How we grade them

| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan or trial is mentioned; you book a demo. | CFree up to 50 orders a month, with automatic requests, the reviews widget and profanity checks. But there are no photo or video reviews, you can't remove Yotpo's branding, and a shop doing 300 orders is well past it. |
| Features | BProduct and service reviews, analytics, Kickstart, imports and AI moderation. SMS, Q&A and translations are separate add-ons. | BThe whole job: automatic requests with email and text reminders, photo and video reviews, review snippets, Google Shopping, Seller Ratings, AI summaries and sorting, Q&A, moderation and coupons for reviewers. Retail syndication and a loyalty product sit on top. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record, and you set up invitations and widgets on your store. | CNo store rating on record. Requests go out automatically once it's connected, but you pick a plan by order volume, set up the emails and widgets, and the bigger tiers come through sales. |

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.
