Best for review requests by email and WhatsApp for online stores
Kudobuzz sends review requests by email and WhatsApp, imports reviews from other sites and adds shoppable video. There is one listed plan at $15 a month billed yearly, with a 14-day trial and no free plan. Volume past 3,000 requests a month means an Advanced plan with no price shown.
Who Kudobuzz is for
- Fits if you sell on Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce or Shoplazza
- Works for stores that want review requests over WhatsApp as well as email
Who Kudobuzz is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because every account starts with a 14-day trial then pays
- Tight if you grow: Growth stops at 3,000 review requests and 2,000 published reviews a month
- Watch out: the Advanced plan has no price on the pricing page
- Skip it if you're on another platform, since it works only on the four it names

Keep Kudobuzz, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Kudobuzz you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. 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 2.6 is higher than 55 of the 63 other customer review tools we grade. It costs $180 a year.
What you could make
- Review collection: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, Wix and BigCommerce among them, and has an API.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Kudobuzz’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.
