Best for an embeddable reviews widget for any site

Who Common Ninja is for
- Fits if you already have reviews and want to show them on a site
- Works for site owners who want a one-line embed
Who Common Ninja is not for
- Skip it if you want to ask customers for reviews, as it does not
- Not for you if you run many widgets, as paid prices are per widget
- Tight if you outgrow the free view limits, as higher ones need a paid plan
- Watch out: prices exclude VAT, and the pricing page does not spell out each tier

Keep Common Ninja, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Common Ninja you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 60 of the 63 other customer review tools we grade. It costs $33.60 a year.
What you could make
- Review collection: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, Squarespace and Wix among them, and has an API.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Common Ninja’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Common Ninja?
Common Ninja is a library of no-code website widgets that are designed in an editor and pasted in as one line of embed code. Its review widgets show Google, Facebook, Yelp and other reviews on a site, alongside many non-review widgets such as chat buttons and sliders. A free plan covers one widget; paid plans are priced per widget.
Worth knowing
- It displays reviews gathered elsewhere; it does not send review requests to customers.
- Paid prices are per widget, so a site with several widgets pays more than the single-widget list price.
- The pricing page does not spell out each tier's features; premium skins and higher view limits are the stated upgrade reasons.
- Prices exclude VAT, which is added by country.
Key features
- All in One Reviews widget
- Combines reviews from sources such as Google, Facebook, Yelp, Tripadvisor, Amazon, G2 and Etsy into one wall, as a carousel, grid or list.
- Review approval and filters
- Reviews queue for manual approval; you can also set a minimum star rating and include or exclude keywords.
- Sorting and styling
- Sort by newest, oldest, highest or lowest rating, then pick a skin and adjust colors, fonts and spacing, with custom CSS.
- One-line embed
- Paste a single embed snippet into WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, Canva, Webflow and other pages that accept custom HTML.
- Other review widgets
- Separate widgets cover Google Reviews, Facebook Reviews, G2 Reviews, a reviews badge and a testimonials slider.
