Judge.me
Product reviews for Shopify stores with a free plan and one paid tier
Which one is for you
Pick Fera if
- Fits if you run a small shop with under 200 orders a month and want photo reviews
- Works for Shopify, Wix or BigCommerce stores
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if your store grows, as the plan price follows monthly orders up to $699 a month
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because there is only a trial
- Watch out: the trial length is not stated on the pricing page
- Watch out: an X-Large tier sits between Large and Enterprise at $449 a month yearly for up to 400k orders
- Too light for stores outside the Shopify, Wix and BigCommerce app stores
Pick Judge.me if
- Fits if you're on Shopify and want unlimited reviews without paying per order
- Works for stores leaving Yotpo, Loox or Stamped that need their reviews imported
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if your store runs on WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace or anything but Shopify
- Not for you if you'd rather pay yearly, as Awesome is billed monthly only
- Tight if you need Klaviyo, Gorgias, Q&A, coupons, reminders or Google Shopping free, as all need Awesome
- Watch out: downgrading to Free takes effect at once and resets Awesome-only settings such as product groups

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.
