Best Judge.me alternatives reviewed in 2026

Short answer: The right app depends on what's pushing you away from Judge.me. Pick Vitals, at $29.99/month, when you want a product review app with one fixed pricing plan, whose price doesn't increase as your order volume grows, plus 40+ other apps. Pick Okendo, free up to 50 orders and then from $19/month, when you want guided onboarding and an importer that recognises Judge.me files. Pick AG Product Reviews when you want no listed charge and a setup that opens the theme editor for you. Pick Rivyo, from $9/month, for Q&A and store reviews on a small budget.

Judge.me is a product reviews app with a 5.0 rating from 48,747 merchants, a free plan that includes unlimited reviews, photos and videos, and one paid plan that stays at $15/month at any order count. But recent reviews describe settings that are hard to find and edits that need a support ticket, and since April 2026 its Google Shopping feed leaves out most imported reviews.

So I installed 7 alternatives on a test store and compared each one with Judge.me. Below each app, I've set out who it suits, what it costs in November 2026 and which Judge.me features you'd leave behind.

Why do merchants look for a Judge.me alternative?

Price isn't the reason, because Judge.me tops out at $15/month. Merchants leave over Google Shopping rules, a dashboard they find hard to work with and the control they have over reviews.

Imported reviews stopped counting for Google Shopping. Judge.me moved to its own feed as a Google review partner in April 2026, and that feed needs 50 eligible reviews and excludes reviews imported from most sources. In recent reviews from June to October 2026, merchants who moved from Okendo and Yotpo say they lost their Google Shopping stars. No app here guarantees imported reviews will count, but Rivyo and AG Product Reviews give you an XML feed to add in Merchant Center yourself.

The dashboard takes too many steps for some stores. Merchants write that settings are hard to find, that simple changes need a support ticket and that reminders didn't send as they'd set them up. Others say support starts with an AI chat before they reach a person. AG Product Reviews and Okendo stand out here, because their recent reviewers often name the agent who helped them.

Some merchants want more say over how reviews appear. One reviewer couldn't change how a reviewer's name displays, and another says customers had to verify through a Judge.me account before reviewing. Vitals offers edits to imported and self-added reviews, and AG Product Reviews can email a customer to ask them to edit their own review.

These come from 265 of its 48,747 reviews, so most merchants don't report them.

Which Judge.me alternatives made my shortlist?

I chose apps that collect and show product reviews like Judge.me, rated 4.7 or above, with merchants still reviewing them in the last 12 months.Here are the 7 that made it:

1. Vitals: product reviews inside one plan with 40+ apps
2. Fera: a 60-day trial and a Judge.me import by private token
3. AG Product Reviews: no listed charge and a guided first setup
4. Okendo: an importer that detects Judge.me files, plus loyalty and quizzes
5. Rivyo: Q&A, store reviews and reminders on a $9/month plan
6. REVIEWS.io: Google Seller Ratings and a public company page
7. Loox: AI sorting that puts customer photos and videos first

This table shows each app's rating, starting price and how it charges, with Judge.me in the first row for comparison:

These are November 2026 prices. Check each listing before you sign up, because developers update them.

Judge.me's flat fee is hard to beat on price, so compare AG Product Reviews and Rivyo when cost matters most.

How did I review these Judge.me alternatives?

Every app went onto my test store first. After that, I read its App Store listing, compared its plans and went through its newest and lowest-rated merchant reviews, always with Judge.me as the yardstick.

These are the points I compared:

• Review requests: how it asks buyers, such as email, SMS, QR codes or the order status page
• Review types: whether it takes photos, videos, questions and reviews of the store itself
• Control: what you can edit, hold back or publish automatically
• Google: whether it sends reviews to Google Shopping, and how it treats imported reviews
• AI features: what AI does in each app, such as replies, summaries or moderation
• Integrations: which email, loyalty and support tools it connects to
• Setup: the minutes from install to a working widget
• Design: whether the widgets fitted my theme without code
• Speed: what a review app adds when a store already runs many other apps
• Pricing: what each plan costs, what it limits and what it adds
• Reviews: what recent and lowest-rated merchants write, support included
• Moving: what you can bring across from Judge.me, such as reviews, media and Q&A

Vitals is first because it adds 40+ other apps to the reviews, and the other 6 appear in no particular order.

