Keep Opinew, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Opinew you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $228 a year.
What you could make
- Review collection and schema markup: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, Klaviyo and Omnisend among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Opinew’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 Opinew?
Opinew is a product reviews app for online stores that sends review request emails after a purchase, imports reviews from sites such as AliExpress and eBay, and shows them in widgets.

Worth knowing

- Extra email credits are sold separately, and the Smart Reviews add-on starts at $9 a month.
- Personal review migration and a customer success manager come only with Advanced and Enterprise.
- The page read showed monthly prices; the Annually toggle's prices could not be read.
Key features
