Review management and AI agents for multi-location local businesses
Ask customers for reviews, show the best ones on your site and reply to them from one place.
Judge.me comes first: its free plan collects unlimited product and store reviews with photos and videos, and its one paid plan is $15 a month at any order count, but it runs on Shopify only. NiceJob is second for local service firms after Google reviews, from $75 a month. Yotpo is third for stores on WooCommerce, BigCommerce and other platforms. Junip narrowly missed: its free plan has no order cap either, but it is Shopify-only too and Core is $29. REVIEWS.io is $23 a month billed yearly for 300 invites but has no free plan.
Free plan · from $15/mo
For: Most small stores selling on Shopify
Judge.me asks Shopify buyers for a review after delivery and shows text, photo and video reviews in widgets and star badges, with rich snippets and sync to the Shop app, Etsy and Amazon. Forever Free has no cap on reviews, orders or requests, and Awesome, $15 a month whatever the order count, adds Q&A, reminders, coupons, referrals, AI replies, Google Shopping and 130+ integrations such as Klaviyo. Know the limits: it works on Shopify only, having ended support for WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Squarespace, Awesome is billed monthly only, and dropping back to Free resets Awesome-only settings.
Judge.me pricing and detailsFree trial · from $75/mo
For: Local service businesses after Google reviews
NiceJob texts and emails customers for a review on Google and other sites when a job is finished, usually set off by Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan or QuickBooks, then shows the reviews in website widgets and on a hosted reviews page, with social auto-posting and a staff leaderboard. Starter is $75 a month, after a 14-day trial with no card. It is second because it costs more to start than Judge.me: there is no free plan, and AI replies, referrals, rebooking reminders and NPS surveys need Pro at $125 a month.
NiceJob pricing and detailsFree plan · from $15/mo
For: Stores on WooCommerce, BigCommerce and other platforms
Yotpo asks for a product review after each order on Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce and Salesforce Commerce Cloud, with email and SMS reminders, photo and video reviews from Starter, rich snippets and Google Shopping, and a separate loyalty product. The free plan covers up to 50 orders a month, and Starter is $15 a month for up to 99 orders. It is third because the bill rises with sales: a store with 300 to 599 orders pays $89 a month, Google Seller Ratings, AI summaries and Q&A start at Pro from $119, and the free plan has no photo or video reviews.