I didn't include Shopify's own Product Reviews app, because its listing says it isn't currently available.

I haven't scored speed, because your theme and other apps change the result. All 7 apps have a free plan or trial, so test them on your own store.

What did I find when I compared them with Judge.me?

I'd sort the 7 into 3 groups: reviews-first apps (Fera, AG Product Reviews, Loox), reviews apps with loyalty, surveys or company reviews (Okendo, Rivyo, REVIEWS.io) and an all-in-one app (Vitals). Some only offer reviews and others include more apps, and I liked the ones with more, because each one replaces a separate subscription.

I found 5 main differences from Judge.me.Each app includes a different mix of them, so check which ones you'd use before you compare prices:

• Google Shopping: Judge.me needs 50 eligible reviews and excludes most imports. Vitals also starts its feed at 50 eligible reviews and leaves out AliExpress and Amazon imports, REVIEWS.io shows imports as third-party reviews unless their order IDs match, and Rivyo and AG Product Reviews hand you an XML feed for Merchant Center.
• Q&A: Judge.me includes it on Awesome at $15/month. Rivyo and Fera start it at $9/month, REVIEWS.io at $45/month and Okendo at $119/month. Vitals, AG Product Reviews and Loox had no Q&A that I could find.
• Video reviews: Judge.me includes them for free. Vitals, Fera and REVIEWS.io include them too, while Loox starts them on Convert and Rivyo keeps them for Enterprise. AG Product Reviews has no video reviews on its listing.
• Store reviews: Judge.me collects them on its free plan. Loox, Fera, Okendo and Rivyo collect them, and REVIEWS.io adds a public company page. I didn't find them on Vitals, and one AG Product Reviews reviewer says it has none.
• Syndication: Judge.me sends reviews to the Shop app for free, and to TikTok Shop and Meta on Awesome. Loox and REVIEWS.io sync with the Shop app on their free plans, and Okendo adds TikTok Shop and Meta on Growth. Rivyo marks the Shop app and TikTok as coming soon.

A few more differences showed up once I used them:

• Reports: Judge.me compares each stage of collection on Awesome. Rivyo includes advanced analytics and a weekly digest on every plan, AG Product Reviews tracks emails opened and clicked, and REVIEWS.io adds AI findings from the last 30 days.
• AI features: Judge.me drafts replies, summaries and FAQ answers, and it works with Shopify Sidekick. Vitals adds an AI review summary to its widget, and with Vitals MCP, you can do everything in Vitals with Claude or ChatGPT. Fera's Ferify approves or declines reviews automatically, Okendo writes AI replies on every plan and AG Product Reviews has an MCP server that can approve and reply to reviews.
• Setup: almost every app took me 5 to 10 minutes, so I'd leave setup time out of the decision.
• Design: nearly all the apps felt highly responsive, user friendly and customisable when I set them up. REVIEWS.io's app blocks offer basic styling, and fuller control needs a code install.
• Speed: one review app won't hurt your page speed on its own. Every app you add for bundles, discounts or upsells affects it, so the bigger gain comes from running fewer separate apps.

What are the best Judge.me alternatives?

Vitals is my top pick for merchants leaving Judge.me who already pay for other apps, because its reviews come with 40+ apps in one subscription. Fera comes next for stores that want a long trial and a direct Judge.me import. The other 5 suit a free setup with human help, loyalty in one account, Q&A on a budget, Google Seller Ratings and photo-led product pages.

