Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 18 of the 34 other customer review tools we grade
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. Plans are sized by monthly email credits and an import limit, and an add-on called Smart Reviews uses AI to pick which reviews appear first.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Opinew, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It is a Shopify app you install and configure.

The report card
Best for review requests and widgets for Shopify stores
Opinew collects and shows product reviews for Shopify stores, from $19 a month. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial, extra email credits cost more, and the personal help starts on the higher plans.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Starter is $19 a month for 200 request emails, at the edge of the cheaper quarter of review tools. Growth is $89, Advanced $199 and Enterprise $499 and up. |
| Free plan and trial | D | There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial, and the page does not say whether it needs a card. |
| Features | B | Review requests, imports, widgets, rich snippets, photo and video reviews and coupon incentives. Q&A starts on Growth, and Starter caps imports at 500 reviews. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is a Shopify app you install and configure. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with Shopify, Klaviyo, Omnisend, Gorgias, Zendesk and Aftership. No desktop or phone app. |
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 Opinew is for
- Fits if you run a Shopify store and want review emails sent for you
- Works for shops that have reviews to import from other platforms
Who it is not for

- Tight if you send many requests, because extra email credits are sold separately
- Pricey if you want Q&A or SMS credits, which start on Growth at $89 a month
- Watch out: the Smart Reviews add-on starts at $9 a month
- Watch out: the page showed monthly prices only, as the Annually toggle's could not be read

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 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.
