What it does
Collect customer reviews and show ratings, photos and videos on your product pages.
- Automated review collection
- Review widgets and stars
- Imports and channel integrations
Pricing
A real free plan. A flat paid step.
- Forever Free · $0 — Unlimited product/store reviews and photo/video reviews
- Awesome · $15/month — Advanced collection, integrations and customization
Worked example: At 300 or 1,500 products, Awesome remains $15/month under the published flat plan. Product count is not its price escalator.
What people like
Human help earns its mentions.
House of Brindle describes repeated quick fixes; Professional Art Products praised a human agent even in a three-star review.
Merchant-reported experience
Friction
Some controls stay with reviewers. Tallio and Coolkids-Store describe friction around identity and review management. Treat this as workflow friction, not a reason to rewrite customer feedback.
Imports still need checking. The Norse Wind reports an Etsy sync problem despite liking the widgets. This is one case, not a measured failure rate.