1. Vitals: Best for adding reviews to a store that runs many apps

Vitals is an all-in-one Shopify app, and its Product Reviews app is one of 40+ apps in one subscription. Choose it when you pay for Judge.me as well as separate apps for bundles, upsells or pop-ups.

Why I like this app:

The control over product reviews is what I liked most. I could edit imported reviews and hold back any review containing words I'd banned. Vitals also offers 40+ other apps, such as bundles, upsells and pop-ups, so one bill can replace several. On top of that, with Vitals MCP, you can do everything in Vitals with Claude or ChatGPT.

Compared with Judge.me:

Vitals offers CSV imports from Judge.me with up to 10,000 reviews per file, and you can edit those imported reviews after they arrive. You'd give up a free plan and the Shop app, TikTok Shop and Meta syncing that Judge.me offers. I didn't find Q&A or reviews of the store itself.

Features:

• Request emails after fulfilment, purchase or delivery
• Up to 2 reminders to buyers who haven't reviewed
• Photos and videos in reviews
• A discount code emailed after a review
• CSV imports from Judge.me, Loox, Yotpo and Stamped
• AliExpress and Amazon imports with rating and content filters
• Edits to imported and self-added reviews
• Automatic publishing or approval first, with banned words
• Pinned and featured reviews
• Widget layouts in grid, list or slider
• Stars under the product title and on collection cards
• A carousel, an all reviews badge and a Happy Customers page
• An AI review summary with keywords
• Review highlights near the buy button
• Auto-translation into your storefront language
• A Google Shopping feed URL at 50 eligible reviews
• 40+ apps in the same subscription

Pricing: Vitals has one plan, with all 40+ apps included:

• All in one plan: $29.99/month
• Trial: 7 days

Reviews: Vitals has 4.9 stars from 2,974 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A recent Italian reviewer praises its many simple apps and excellent support, and a store using it for over 3 years thanks a named support agent. One merchant from February 2026 says they couldn't reach support after several tries, and Vitals replied that its team is on chat and email every day.

Best for: A store that pays for several apps and wants its reviews, bundles and upsells on one bill.

I wouldn't choose it if: Product questions from shoppers drive your sales. Rivyo includes Q&A from $9/month.

See Vitals on the Shopify App Store

2. Fera: Best for testing an alternative over a long trial

Fera is a reviews app for product and store reviews that also pulls in reviews from Etsy, Google, Amazon and Facebook. I'd choose it when you want 2 months to compare it with Judge.me before you pay.

Why I like this app:

Fera's import list is the widest I found, and it connects to Judge.me with a private token instead of a CSV file. I also found Q&A from the $9/month plan, review rewards through Smile.io or BON and Ferify, which approves or declines reviews automatically after a delay. The 60-day trial applies to every listed plan, the longest of these apps.

Compared with Judge.me:

Fera also works on Wix, BigCommerce and Squarespace, which Judge.me stopped supporting by January 2026. You'd give up a free plan, because Fera charges from $9/month after the trial. Recent reviewers say widgets disappeared from their store when they reached their plan's limit.

Features:

• Automatic review requests, including on delivery
• One-time requests, direct review links and follow-ups
• A review popup for returning visitors
• Product and store reviews, with photos and videos
• Imports from Judge.me, Loox, Stamped, Yotpo, Etsy, Google, Amazon and AliExpress
• A Q&A widget for product and store questions
• Discount codes, cashback or loyalty points for reviews
• Ferify AI moderation and AI review replies
• Google Shopping and Google Search ratings
• Multi-store sync on Medium
• SMS requests in beta for US and Canada stores, at $5 per review left
• Klaviyo, Smile.io, Omnisend and Gorgias

Pricing: Fera charges by monthly orders and review requests:

• Startup: $9/month, 200 orders and 100 requests
• Small: $29/month, 2,000 orders and 1,000 requests
• Medium: $99/month, 20,000 orders and 10,000 requests
• Semi-Large: $199/month, 50,000 orders and 25,000 requests
• Trial: 60 days

The trial needs a card, and you can't restart it once you cancel.

