Best Shopify Review Apps (2026): 17 Compared on Free Plans & Real Cost

Short answer: Judge.me is the best Shopify review app for most stores: 5.0 stars across more than 48,000 reviews, a free plan with unlimited reviews, photos and videos, and one paid plan at $15 a month. Pick Loox if photos sell your product, Okendo or Yotpo once you are on Shopify Plus, and Klaviyo Reviews if Klaviyo already runs your email.

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.

Best Shopify Review App by Situation

Key Facts (Verified Against Live Listings on October 5, 2026)

• Only three free plans had no order cap that we could find: Judge.me, Junip and AG Product Reviews. One caveat on AG: its App Store page showed "This app is not currently available on the Shopify App Store" on October 11, 2026, so confirm it can be installed before you plan around it (see entry 14). Okendo, Yotpo and Klaviyo Reviews stop at 50 orders a month, Growave at 200, and Loox at stores of 500 orders.
• Two well-known apps have no free plan any more: Stamped (from $23/month) and Fera (from $9/month with a 60-day trial). Several roundups still list one.
• Loox has a free plan, and the paid ladder is $49.99 then $299.99. Guides that quote "$9.99/month" describe a tier that no longer exists.
• Ten of the 17 apps carry the Built for Shopify badge; seven do not: Yotpo, Okendo, Stamped, Fera, REVIEWS.io, Opinew and Klaviyo Reviews.
• Judge.me is Shopify-only now. It sunset its WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace and other non-Shopify apps between October 2025 and January 2026, so older "works on every platform" claims are out of date.
• Among the 17 apps, Google Shopping syndication is a paid feature wherever it is listed, from $14/month on Rivyo and $15 on Judge.me and Yotpo Starter up to $79 on Junip. Free plans give you star-rating rich snippets, not Shopping feeds.

What Is the Best Free Product Review App for Shopify?

Judge.me is the best free review app for Shopify, with AG Product Reviews and Junip as the other two plans without order caps. (AG's App Store listing showed "not currently available" on October 11, 2026; see Key Facts.) Judge.me's free plan has unlimited product and store reviews, unlimited photo and video reviews, Google rich snippets and review importers. Every other free plan on this list is really a capped starter tier, which is fine for testing and for very small stores. Here is each free plan as it stands on the live listing:

The takeaway: run a real store on Judge.me or Junip free (AG too, if its listing is installable again); treat every other free tier as a test drive. Free plans also hold back the features that move money: the Google Shopping feed, AI summaries and the Klaviyo connection are paid almost everywhere.

What Loox's Free Plan Actually Includes

The free Beginner plan covers stores up to 500 orders and includes review-request emails and reminders, discounts for photo reviews, 17+ widgets, Google rich snippets and schema, Shop app syndication, and tools that turn reviews into social posts. Video reviews, AI and Google, Meta and TikTok syndication are on Convert ($49.99/month; 300 orders included, then $50 per extra 300); Unlimited is $299.99. The catch is the jump: no cheap middle tier, so the step up from free is $49.99, not $9.99.

Best Shopify Product Review Apps Compared (17 Apps)

Every figure below comes from each app's own Shopify App Store listing, read live on October 5, 2026: rating and review count from the listing's structured data, plans from the pricing section, and the Built for Shopify badge from the listing header. None of it is copied from another blog. One listing changed after that read: AG Product Reviews showed "not currently available" on October 11, 2026 (details under entry 14).

About the Built for Shopify column: the badge means Shopify reviewed the app against its standards for performance, design and admin integration. Its absence is not a dealbreaker (Okendo and Yotpo are excellent apps), but most roundups imply every major review app has it, and seven of these 17 do not. We read the badge from each app's own listing header, not the "similar apps" strip further down the page, which is where that mistake usually comes from.

Renames to Know (So You Install the Right App)

Four listings changed names this year, which is why searches miss them. Confirmed on the live listings on October 5, 2026: Trustoo is now "CWILL(Trustoo) Product Reviews" (it was TrustWILL in between); Air Reviews is "AG Product Reviews App & UGC"; and the other two are "Ali Reviews: AI Product Review" and "Junip Product Reviews App & AI".

How We Compared and Verified These Apps

This list is not copied from other blogs, and we have not installed and run every app on it. It is a verification exercise against primary sources. On October 5, 2026 we:

• read the live Shopify App Store listing of all 17 compared apps (plus five more we mention) and recorded rating and review count (from the listing's structured data), plan names, prices, plan features and the Built for Shopify badge (from the listing header);
• checked the vendors' own pricing pages (Judge.me, Junip, Okendo, Yotpo) and the Loox help center for the Klaviyo claims, Judge.me's announcement for the platform sunsets, and the FTC and Google documentation for the fake-review section;
• compared the figures in the roundups that rank for this query with the listings (see the accuracy audit below).

