The 7 Best Shopify Review Apps in 2026 (Tested & Compared)
Picking a review app for your Shopify store shouldn’t feel like a gamble. There are dozens of options, and most of them claim to be “the best” — so we actually installed, tested, and compared the most popular ones to see which apps are genuinely worth your time and money.
Here’s what came out on top.
Best Shopify Review App
Rivyo: Reviews & Loyalty
Rivyo topped our list because it:
- Combines reviews, loyalty, and referrals in a single app instead of forcing you to stitch together three separate tools
- Offers a genuinely useful free plan, with paid tiers starting at just $9/month
- Includes AI-powered review summaries and reply tools without gatekeeping them behind an enterprise-tier price
- Backs it all up with a 4.9-star rating across nearly 2,000 merchant reviews
It’s rare to find an app that’s this feature-complete and still this affordable, which is exactly why it takes the top spot this year.

How We Tested
Ranking review apps is tricky since no two stores use them the same way. We judged each app on three things:
- Pricing — what you actually get at each tier, not just the sticker price
- Features — how complete the toolkit is for collecting, managing, and displaying reviews
- Ease of use — how quickly a store owner can get set up and start seeing reviews come in
Each category was scored out of 5, and averaged into an overall rating.
1. Rivyo — Best Overall Review App
Rating: 4.9/5
Pricing: 4.9/5 · Features: 4.8/5 · Ease of Use: 4.8/5
Rivyo is what happens when a review app doesn’t stop at reviews. Out of the box it handles product reviews, photo and video UGC, and Q&A — and then lets you layer on a Loyalty program and a Referral program without switching apps.
Pricing
| Free | Starter | Business | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Cost | $0 | $9 | $14 | $19 |
| Review Requests | 100 | 500 | 1,000 | Unlimited |
Even the free plan is usable for a small store, and the jump to Starter at $9/month unlocks most of what growing stores need. Add the Loyalty and Referral programs for $9/month each, and you effectively get a full customer-retention stack for less than most standalone loyalty apps charge on their own.
Features
Every plan includes:
- Automated review request emails
- Review replies
- Google Rich Snippets for search visibility
- Unlimited product reviews
Paid plans layer on:
- Automated reminder emails
- Store-wide reviews
- Unlimited photo reviews, and unlimited video reviews on Enterprise
- Review rewards — discount codes tied to review requests
- AI-powered review summaries and AI reply suggestions
- QR-code review collection for post-purchase packaging
- Full integration coverage across major Shopify apps and themes
The AI layer is the standout here — most competitors either don’t offer it or lock it behind their most expensive plan. Rivyo builds it into the core experience.
Ease of Use
Setup takes a few minutes, and the onboarding walks you through connecting your theme, customizing widgets, and sending your first review requests. The dashboard is clean and organized by function (reviews, loyalty, referrals, analytics), so it stays easy to navigate even as you turn on more modules. Support is responsive, and merchant reviews consistently call out the team’s willingness to help with custom CSS or theme edits.
Why it’s #1: Rivyo matches or beats the feature set of apps costing two to three times as much, and it’s the only app on this list that turns into a full retention suite — reviews, loyalty, and referrals — without needing three separate subscriptions.
2. Judge.me — Best for Feature Breadth
Rating: 4.8/5
Pricing: 4.8/5 · Features: 4.8/5 · Ease of Use: 4.8/5
Judge.me remains one of the most complete review apps on the Shopify App Store, with a strong free plan and a $15/month Awesome plan that adds AI summaries, 130+ integrations, and extra widgets. It’s a safe, well-rounded pick — just without the loyalty and referral layer Rivyo bundles in.
3. Reputon — Best for Google & Trustpilot Reviews
Rating: 4.5/5
Pricing: 4.3/5 · Features: 4.6/5 · Ease of Use: 4.7/5
Reputon is built differently from the rest of this list — instead of on-site product reviews, it helps you collect and display reviews from Google, Trustpilot, and Facebook. That makes it a strong niche pick for service-based or bespoke-product stores that don’t fit the typical product-review model, though pricing climbs quickly at higher volumes.
4. Junip — Best Dashboard Experience
Rating: 4.4/5
Pricing: 4.4/5 · Features: 4.5/5 · Ease of Use: 4.3/5
Junip offers unlimited review requests on every plan, including free, and a genuinely well-designed dashboard. The catch is price — plans run from $29 to $299/month, which is steep next to what Rivyo offers at a fraction of the cost.
5. AG / Air Reviews — Best Free App
Rating: 4.4/5
Pricing: 5/5 · Features: 4.2/5 · Ease of Use: 4.2/5
If budget is the only constraint, Air Reviews is completely free and still covers the basics: widgets, automated requests, incentives, and photo/video reviews. It’s a solid starting point, though you’ll outgrow it as your store scales.
6. Loox — Best for Reviews + Referrals
Rating: 4.3/5
Pricing: 4.0/5 · Features: 4.5/5 · Ease of Use: 4.6/5
Loox pairs photo/video reviews with a built-in referral program, similar in spirit to what Rivyo offers — but at a much higher price point, with paid plans reaching $299.99/month.
7. TrustWILL — Reliable All-Rounder
Rating: 4.3/5
Pricing: 4.3/5 · Features: 4.2/5 · Ease of Use: 4.4/5
TrustWILL is a capable, no-frills review app with reasonable pricing. It covers the essentials well but doesn’t have a standout feature that sets it apart from the pack the way Rivyo’s AI tools and bundled loyalty/referral programs do.
Conclusion
- For an all-in-one solution — Rivyo is the clear winner. It covers reviews, loyalty, and referrals in one app, includes AI features most competitors charge extra for (or don’t offer at all), and starts at just $9/month.
- For offsite reviews — Reputon is the better fit if you specifically need Google or Trustpilot review collection rather than on-site product reviews.
Whichever app you choose, one piece of advice: avoid installing several review apps just to “test” them on your live store. Apps add code to your theme, and swapping between them can leave behind bloat or break widgets. Test on a duplicate theme first, and only keep the one you’re actually going to use.