Reviews: Fera has 4.8 stars from 2,021 reviews on the Shopify App Store. One reviewer in October 2026 says support fixed their problems quickly after a theme change. Others in August and September 2026 say their review widgets went hidden at the plan limit until they upgraded.

Best for: A store that sells on Shopify and another platform and wants one reviews app across both.

I wouldn't choose it if: Your order count jumps in sale months. Rivyo's Enterprise plan stays at $19/month with no order limit.

See Fera on the Shopify App Store

3. AG Product Reviews: Best for a free setup with human support

AG Product Reviews is a reviews app made by Avada, and its listing shows it as free with no paid plan. It makes more sense when Judge.me's settings slowed you down and you'd rather talk to a person.

Why I like this app:

In my test, the quick start switched on the app embed for me, then opened the theme editor with the review box already placed. I also found dynamic follow-up questions by star rating, request emails with a delay for each country and discounts that rise for photo reviews. Its MCP server, on every store, can list, approve and reply to reviews from an AI assistant.

Compared with Judge.me:

AG Product Reviews' recent reviewers name the human agents who helped them almost every day, where Judge.me's critics describe an AI chat first. You'd give up video reviews and Judge.me's free store reviews, because one reviewer says AG Product Reviews has only product reviews. I couldn't find Q&A in it either.

Features:

• Automatic request emails on purchase, fulfilment or delivery
• Interactive emails, so buyers can review inside the email
• A request-to-edit email for a review you want changed
• Discounts for reviews, or Joy loyalty points instead
• QR codes for each product
• A review box, stars, a carousel, a popup and a sidebar
• Testimonials and an all reviews page
• Customer eligibility, auto-publish rules and alerts for negative reviews
• Imports from AliExpress, CJdropshipping, XLSX files and other apps
• Rich snippets and an XML export for Google Merchant Center
• Klaviyo, Joy, PageFly, PushOwl/Brevo and Shopify Flow

Apart from the MCP server and automatic review translation, I found no AI features in it.

Pricing: AG Product Reviews shows no charge on its listing:

• Free: no plan limit shown
• Trial: none listed

Its help docs still describe paid plans, so confirm the price inside the app.

Reviews: AG Product Reviews has 4.9 stars from 3,210 reviews on the Shopify App Store. One reviewer from Austria praises its many design options, translated emails and quick support. Another from Estonia says review content can only translate automatically, with no manual edits, and that imports need both the product handle and ID.

Best for: A small store that wants Judge.me's free basics with a person on chat when it gets stuck.

I wouldn't choose it if: Customer videos sell your products. Fera and REVIEWS.io both include video reviews.

See AG Product Reviews on the Shopify App Store

4. Okendo: Best for guided onboarding and loyalty in one account

Okendo is a customer marketing platform that sells reviews, loyalty, referrals, quizzes and surveys from one account. I'd choose it when you also pay for a loyalty or quiz app and want help setting them up.

Why I like this app:

The importer impressed me first, because it recognises a Judge.me export automatically. I also found attribute ratings, so shoppers can score qualities such as fit or comfort, and AI replies on every plan. Recent reviewers name the people who onboarded them, which answers one of Judge.me's main complaints. I liked having loyalty, quizzes and surveys in the same app more than the apps with reviews alone.

Compared with Judge.me:

Okendo adds attribute ratings and loyalty from the same account, where Judge.me relies on Smile or LoyaltyLion. You'd give up the flat price, because Okendo moves from $19/month to $119/month once you pass 200 orders. Q&A and AI summaries wait for Growth at $119/month.