Re-check, October 11, 2026: we re-read nine listings (Judge.me, Loox, Okendo, Yotpo, Junip, Klaviyo Reviews, Growave, Stamped and AG Product Reviews). For the eight that were live, ratings and Built for Shopify badges were unchanged, the free and entry plans and prices we compare were unchanged, and review counts had moved by between 5 fewer (Stamped) and 373 more (Judge.me, 47,969 to 48,342). AG Product Reviews showed "This app is not currently available on the Shopify App Store" and no rating. The tables keep the October 5 figures so every row is read on the same day; we did not re-read the other listings.

Not covered: we did not benchmark page speed, measure support response times or run A/B tests, and where a claim is a vendor's ("built for speed") we say so. The apps are ordered by how many stores they suit, not by a score. Oxify is not ranked (see the disclosure above).

Why Reviews Matter (With a Real Source)

The Spiegel Research Center at Northwestern University found that the purchase likelihood for a product with five reviews is 270% greater than for a product with none, with a stronger effect on higher-priced products. It also found purchase likelihood peaks at 4.0 to 4.7 stars and dips as ratings approach 5.0, because shoppers distrust a perfect score. Reviews also put stars in Google results and answer product questions before they reach your support inbox.

Does Shopify Have a Built-In Review App?

No. Shopify shut down its free Product Reviews app in 2024, so you need a third-party app to collect and display reviews. They do far more than the old app did: photo and video reviews, Google star ratings, automated requests, marketplace imports and Q&A.

The 17 Best Shopify Product Review Apps (Pros, Cons and Who Should Skip Each)

Each entry covers what the plans really include, where the app falls short and who should skip it, verified against the live listing on October 5, 2026. The first 14 are ordered by how many stores they suit; entries 15 to 17 are shorter.

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

Rating: 5.0 (47,969 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Judge.me Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free forever plan, then Awesome at $15/month (15-day free trial)
Best for: Almost every store, from day one to scale

Judge.me is the most-reviewed app in this category, with a 5.0 rating, and its free plan gives away what most apps charge for: unlimited product and store reviews, unlimited photo and video reviews, widgets and carousels, Google rich snippets, Shop app, Etsy and Amazon sync, and a review importer with AliExpress sync. 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, Google Shopping, Meta and TikTok Shop sync, and custom CSS and email design.

Pros:

• Unlimited reviews, requests, photos and videos on the free plan
• One flat paid plan with no order tiers
• Klaviyo and 130+ other integrations on the $15 plan

Cons:

• No built-in loyalty program; see our best Shopify loyalty apps
• Widgets are clean but plain next to Loox or Fera, and the free plan carries Judge.me branding
• Q&A and the Google Shopping feed need the paid plan (merchants also place product grouping there), and it is now Shopify-only

Skip it if you want loyalty in the same app or heavy design control.

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

Rating: 4.9 (9,754 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Loox ‑ Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free Beginner plan (up to 500 orders), Convert at $49.99/month, Unlimited at $299.99/month (14-day trial on paid plans)
Best for: Fashion, beauty, home decor and any visual product

Loox is built around photo review galleries, with request emails that push customers to upload photos and a photo-for-discount flow. The free Beginner plan is covered in the free-plan section above. Convert adds video reviews, AI smart sorting, highlights, summaries, translations and replies, reviews on product bundles, referrals, Google, Meta and TikTok syndication, and integrations, API access and webhooks (the Klaviyo connection starts here). It includes 300 orders, then $50 per extra 300.

Pros:

• A free tier for stores up to 500 orders, with photo-review discounts
• Visual-first widgets and request flow
• Google, Meta and TikTok syndication in one plan

Cons:

• Nothing between free and $49.99
• Per-300-order overage adds up for high-volume stores
• Video reviews, AI and Klaviyo are all on the paid tier

Skip it if your product is not visual: Judge.me gives you more for less.

3. Okendo – Best for Growing DTC Brands

Rating: 4.8 (1,427 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Okendo: Reviews & Loyalty · Built for Shopify badge: No
Pricing: Free (50 orders/month), Essential $19/month (200 orders), Growth $119/month (1,500 orders), Power $299/month (3,500 orders); 14-day trial on paid plans
Best for: Scaling DTC brands, fashion, supplements, Shopify Plus

Okendo's headline feature is review attributes: extra questions in the review form such as "How does it fit?" that shoppers can then filter by. The free plan covers automated requests, a smart review form, a rewards engine, displays, Google SEO snippets, review grouping and moderation. Growth adds AI review summaries and keywords, TikTok Shop and the Q&A widget; Power adds review campaigns, an advanced CSS editor, email and SMS integrations, advanced reporting and managed onboarding. Per Okendo's pricing page, Klaviyo is a paid add-on on lower tiers and included from Power. It also publishes an official Hydrogen package for headless stores.

Pros:

• Attribute filtering suits fashion, beauty and supplements
• Free plan with Google snippets and grouping
• Plus-grade tiers up to 3,500 orders, plus a Hydrogen package

Cons:

• Pricing climbs with order volume ($19 to $119 to $299)
• Q&A and AI summaries sit on the $119 plan
• No Built for Shopify badge on its listing

Skip it if you are under a few hundred orders a month and only need stars: Judge.me free is simpler.

