of the same goal. The highest-leverage settings, in order: send the request 7–14 days after delivery rather than after purchase; ask for a photo and offer a small discount for it (allowed — you are incentivising the act of reviewing, not a positive rating); and reply publicly to negative reviews. A store with 40 genuine reviews averaging 4.6 converts better than one with 400 suspiciously uniform five-stars, because shoppers actively look for negative reviews — and Google reads the same signals.

One legitimate shortcut: importing reviews you already earned elsewhere. If you sell on Amazon, AliExpress, Etsy or eBay, apps like Rivyo, Opinew and LAI import genuine reviews of your own products. Those are real customer reviews moving platforms — not purchased ones. Do not import reviews for products you do not sell, which is where dropshipping stores usually cross the line.

5 Mistakes Stores Make With Review Apps

Picking the app is half the job. These setup mistakes waste the other half:

1. Leaving review requests on the default timing. Send requests after delivery, not after the order. A request that arrives before the package does gets ignored or earns a one-star "it has not arrived yet" review.
2. Not offering anything for photo reviews. A small discount for a photo review multiplies your visual content. Loox, Judge.me, and Okendo all support this natively.
3. Hiding negative reviews. A wall of perfect five-star reviews reads as fake. Reply to critical reviews publicly instead. Shoppers trust a 4.7 with honest replies more than a silent 5.0.
4. Forgetting rich snippets. Stars in Google search results are often the single biggest traffic win from a review app, and on Judge.me, Junip, and Okendo they cost nothing. Check Google's Rich Results Test after setup.
5. Collecting reviews and showing them in only one place. Product pages are the start. Add review carousels to your homepage, star ratings to collection pages, and trust signals to your cart drawer.

Make Your Reviews Work Harder After You Collect Them

Most stores show reviews on the product page and stop there. Two easy wins go further:

Show ratings where buying decisions happen. Star ratings next to upsell and cross-sell offers lift trust at the exact moment a shopper decides to add one more item. See the cart-upsell pairing section above for the app we built for that moment. Our guide on trust badges in the cart drawer covers the same idea.

Reuse review content everywhere. Quote your best reviews in ads, emails, and landing pages. A real customer sentence beats any headline you write yourself. Reviews bring the trust; pairing them with smart upsell apps turns that trust into a higher average order value.

FAQ

Final Verdict

Start with Judge.me unless you have a specific reason not to. The free plan covers a real store, the $15 plan covers almost everything else, and 46,633 merchant reviews at a 5.0 rating back that up.

Pick a specialist when your situation calls for one: Loox for visuals, Okendo for scaling DTC, Yotpo for enterprise, Junip for speed, and REVIEWS.io for international.

Then put those reviews to work. Install your pick this week, turn on automated requests, and let every order start building your social proof.