Features:

• Automated request emails and a smart review form
• Attribute ratings and a rewards engine
• Imports that detect Judge.me, Yotpo, Stamped and Loox files
• Reviews widget, stars, badge, carousel and reviews tab
• Moderation, auto-publish logic and a profanity filter
• AI sentiment analysis and AI replies on every plan
• AI summaries, keywords and a Q&A widget on Growth
• Google Shopping, TikTok Shop and Meta on Growth
• A read-only MCP server on Growth
• Loyalty, referrals, quizzes and surveys from the same account
• Klaviyo, Gorgias, Postscript and Shopify Flow

Pricing: Okendo charges by monthly orders:

• Free: up to 50 orders a month
• Essential: $19/month, up to 200 orders
• Growth: $119/month, up to 1,500 orders
• Power: $299/month, up to 3,500 orders
• Trial: 14 days

Loyalty, referrals, quizzes and surveys cost extra on top of reviews.

Reviews: Okendo has 4.8 stars from 1,447 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A chocolate brand says it has gathered more reviews, loyalty sign-ups and referrals since the summer. Another store says its review requests still weren't live 6 weeks after it installed.

Best for: A growing brand that wants reviews, loyalty and quizzes set up with the help of a named person.

I wouldn't choose it if: You need Q&A without a big step in price. Fera includes it on its $9/month plan.

See Okendo on the Shopify App Store

5. Rivyo: Best for a long feature list under $20/month

Rivyo is a product reviews app that adds Q&A and store reviews early, with loyalty and referrals sold as add-ons. Choose it when you want most of Judge.me's Awesome features at a similar price, with a different support team.

Why I like this app:

The plans surprised me, because Starter adds unlimited Q&A, store reviews, reminders and a multi-step review form at $9/month. Enterprise, at $19/month, removes the order limit and adds unlimited video and AI replies. It names Judge.me as an import source, with no cap on those imports. I could also show reviews on the cart page and collect them on the order status page.

Compared with Judge.me:

Rivyo gives you an XML feed for Google Shopping that you add to Merchant Center yourself, instead of a central feed like Judge.me's. You'd give up video reviews on the lower plans and the Shop app and TikTok syncing, which Rivyo lists as coming soon. You'll need Business or higher before Google Shopping appears.

Features:

• Unlimited product reviews and CSV import and export on every plan
• Imports from Judge.me, Loox, Stamped and Yotpo
• Amazon, AliExpress and Etsy imports with limits by plan
• Unlimited Q&A, store reviews and reminders from Starter
• Review rewards, QR codes and product grouping from Business
• A Google Shopping XML feed from Business
• Unlimited video reviews and AI replies on Enterprise
• Reviews at checkout for Plus stores on Enterprise
• A cart reviews widget and order status page reviews
• Advanced analytics and a weekly digest on every plan
• Klaviyo, Slack, PageFly, GemPages, Recharge and Appstle

Pricing: Rivyo charges by monthly orders:

• Free: 100 orders a month
• Starter: $9/month, 500 orders
• Business: $14/month, 1,000 orders
• Enterprise: $19/month, unlimited orders
• Trial: 7 days

Loyalty is a $29/month add-on and referrals a $19/month add-on, on any plan.

Reviews: Rivyo has 4.9 stars from 939 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A Japanese store says support answered patiently with screenshots, although it offers no Japanese. Another merchant says they couldn't open the app or reach support for months in 2025.

Best for: A budget-conscious store that wants Q&A and store reviews without paying for a larger platform.

I wouldn't choose it if: Shop app reviews matter to you today. Loox syncs with the Shop app in both directions on its free plan.

See Rivyo on the Shopify App Store

6. REVIEWS.io: Best for building a Google Seller Rating

REVIEWS.io is a reviews platform that collects product and company reviews from the same invite. It suits a store that wants a rating for the business in Google Ads as well as stars on products.

Why I like this app:

I like that each invite collects a product review and a review of the store, and those company reviews build a public page and a Google Seller Rating. Seller Ratings start on Launch at $19/month. Its AI Widget Builder styled my widgets from a prompt, and the Shop app sync works even on the free plan.