4. Stamped – Best for Reviews Plus Loyalty from One Vendor

Rating: 4.7 (3,757 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Stamped Reviews & Loyalty · Built for Shopify badge: No
Pricing: No free plan. Reviews $23/month (200 orders), $99 (1,000 orders), $199 (5,000 orders); Loyalty $299/month
Best for: Brands that want reviews and a rewards program from one vendor

Stamped no longer has a free plan, which many older guides still miss. Every Reviews tier lists in-email review collection, customizable widgets, photo and video collection, and Google, Klaviyo and other integrations; the listing also mentions Q&A, email and SMS requests, Google Shopping and rich snippets, and Gorgias and Recharge. Loyalty (points, VIP tiers, referrals) is a separate product.

Pros:

• Klaviyo and Google integrations on every Reviews plan, with Gorgias and Recharge also listed
• Reviews and loyalty from one vendor
• A clear volume ladder up to 5,000 orders

Cons:

• No free plan; $23 for 200 orders versus Judge.me's $15 with no order tiers
• Loyalty starts at $299/month
• No Built for Shopify badge on its listing

Skip it if you only need reviews: Judge.me does more for less.

5. CWILL (Trustoo / TrustWILL) – Best Budget Pick

Rating: 4.9 (1,571 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: CWILL(Trustoo) Product Reviews · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free (shows 6 reviews per product), Essential $11.99/month, Pro $29.99/month (7-day trial)
Best for: New stores and budget-conscious merchants

If you searched for Trustoo and could not find it: it rebranded to TrustWILL and then CWILL, and the listing now reads "CWILL(Trustoo) Product Reviews". The free plan has unlimited product and store reviews and 10+ widgets but displays only 6 reviews per product. Essential adds unlimited displayed reviews, Google snippets, branded emails, replies and auto-translation of one language; Pro adds Google Shopping, video review collection, multi-language translation, integrations and API, and product grouping. The listing also cites 24/7 chat support and 20 languages. Its order-based overage is no longer published on the listing, so check the vendor page before budgeting at volume.

Pros:

• The cheapest ramp to Google snippets ($11.99)
• Built for Shopify, with 24/7 chat support
• 10+ free widgets

Cons:

• Free plan shows only 6 reviews per product
• Video reviews, Google Shopping and grouping need $29.99
• Klaviyo is not listed under "Works with"; two renames make it harder to research

Skip it if you want the free plan to show every review: use Judge.me.

6. Fera – Best Design & Social Proof Platform

Rating: 4.8 (2,027 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Fera Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: No
Pricing: No free plan. Startup $9/month (200 orders), Small $29 (2,000 orders), Medium $99 (20,000 orders), Semi-Large $199 (50,000 orders); 60-day free trial
Best for: Design-focused brands that want widgets to match their theme

Fera has no free plan, which older guides get wrong, but it offsets that with a 60-day free trial, the longest on this list. Even the $9 Startup plan lists a Q&A widget, unlimited integrations, AI features, 100 review requests a month and 100MB of photo and video storage. Small adds 1,000 requests, custom email domains and product groups; Medium adds multi-store sync. The listing shows Klaviyo, Smile.io, Google, Etsy, Facebook and AliExpress under "Works with".

Pros:

• Q&A and AI features on the $9 plan
• 60-day trial
• Cheap at scale: $99 covers up to 20,000 orders

Cons:

• No free plan
• Request caps are tight (100 a month on $9, 1,000 on $29)
• No Built for Shopify badge on its listing

Skip it if you want a permanent free plan.

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

Rating: 4.8 (1,431 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Ali Reviews: AI Product Review · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free, Basic $14.95/month, Growth $24.95/month, Advanced $49.95/month (14-day trial)
Best for: Dropshippers who need social proof on day one

Ali Reviews is built around bulk-importing AliExpress reviews with AI cleanup and translation. Free includes unlimited AliExpress import and email requests but publishes only 10 reviews per product. Basic adds 150 reviews per product, Amazon, eBay, Temu and Etsy sources, Google rich snippets, fully customizable widgets, a media gallery, replies, Q&A and dynamic discounts; Growth adds 1,500 reviews per product, an AI summary highlight and PageFly and GemPages integrations.

Pros:

• Unlimited AliExpress importing for free
• Google snippets from $14.95
• Built for Shopify

Cons:

• Free plan publishes only 10 reviews per product
• Less useful once you stop dropshipping
• Klaviyo is not listed under "Works with"

Skip it if you are an established brand collecting your own reviews.

