How we grade them
| 2.4GPAAli ReviewsFair | 2.2GPALooxFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BBasic is $14.95 a month, which falls in the category's cheapest quarter (from $15). Growth is $24.95 and Advanced $49.95. | CA 300-order shop fits Convert exactly, at $49.99 a month, billed every 30 days with no yearly plan. Set against its listed rivals at that size, that's the middle. It grows quickly, though: $50 more for each further 300 orders, so a busy month costs more. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree allows 10 published reviews per product, imports and a review request email. Ten per product runs out fast on a store with sales. | CBeginner is free up to 500 orders, with requests, photo-review discounts, the main widgets and Google review snippets. But that's 500 orders in total, not a month, so a 300-order shop is through it in under two months. Convert has a 14-day trial. |
| Features | CImports, AI translation, review emails, widgets, a Google feed and Q&A. Review counts are capped per product on every plan except Advanced. | CThe visual side is covered: photo and video reviews, 17+ widgets, AI sorting, summaries, translations and replies, referrals, AliExpress imports, and Google Shopping, Meta and TikTok sync. The gaps: it's a Shopify app only, and Q&A isn't on record. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record, and a store connection is needed first. | CNo store rating on record. It installs from the Shopify App Store and imports reviews from other apps, but you still pick widgets, set the discount for photos and watch your order count, since that sets the bill. |
| Platforms and integrations | BShopify only, importing from AliExpress, Amazon and Temu, with a Google Shopping feed. | BWeb, inside Shopify, with Klaviyo, Omnisend, LoyaltyLion, AfterShip and Weglot, the Shop app on every plan, Google Shopping, Meta Shops and TikTok on Convert, and an API. No phone or desktop app is listed. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