Compared with Judge.me:

REVIEWS.io adds a Google Seller Rating and a public company page, which Judge.me doesn't list. You'd give up some control, because REVIEWS.io's docs say you can't delete a genuine review and can only ask its team to moderate it. It only imports Judge.me reviews by itself on its direct Start-Up plan at $79/month, within your first 90 days.

Features:

• Product and company reviews from one invite
• Automated requests by email and SMS
• Photo and video reviews
• 15+ widgets and a customisable collector page
• An AI Widget Builder
• Shop App sync on every plan
• Google Seller Ratings and rich snippets on Launch
• Review Booster emails to past customers on Launch
• Surveys, NPS and attributes on Launch Plus
• An AI Review Summary and Expert Answers Q&A on Launch Plus
• Klaviyo, Attentive, Gorgias and Shopify Flow

Pricing: REVIEWS.io charges by monthly review invites:

• Free: 25 invites a month
• Launch: $19/month, 50 invites
• Launch Plus: $45/month, 500 invites
• Trial: 14 days

Every email or SMS request counts as one invite, and higher plans bill outside Shopify.

Reviews: REVIEWS.io has 4.7 stars from 779 reviews on the Shopify App Store. One Australian store says it sent over its export file and the team did the rest. Another says sending emails from its own domain wasn't included at $45/month.

Best for: A store that advertises on Google and wants a Seller Rating next to its product stars.

I wouldn't choose it if: You send hundreds of review requests a month on a small budget. Judge.me's free plan sends unlimited requests.

See REVIEWS.io on the Shopify App Store

7. Loox: Best for photo-led product pages

Loox is a visual reviews app that sorts customer photos and videos to the front of your product pages. I'd choose it when your products sell on how they look in real customers' hands.

Why I like this app:

The visual AI is why I'd look at Loox, because smart sorting moves the best photos and videos to the top and AI Review Stories turn them into short highlights. Loox Studio also turned reviews into social posts and stories for me. Referrals come in the same app on Convert, with post-purchase and post-review widgets. It has a help guide for importing Judge.me reviews.

Compared with Judge.me:

Loox syncs reviews with the Shop app in both directions on its free plan, and its AI focuses on visuals rather than text. You'd give up Judge.me's flat price, because Convert starts at $49.99/month for 300 orders and adds $50 for every 300 more. I didn't find Q&A anywhere on its listing or plans.

Features:

• Review request emails, reminders and QR codes
• Discount codes for photo and video reviews
• Photo reviews on every plan and video reviews on Convert
• 17+ widgets, including carousels, a popup and a sidebar
• AI smart sorting, highlights, summaries and Review Stories on Convert
• AI translations and replies on Convert
• Loox Studio for social posts and stories
• Post-purchase, on-site and post-review referrals on Convert
• Two-way Shop app sync
• Google Shopping, Meta and TikTok Shop on Convert
• Klaviyo, Omnisend, LoyaltyLion and Shopify Flow

Pricing: Loox charges by orders:

• Free: up to 500 total orders
• Convert: $49.99/month, 300 orders, then $50 per 300 more
• Unlimited: $299.99/month
• Trial: 14 days

The free plan's 500 orders count in total, not each month, so you'll need to upgrade once you pass them.

Reviews: Loox has 4.9 stars from 10,044 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A UK store says Loox was the easiest app it installed and that emails to past customers brought in new reviews. Other merchants in 2026 say it gets too expensive as order numbers grow.

Best for: A fashion, beauty or home brand whose customer photos do most of the selling.

I wouldn't choose it if: Your order count is high and your margins are thin. Judge.me stays at $15/month at any volume.

See Loox on the Shopify App Store

How do you choose between Judge.me and these alternatives?

Name the reason you're leaving first, then check the new app solves it on a plan you can afford. Five questions will cut the list down.

Does the app fix your reason for leaving? When Google Shopping is the problem, ask how it treats imported reviews before you pay. When the dashboard was the problem, open the new app's settings during the trial and change a widget colour and a request email yourself.