8. Growave – Best for Reviews, Loyalty and Wishlist in One

Rating: 4.8 (1,294 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Growave: Loyalty & Wishlist · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free (200 orders/month), Entry $15/month (500 orders, then $20 per extra 100), Growth $199/month (1,500 orders, then $15 per 100), Plus $499/month (3,000 orders, then $10 per 100); 14-day trial
Best for: Retention-focused brands that want three tools in one app

Growave bundles reviews, a loyalty points program and wishlists. The free plan covers loyalty points, a wishlist and product reviews for up to 200 orders a month, with Growave branding. Entry adds the review-request email series, a referral program, on-site nudges and one premium integration such as Klaviyo; Growth adds VIP tiers, store credit, review attributes and Google Shopping reviews; Plus adds checkout extensions and a headless API and SDK.

Pros:

• Free plan replaces three apps for small stores
• Built for Shopify
• Plus tier lists checkout extensions and a headless API

Cons:

• The reviews module is lighter than Judge.me's or Okendo's
• The jump from $15 to $199 is steep
• Overage charges stack up at volume (about $699 at 5,000 orders)

Skip it if reviews are all you need.

9. Junip – Best for Headless/Hydrogen and Unlimited Free Requests

Rating: 4.8 (1,156 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Junip Product Reviews App & AI · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free, Core $29/month, Growth $79/month, Premium $299/month (7-day trial on paid plans)
Best for: Headless builds and high-volume stores on a budget

Junip's free plan has unlimited orders and unlimited review-request emails, matched only by Judge.me and AG Product Reviews here. Core ($29) adds media in review requests, incentives, replies, product grouping and live chat support. Growth ($79) adds Google Shopping, TikTok Shop, Shop app and Meta Shops syndication, Klaviyo and Postscript integrations, and custom attributes and filters. Premium ($299) adds Junip AI (a sales agent and summaries), multi-store management, and API and custom apps. Junip documents both embedded widgets and a Display API for headless storefronts.

Pros:

• Unlimited orders and requests on every plan, so no per-order maths
• Headless-friendly: widgets plus a Display API
• Built for Shopify

Cons:

• Collecting photos and video through requests needs the $29 plan
• Klaviyo needs the $79 plan; AI needs $299
• Fewer integrations than Judge.me

Skip it if you want AI or Klaviyo cheaply: Judge.me gives both at $15.

10. REVIEWS.io – Best for Google Seller Ratings and International Stores

Rating: 4.7 (769 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: REVIEWS.io Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: No
Pricing: Free (25 invites/month), Launch $19/month (50 invites), Launch Plus $45/month (500 invites); 14-day trial
Best for: Multi-country stores, Google Ads users, brands that want surveys

REVIEWS.io is a feedback platform, not just a widget: product and company reviews, NPS and post-purchase surveys. The free plan lists photo and video collection, a Klaviyo integration and Shop app syndication. Launch ($19) adds Google Seller Ratings for Google Shopping, rich snippets, a Review Booster for past customers and automated flows, which is the cheapest route to Seller Ratings here (Yotpo needs its $119 Pro plan). Launch Plus ($45) adds attributes, product grouping, surveys and an AI review summary. Billing can happen outside Shopify, per the listing.

Pros:

• Klaviyo and photo/video collection on the free plan
• Seller Ratings at $19
• Multi-platform: also works on Magento and BigCommerce

Cons:

• Invite limits are tight (50 on the $19 plan)
• Charges can be billed outside your Shopify invoice
• No Built for Shopify badge on its listing

Skip it if you sell in one country and do not run Google Ads.

11. Yotpo – Best for Enterprise and Loyalty Integration

Rating: 4.8 (4,626 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Yotpo: Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: No
Pricing: Free (50 orders/month), Starter $15/month, Pro $119/month (both rise with order volume), custom enterprise plans
Best for: Large brands, Shopify Plus, omnichannel retail

Yotpo is more than reviews: loyalty, SMS and subscriptions sit alongside it, and large brands often run several products together. The free plan covers automatic requests, an email template library, sentiment and profanity checks and on-site display, but not photo or video collection. Starter adds photo and video collection, Google rich snippets, Google Shopping Ads and a carousel. Pro adds Google Seller Ratings, custom questions, AI review summaries, smart sorting and email technical support. Per Yotpo's pricing page, Klaviyo starts at Pro and retail syndication at Premium. The listing notes charges may be billed outside Shopify.

Pros:

• Seller Ratings, AI summaries and retail syndication
• Supports Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce and Salesforce Commerce Cloud too
• Deep loyalty and SMS suite

Cons:

• Gets expensive fast: pricing rises with order volume
• No photo or video on the free plan
• No Built for Shopify badge on its listing

Skip it if you are under roughly $1M a year: Judge.me or Okendo delivers more value per dollar.

12. Rivyo – Best Budget Plan With Marketplace Imports

Rating: 4.9 (932 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Rivyo ‑ Product Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free, Starter $9/month, Business $14/month, Enterprise $19/month (7-day trial); optional $9 loyalty and $9 referral add-ons
Best for: Sellers moving from Amazon to Shopify, dropshippers, cheap API access

Paste an Amazon, AliExpress or Etsy product URL, filter by star rating and pull reviews onto your product page. The free plan covers unlimited reviews, CSV imports, automated requests, replies, Google rich snippets, 100 marketplace imports and reviews from 100 orders a month. Starter ($9) adds 500 orders, unlimited photo reviews and Q&A; Business ($14) adds review rewards, product grouping, Google Shopping and 1,000 orders; Enterprise ($19) lists unlimited orders, video reviews, headless and API integration and "Show Reviews at Checkout for Plus stores" (listing claims we have not tested).

