Paying more for less

The customer review tools that the most others beat on both counts: a higher score and a lower starting price.

A high starting price often means a product is sold to companies and has no small plan, and a score is three letters, not the whole product. Read a tool’s own page before ruling it out.

This goes by ToolGPA's own grades for features, ease of use and platforms, averaged out of 4, set against the price each tool's paid plans start at.

Yotpo, with a score of 2.7 out of 4: the highest among the 3 that start at $20 a month or less. Yotpo starts at $15 a month.

Which customer review tools cost the most for what they offer?

On this chart, Broadly (starts at $79 a month, scores 2.3 out of 4, and 4 tools score higher for less), Loox (starts at $49.99 a month, scores 2.3 out of 4, and 3 tools score higher for less) and Junip (starts at $29 a month, scores 2.3 out of 4, and 3 tools score higher for less). A high starting price often means a product is sold to companies and has no small plan, so check what the price includes before ruling one out.

How much do customer review tools cost?

The middle starting price is $39.50 a month: half of the 14 customer review tools with a recurring price start below that and half above. 0 of the 15 in this directory have no paid plan, and 7 of those that charge also have a free plan.

How is the score on this chart worked out?

It is the average of three of the five grades ToolGPA gives every tool: features, ease of use, and platforms and integrations, with an A worth 4 and an F worth 0. The other two grades, value for money and the free plan, are about price, so they are left out and price gets an axis of its own. 14 of the 15 customer review tools are on the chart; 1 are left off because they are sold for a single payment or publish no price that can be put as dollars a month.

How this chart is made

  • The score is the average of three of a tool’s five grades: features, ease of use, and platforms and integrations. An A is 4 points and an F none. Value for money and the free plan are left out because they are about price, and price has an axis of its own.
  • The price is what paid plans start at, in dollars a month, on the cheapest way of paying the listing names. A yearly price is divided by twelve, and a price in another currency is converted. A price for each person is shown for one person.
  • A tool with no paid plan sits in the band marked Free. A tool with a free plan beside paid ones is placed at its paid price and drawn as a filled dot.
  • The grades are ToolGPA’s own judgement from each vendor’s pages and from public reviews, not from testing, and no vendor can pay for one. How we grade
