Reviews.io Alternatives in 2026: 8 Review Apps and Tools Compared
Eight Reviews.io alternatives compared on what changes the bill: domains, review invites, orders, Google Seller Ratings and video. For online stores, multi-brand businesses and anyone who wants testimonials as well as reviews. Prices read from each vendor's own site.

Short answer
For Shopify product reviews, the cheapest Reviews.io alternative is Judge.me: free, and $15/month at most. Trustpilot suits a recognised public profile, from $99/month billed annually. Trustindex shows reviews from 133 platforms on unlimited websites for $65 a year. Reviews.io itself starts at $29/month per domain, with a 14-day trial.
Prices checked on each vendor's own pricing page between 2026-10-03 and 2026-10-08. We update this page when a vendor changes a plan.
Reviews.io is a solid review platform: company and product reviews, photo and video collection, Google Seller Ratings and a long list of integrations, with prices on the page. People look for an alternative when each extra domain means another subscription, review invites run out, or a store just needs product stars for less. This page compares eight alternatives and says when Reviews.io is still the right choice.
Why people leave Reviews.io
- 1
Priced per domain
Each top-level domain is a separate subscription.
- 2
Review invites are capped
Up to 300 on Essentials ($29/month) and 1,000 on Start-Up ($79/month).
- 3
A trial, not a free plan
Paid plans start with a 14-day free trial.
The plan ladder explains most of it. Essentials at $29 a month covers up to 300 review invites, product and company reviews, photo and video collection and 15+ widgets. Google Seller Ratings, rich snippets and review importing start on Start-Up at $79, and the reputation manager, AI review summaries and competitor analysis on Grow at $175. Annual billing saves 20%. For a store with one domain and a few hundred orders a month, that is fair. For a brand with three country sites, it is three subscriptions.
None of this matters if you have one domain and use what Reviews.io is strong at: company and product reviews together, Google Seller Ratings, Klaviyo and SMS invites, and syndication to Bazaarvoice and Walmart.com on the top plan. It matters when you are paying per domain for a widget.

For a Shopify store, Judge.me covers what most people use Reviews.io for, for far less. The Forever Free plan includes unlimited product and store reviews, photo and video reviews, automated review requests after fulfilment and rich snippets for Google. Awesome at $15/month adds Google Shopping, Q&A, coupons and referrals, and AI replies, summaries and translations. Judge.me's pricing page says $15 a month is the most you can ever pay, with no scaling by order volume.
Choose it if you sell on Shopify and want product reviews with stars and Google Shopping at a fixed low price.
Not for: company reviews on an independent site, or a store that is not on Shopify.

The free account includes 50 review invitations a month; Starter is $99/month, billed yearly for 100 invitations, 2 widgets and 1 domain, and Plus and Premium are priced per domain, so the per-domain problem does not go away. All paid contracts are 12 months, prepaid.
Choose it if shoppers in your market look you up on Trustpilot before buying.
Not for: escaping per-domain pricing, or month-to-month billing.
3. Yotpo — reviews and loyalty, priced by orders

Pro adds seller ratings and AI display features, and Premium, by quote, adds AI summaries, translations, syndication across domains and retail syndication. Loyalty & Referrals is a separate product that can be bundled at a discount.
Choose it if you want reviews and loyalty from one vendor, and syndication across domains on a higher plan.
Not for: a predictable bill as your orders grow.

Single is $65/year for one company with unlimited websites, widgets and views; Pro is $125/year for 5 companies and Ultimate $349/year for unlimited companies. It can send review-request emails and QR codes that point customers to review platforms, and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Plans include two domains; each extra domain is $100/month.
Choose it if you want reviews and loyalty together on Shopify Plus, with two domains included.
Not for: a free start, or a budget that cannot absorb the gap between the selector and the FAQ.
8. VideoTestimonials — video testimonials, one space per brand
VideoTestimonials
Testimonial tool (ours)- Free plan
- 20 text testimonials + 10 video testimonials, no time limit
- Entry paid plan
- Starter: $24/month
- Unlimited video from
- Starter, $24/month
- Recording limit
- Set per form, up to 5 minutes
- Best for
- Video and written testimonials about your brand, with existing reviews imported, for up to 3 brands on one plan
- Not for
- Product reviews tied to orders, Google Seller Ratings or Google Shopping stars
VideoTestimonials is our product, and it does a different job from Reviews.io. Reviews.io collects ratings of a product or a company after a purchase. We collect testimonials: customers open a link and record a video or write about their experience in the browser, with no app and no account. You approve, trim and caption them, and publish to a Wall of Love or one of 18 widget layouts. Reviews you already have, from Google, Trustpilot, Amazon and 15 other sources, can be imported alongside.
Starter is $24/month with unlimited video and 3 spaces, so three brands or country sites share one plan.
Choose it if you want customers on video on your homepage, landing pages and ads, across several brands.
Not for: replacing a product review app. We have no order-triggered requests or Seller Ratings.
Staying on Reviews.io
Stay if you have one domain and use the combination it does well: company and product reviews in one place, Google Seller Ratings from Start-Up, Klaviyo and SMS invites, surveys and NPS, and syndication to Bazaarvoice and Walmart.com on Plus. Its offer to buy out the rest of another provider's contract also says something about how it competes. Move when per-domain pricing or invite caps make you pay for the same thing twice.
Which to pick
| If you need… | Pick… | Why |
|---|---|---|

| A modern reviews and loyalty stack | Okendo | Free to 50 orders, then from $19/month |
| Photo and video product reviews | Loox | Video from $49.99/month |
| Existing reviews on many sites | Trustindex | $65 a year, unlimited websites |
| Reviews and loyalty on Shopify Plus | Stamped | Two domains included |
| Video testimonials across several brands | VideoTestimonials | 3 spaces and unlimited video for $24/month |
| Company and product reviews with Seller Ratings, one domain | Stay on Reviews.io | Start-Up at $79/month |
How to move from Reviews.io
- 1
Export your REVIEWS.io reviews, or keep it for product reviews and use this for testimonials.
- 2
Create a space here and a collection form for video and text testimonials.
- 3
Send the link to customers after a project or purchase.
- 4
Embed a Wall of Love or widget on your site.
Feature-by-feature: VideoTestimonials vs Reviews.io
If you are moving product reviews, export them from Reviews.io and import them into the new app before you remove the old widgets, so product pages never show zero reviews. Check Google Seller Ratings separately: they depend on the review provider feeding Google, so plan the switch for a quiet period. If you are adding testimonials rather than replacing reviews, there is nothing to migrate; run both side by side.
Where VideoTestimonials fits
We are not a Reviews.io replacement for product reviews or Seller Ratings, and Judge.me or Yotpo are the honest picks for that. We fit when you want what a review platform does not collect: customers on video talking about your brand, for the homepage and ads, with three brands on one $24 plan and your existing reviews imported alongside.
Compare our plans, see every widget, or compare the Shopify options in the best testimonial apps for Shopify.
How we compared: prices and limits were read from each vendor's own pricing page or Shopify App Store listing on the dates shown above. VideoTestimonials is our product; we have said where each alternative is the better choice.