Pros:

• Cheapest plan ladder with Google Shopping at $14
• Enterprise tier is $19 for unlimited orders
• Built for Shopify

Cons:

• Free plan covers only 100 orders a month
• A smaller review base than the leaders (932 reviews)
• Loyalty and referrals are paid add-ons

Skip it if you want a long-established vendor for Plus. Only import reviews of products you actually sell.

13. Vitals – Best 40+ Apps in One Bundle

Rating: 4.9 (2,968 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Vitals: Reviews, Bundles & 40+ · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: $29.99/month all-in-one (7-day trial); usage fees start after about $1,000/month in Vitals-attributed sales (from $10/month) and for visitor-recording volume
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 reviews module lists photo and video reviews, star ratings and AliExpress import, and the suite adds bundles and upsells, trust badges, countdown timers, visitor replays and heatmaps, email and pop-ups, and AI tools. There is no free plan: the entry price is $29.99 for everything.

Pros:

• Replaces several separate apps if you use them
• Photo and video reviews with AliExpress import
• Built for Shopify

Cons:

• Reviews are one module among 40+, not best in class
• Usage-based fees kick in as sales grow; read the pricing before committing
• No free plan

Skip it 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 (3,165 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: AG Product Reviews App & UGC · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free (no paid plan)
Best for: Stores that want a genuinely free, well-rated reviews app and nothing more

Status check, October 11, 2026: the App Store page showed "This app is not currently available on the Shopify App Store" and no rating, so the figures above are as of October 5. We have kept the entry because listings sometimes return; confirm the app can be installed before you choose it.

At 5.0 stars across 3,165 reviews with a Built for Shopify badge, this is the highest-rated entirely free app in this guide. The listing (developer: Air Reviews by Avada) cites flexible widgets (star rating, carousel, testimonials), automated review requests, discounts for reviews, review-rich snippets, photo reviews and media galleries, 24/7 support, and compatibility with Klaviyo and Joy Rewards. There is no paid tier to grow into, which is either the point or the limitation depending on your store.

Pros:

• Free, 5.0 rating and Built for Shopify
• Automated requests, review discounts and snippets
• Klaviyo and Shopify Flow listed under "Works with"

Cons:

• No paid tier: nothing to upgrade to if you outgrow it
• Smaller feature set than Judge.me's $15 plan (no AI or Google Shopping listed)
• Fewer review counts and integrations than Judge.me

Judge.me remains our overall pick because it adds a $15 plan with AI, Q&A and Google Shopping when you outgrow free. If its listing is live again, pick AG when you want simple, free and highly rated.

15. Klaviyo Reviews – Best If Klaviyo Already Runs Your Email

Rating: 4.8 (232 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Klaviyo: Product Reviews · Built for Shopify badge: No
Pricing: Free up to 50 orders/month, then $25/month for up to 250 orders ("upgrade as you grow"); the listing notes that charges may be billed by Klaviyo separately from your Shopify invoice
Best for: Stores whose email and SMS already run on Klaviyo

Klaviyo's own review product collects and displays reviews inside your Klaviyo account, so review data sits on the customer profile. The listing covers email and SMS review requests, custom questions, unique coupon rewards and import of existing reviews; the $25 plan adds delivery-based request timing. Klaviyo says it supports Shopify and Shopify Plus brands.

Pros: review events become profile data for segments and flows with no integration to maintain; requests run through your existing Klaviyo flows; free tier. Cons: only makes sense on Klaviyo; the listing does not mention photo or video collection, Google Shopping or rich snippets, so confirm those in a demo; newer (232 reviews), no Built for Shopify badge, and tight order caps. Skip it if you want photo-led widgets or Google Shopping stars: use Judge.me or Loox and connect them to Klaviyo.

16. Opinew – Best for Amazon and eBay Import

Rating: 4.7 (622 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Opinew Product Reviews App UGC · Built for Shopify badge: No
Pricing: Free (50 email review requests, 100 imports), Starter $19/month, Growth $89/month, Advanced $199/month
Best for: Sellers bringing reviews over from Amazon, eBay or AliExpress

Opinew is an import-first app. Starter ($19) unlocks photo and video reviews, review replies and coupon incentives, with unlimited AliExpress imports and 500 marketplace imports. Growth ($89) adds Google Shopping, all widgets and Q&A, and SMS collection. The Klaviyo, Omnisend and Gorgias integrations are listed on the Advanced plan ($199).

