Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 60 of the 63 other customer review tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Common Ninja, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It does not send review requests, and paid prices are per widget.
- 1
Best for an embeddable reviews widget for any site
Common Ninja shows reviews you already have in an embed widget, free for one widget.
- 2
Paid plans start at $2.80 a month when paid by the year
As its pricing page puts it: $33.60 per widget / year, billed annually.
- 3
There is a free plan
Free plan for one widget with no time limit and no credit card; premium skins and higher monthly view limits need a paid plan.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
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.
- 6
Review approval and filters
Reviews queue for manual approval; you can also set a minimum star rating and include or exclude keywords.
- 7
Sorting and styling
Sort by newest, oldest, highest or lowest rating, then pick a skin and adjust colors, fonts and spacing, with custom CSS.
- 8
A 2.8 GPA, above 60 of 63
That is against the other customer review tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
Best for an embeddable reviews widget for any site
Common Ninja shows reviews you already have in an embed widget, free for one widget. It does not send review requests, and paid prices are per widget.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Essentials is $33.60 a year per widget, about $2.80 a month, under the $9 mark for review tools. |
| Free plan and trial | B | The free plan covers one widget with no time limit and no card. Premium skins and higher view limits are paid. |
| Features | C | It shows reviews gathered elsewhere, with approval, filters and styling. It does not send review requests. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. The widget has to be styled and embedded on each site. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, as an embed for WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, Canva and Webflow. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Site owners who want to show existing Google or Facebook reviews without code
- Small sites that need one review widget and can stay on the free plan
- Agencies that place the same widget on sites built in different builders
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