Pros: strong marketplace import tools; SEO rich snippets on the free plan. Cons: request caps are low (50 on free, 100 on Starter, 1,000 on Growth); Klaviyo integration sits on the $199 plan; no Built for Shopify badge. Skip it if you are not importing marketplace reviews: Judge.me gives you more on a free plan.

17. Ryviu – Cheapest Paid Plan

Rating: 4.8 (520 reviews) · Verified Oct 5, 2026
App Store listing: Ryviu: Loyalty & Reviews App · Built for Shopify badge: Yes
Pricing: Free (50 products, 20 reviews each, AliExpress import only), Basic $6.99/month, Advance $9.99/month, Unlimited $19.99/month; optional $15/month loyalty add-on
Best for: Tiny catalogs on the lowest possible budget

Ryviu's free plan includes product reviews, star-rating widgets and Google rich snippets. Basic ($6.99) adds Amazon and Shopee imports, CSV import, review-request emails and a Q&A widget. Video reviews and a Google Reviews XML file sit on Unlimited ($19.99).

Pros: the cheapest paid ladder here and a Built for Shopify badge. Cons: hard caps on products and reviews per product on every plan below Unlimited, video reviews only at the top tier, and no Klaviyo listed under "Works with". Skip it if you have a large catalog or want video reviews without paying $19.99.

Five More Apps We Checked

Other roundups pad their lists with these. Read live on October 5, 2026:

• Reputon Customer Reviews App — 4.9 (1,166), free (50 emails/month), paid from $9.99, Built for Shopify. It collects Google and Trustpilot-style reviews of your brand, so it complements a product-review app rather than replacing one.
• LAI Product Reviews App — 4.9 (561), free, Built for Shopify. Imports from Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Temu, Judge.me, Loox, Trustoo or CSV. Smaller merchant base.
• TrustShop: Product Reviews — 4.9 (362), free plan, $9.90/month Unlimited (photo and video reviews, unlimited requests, Google Shopping), $29.90 with AI summaries. Built for Shopify; young.
• AiT: Loyalty, WhatsApp, Review (AiTrillion) — 4.8 (313), no Built for Shopify badge. The listing shows no free plan: the full suite starts at $9/month (up to 50 orders). A retention platform rather than a focused reviews app.
• Trustpilot — approach carefully. Its Shopify app holds 2.7 stars across 18 reviews (October 5, 2026) even though one widely shared roundup lists it at 4.5. It has a free plan (50 invitations a month); paid plans start at $1,188 a year. It is a brand-reputation tool, so pair it with a product-review app.

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

"From $X/month" hides the real number, because most of these apps price by order volume. This table picks the cheapest published plan that covers each volume, from the live listings (October 5, 2026), excluding add-ons and anything a listing does not publish.

How to read this: Judge.me and Junip show no order tiers, so their price does not move as you grow. Loox Convert includes 300 orders, then charges $50 per extra 300, so at 1,000 orders you pay about $200 if billed in full blocks, until Unlimited ($299.99) becomes cheaper. Growave charges $20 per extra 100 orders on Entry, $15 on Growth and $10 on Plus, and bundles loyalty and a wishlist, so it is not like-for-like. Fera's Small plan also caps requests at 1,000 a month. CWILL is left out because its listing no longer publishes order-based overage. At 5,000 orders a month, Judge.me costs $15 and Loox costs $299.99.

Which Review Apps Work With Klaviyo (and on Which Plan)?

The cheapest dedicated review app with a Klaviyo connection is Judge.me at $15 a month, and the native option is Klaviyo Reviews, which is free up to 50 orders a month. The plan that unlocks the connection varies a lot, which is the detail most roundups skip:

The common play: trigger a Klaviyo flow when a customer leaves a review, split reviewers from non-reviewers, and pull five-star quotes into campaigns. Want review data on the Klaviyo profile with nothing to maintain? Use Klaviyo Reviews. Want the best widgets plus free rich snippets? Use Judge.me or Loox and connect them. Loox, Judge.me and Vitals also list Omnisend. For the email tools themselves, see our best email marketing apps for Shopify.

Which Review Apps Include Google Shopping, AI Summaries and Rich Snippets?

Stars in regular search results (rich snippets) are cheap or free; a Google Shopping feed and AI features are where paid tiers start. The cheapest plan that lists each feature on the app's own listing:

If AI plus a Google Shopping feed decide it, Judge.me at $15 is hard to beat; if you also want Meta and TikTok syndication in the same plan, Loox Convert ($49.99) is the most complete. Schema setup tips are in our best Shopify SEO apps guide.

Best Review Apps for Shopify Plus (and Enterprise)

Plus stores ask different questions: pricing at their order forecast, checkout support, APIs and a real support contact. What each vendor lists:

Our read: Okendo Power for a DTC brand that wants Klaviyo and attribute filtering; Yotpo when retail syndication or a dedicated account team matters; Junip for headless. Whatever you shortlist, get the price at your 12-month order forecast in writing.

Do Review Apps Work on Headless or Hydrogen Storefronts?

Most review apps ship as a theme app extension, which does nothing on a headless build because there is no theme to inject into. What exists for headless stores:

• Junip documents embedded widgets and a Display API; its pricing page lists "API & custom apps" on the $299 Premium plan.
• Okendo publishes an official Hydrogen package (@okendo/shopify-hydrogen) with React components for ratings, reviews and a carousel, plus a Storefront REST API. An earlier version of this guide said Okendo assumes a standard theme; that was wrong.
• Yotpo lists API and webhooks on Premium, and Rivyo lists "Headless & API Integration" on its $19 plan. Judge.me, Loox and most smaller apps are built around standard themes, so expect developer work.

Which Review Apps Work Outside Shopify (BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce, commercetools)?

If you run another platform alongside Shopify, or are comparing Shopify with Adobe Commerce (Magento), BigCommerce or commercetools, the options narrowed this year. What each vendor says today:

• Judge.me: Shopify only. It sunset WooCommerce, Square and Squarespace (October 31, 2025), Duda (December 31, 2025), BigCommerce (January 12, 2026) and PrestaShop (January 31, 2026). Wix is not named in that notice, so confirm. Older guides, including an earlier version of this one, still list Judge.me as multi-platform.
• Yotpo: Shopify and Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce (Magento), BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud and Volusion. Its docs (last updated March 2024) do not list commercetools, but they say unlisted platforms can use a generic integration.
• REVIEWS.io: lists integrations for Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, WooCommerce and OpenCart, plus an API for custom platforms.
• Fera: listed on the Shopify, Wix and BigCommerce app stores.
• No other platform found: we found no non-Shopify listings for Loox, Okendo, Junip, CWILL, Rivyo, Ali Reviews, Growave, Vitals or Klaviyo Reviews (Klaviyo says its app is for Shopify and Shopify Plus). Confirm with the vendor if you need multi-platform.

For one review system across Shopify and another platform, Yotpo and REVIEWS.io are now the realistic choices; on Adobe Commerce or a headless commerce platform like commercetools, that narrows to Yotpo (generic integration), REVIEWS.io (API) or a specialist enterprise platform outside this list.

Yotpo vs Junip, and Alternatives If You Are Leaving Yotpo or Loox

Yotpo vs Junip: pick Junip for headless builds, flat pricing ($29, $79, $299, no per-order maths) and unlimited requests on a free plan; pick Yotpo if you want reviews, loyalty, SMS and email from one vendor, and need Seller Ratings or retail syndication. Leaving Yotpo: Judge.me if cost is the reason ($15 flat), Okendo for DTC-grade features without the full platform, or REVIEWS.io if Seller Ratings were the draw ($19 versus $119). Leaving Loox: Judge.me for free photo and video reviews with no order cap, Fera for restylable widgets at $9 with a 60-day trial, or Okendo for photo reviews plus attribute filtering. Judge.me, Junip, LAI and Ali Reviews all list importing from other review apps; test the import on a few products first.

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

If you already sell on a marketplace you can bring genuine reviews of your own products with you:

• Amazon: Rivyo (100 imports free, 500 on the $9 plan), Judge.me (Amazon sync on the free plan), Ali Reviews (Amazon on the $14.95 Basic plan), LAI (free).
• AliExpress: Ali Reviews (unlimited importing on the free plan), Judge.me (AliExpress sync, free), Rivyo, Ryviu (AliExpress only on its free plan) and Vitals.
• Etsy: Judge.me (Etsy sync, free), Rivyo, Ali Reviews (Basic plan).

Only import reviews for the exact product you sell; anything else is fake social proof.

What Merchants on Reddit Actually Say About Review Apps

We read recent r/shopify threads (mid-2025 to mid-2026) where merchants asked which review app to use, such as "Best FREE review app?" and "At what point did you outgrow your review app?". These are anecdotes, not data; we paraphrase the recurring themes and attribute none to individuals:

• Judge.me is the default answer for "free" and "cheap", usually for the $15 flat plan with no order-based pricing.
• The complaints are about what free withholds: product grouping, editing and display controls, and the Google Shopping feed sit on the paid plan. A few merchants said their free-plan displays showed fewer reviews than expected, while others in the thread disagreed, so check your own admin.
• Fera dropping its free tier shows up as a reason merchants switched, and "every free app has a limit" is a common refrain.
• Yotpo opinions split: some brands say its email flows brought in more reviews and paid for themselves; one merchant said they disliked it. The warning about Trustpilot is lock-in.
• Sibling products sharing one review pool is a recurring question. Judge.me (paid plan), REVIEWS.io, Okendo and Stamped were named; the listings confirm product grouping on Junip Core ($29), Fera Small ($29), REVIEWS.io Launch Plus ($45), CWILL Pro ($29.99) and Rivyo Business ($14).

That matches the data above: start on Judge.me free if you are small, and expect to pay $15 to $50 a month once you want grouping, Google Shopping or deeper automation.

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

On October 5, 2026 we compared the figures in the two roundups that outrank this page with each app's live listing. They disagree with each other as often as with reality, a sign neither was checked recently.

1. Loox is overstated about 2x in the most-linked guide, and both quote a retired price. Charle credits it with 18,700+ reviews; the listing shows 9,754. Both price it at $9.99/month, a tier that no longer exists: today it is free, $49.99, $299.99.

2. A 2.7-star app is recommended as a 4.5. Trustpilot is a major review brand off Shopify, but its Shopify app holds 2.7 stars across 18 reviews.

3. Fera and Opinew are inflated roughly 3x, and Fera's free plan is gone. "5,700+" is really 2,027 and "1,600+" is really 622. Charle also lists Fera with a free plan; the listing starts at $9 a month.

4. A fresh date over old numbers. Charle's page now reads "Last Updated: September 14, 2026", but the figures in its table match those we audited earlier in the month. A date stamp is not a verification.

Smaller roundups are staler. EcomSutra prices Loox at "$9.99, $34.99 and $299.99" and ranks Judge.me sixth. Shogun's roundup is dated September 2023 and still recommends Shopify's free Product Reviews app, which Shopify shut down in 2024. TinySEO's May 2026 list shows Stamped as "Free to $149/month".

To be fair to the publishers, App Store figures move fast. That is why every number here is date-stamped; check the date a list was verified, not just the year in its title.

Can You Buy Shopify Reviews? (And What the FTC Rule Says)

Short answer: no. In the US, buying, selling or writing fake reviews is banned by an FTC rule, and Google can strip your stars if your markup includes them. There are two things people mean by "buying Shopify reviews," and both are problems.

1. Buying product reviews for your store. The FTC's Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials, effective October 21, 2024, prohibits writing, creating or selling fake reviews, paying for reviews conditioned on a particular sentiment, undisclosed insider reviews, and fake social-media indicators. Courts can impose civil penalties for knowing violations, up to $53,088 per violation, the FTC's inflation-adjusted maximum (published effective January 17, 2025; we found no later figure as of October 5, 2026). Shopify's Acceptable Use Policy does not mention reviews by name, so the exposure that matters is the FTC rule plus Google: its review-snippet guidelines say not to include "fake or undisclosed incentivized reviews" in your page or markup, and a manual action means your rich results are ignored. Losing your stars in search is the first consequence most stores feel.

2. Buying reviews for an app listing (if you are an app developer). Shopify's App Store requirement 1.3, "Always use honest and transparent review practices", bars fake and incentivized app reviews, with review removal and delisting as penalties. It is one reason review counts here move unpredictably.

The trap almost nobody mentions: hiding bad reviews is covered too. The rule bars threats and false accusations to remove reviews, and it bars presenting your reviews as representing most or all submitted reviews when you have withheld or removed them because of their rating or negative sentiment. Criteria such as spam, profanity or off-topic content must apply equally to positive and negative reviews. Many review apps ship an auto-publish threshold that can hold back anything under, say, 4 stars; moderating spam is fine, burying genuine negative reviews is what the rule targets. Check your app's auto-publish rules first. (Junip's pricing page lists "FTC-compliant moderation" as required on its free plan and optional on paid ones.)

What to do instead. Every app here automates review requests. Practical steps: send the request 7 to 14 days after delivery, not after purchase; offer a small reward for a photo review, give the same reward whatever rating is left, and disclose the incentive where the review appears; and reply publicly to negative reviews. Forty genuine reviews averaging 4.6 look more credible than 400 uniform five-stars. Importing reviews you earned elsewhere for the same products is legitimate (see the import section); importing reviews of products you do not sell is where dropshipping stores cross the line.

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 as they open the cart drawer does. We built Oxify Cart Drawer & Upsells for that moment. It is not a review app, which is why it is not ranked in the 17 above, but once one of the apps above is collecting stars, showing them next to an in-cart upsell or cross-sell is a high-leverage place to use that trust.

What Oxify Cart Drawer & Upsells actually is:

• 4.9 rating from 40 merchants (checked October 11, 2026), 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. Its listing names Judge.me, Rivyo and REVIEWS.io among the apps it works with

Adding Oxify to an existing review setup is a five-minute install, not a migration. For the cart side of the same trust story, see trust badges in the cart drawer, the best cart drawer apps and the best upsell apps.

Where to Show Your Reviews After Setup

Request timing and photo rewards are covered under "Can You Buy Shopify Reviews?" above, so the remaining mistake is showing reviews in one place only. Add carousels to the homepage, ratings to collection pages and trust signals to the cart, and tie review rewards into your loyalty program if you run one. Then run Google's Rich Results Test on a product page: star snippets are on the free plan of Judge.me, Loox, Okendo and Rivyo per their October 5, 2026 listings. Our shoppable video apps guide covers what to do with photo and video reviews afterward.

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 more than 48,000 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 and Plus, Yotpo for enterprise, Junip for headless, REVIEWS.io for a free Klaviyo connection and Google Seller Ratings, and Klaviyo Reviews if Klaviyo already runs your email.

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