Which Judge.me features would you lose? Free video reviews, store reviews and Shop app syncing are the ones I'd check, because only some of these apps match all 3. Look at last month's Judge.me data and see whether you used them.

Will it match your theme without code? On my test store, nearly every app was highly responsive, user friendly and customisable. With Vitals and REVIEWS.io, I could also describe a change to an AI tool and it built the result for my store. Open every widget on your phone before you decide.

How does it fit with your other apps? Judge.me's Awesome plan connects to 130+ tools, including Klaviyo, Omnisend and Gorgias. Okendo, REVIEWS.io and Fera connect to Klaviyo and Gorgias too, and Rivyo lists the most page builders and subscription apps.

What do recent reviews say about support? Merchants often name the agents who helped them on AG Product Reviews and Okendo. When I hit setup problems, some customer success teams sorted them in minutes and others took hours to answer. Send one support question during your trial and note how long the reply takes.

Choose Vitals if you want one fixed plan that doesn't increase with order volume and you'd use its other apps. Choose AG Product Reviews if you want no bill and a person on chat. Choose Rivyo if Q&A and store reviews matter most. Stay on Judge.me if you use its free video reviews, Shop app sync and 130+ integrations.

Will a Judge.me alternative cost you less?

Probably not, because Judge.me's paid plan never goes above $15/month. AG Product Reviews shows no charge and Rivyo starts at $9/month, but Okendo, REVIEWS.io and Loox cost more once your store grows.

Most alternatives charge by orders, invites or requests, so the bill moves with your sales. Judge.me charges the same at 50 orders and at 50,000. The cheaper plans also leave things out. Rivyo keeps video for Enterprise, Fera's Startup plan sends 100 requests a month and REVIEWS.io's Launch plan sends 50.

Say your store takes 1,500 orders a month. Judge.me's Awesome plan still costs $15/month.These alternatives cost:

• AG Product Reviews: no charge shown
• Rivyo: $19/month on Enterprise
• Fera: $29/month on Small, which sends up to 1,000 requests
• Okendo: $119/month on Growth
• Loox: $249.99/month on Convert

REVIEWS.io counts invites rather than orders, so its price depends on how many requests you send. Vitals has one fixed plan at $29.99/month, which doesn't increase with your order volume, and the same plan includes 40+ other apps.

Over 2 years, Judge.me's Awesome plan costs $360, and I didn't find an annual discount on it. AG Product Reviews shows no charge over the same period, and Rivyo's Enterprise costs $456 on monthly billing or $364.80 on annual billing.

Before you compare prices, add up what you also pay for apps that Vitals or Okendo would replace, such as loyalty, bundles or pop-ups.

What happens to your Google Shopping reviews when you leave Judge.me?

The reviews Judge.me already sent to Google stay there, because its help docs say you can't remove them from its central Merchant Center feed. Your new app then has to build its own feed, and imported reviews may not count toward it.

Each app treats imports differently. Vitals starts its feed URL once you have 50 eligible reviews, and AliExpress and Amazon imports don't count. REVIEWS.io shows imported reviews as third-party reviews unless their order IDs match, and Rivyo and AG Product Reviews give you an XML feed to submit in Merchant Center yourself.

Ask the new app which of your Judge.me reviews will count, and check your Google Shopping stars a week after you switch the feed.

How much control do you get over reviews in other apps?

More than on Judge.me in some apps, and less in one. The difference shows when you want to fix an imported review, hold one back or ask a customer to update theirs.

Vitals offers edits to imported and self-added reviews, but it doesn't edit reviews that shoppers wrote, under Shopify's rules. AG Product Reviews sends a request-to-edit email to the customer and you can choose who may review, from everyone to verified buyers only. Okendo and Fera both offer auto-publish rules and moderation on every plan.

REVIEWS.io gives you the least control here. Its docs say genuine reviews publish within 14 days and you can't delete them, only ask its team to moderate them.

Test the exact change you couldn't make on Judge.me during your trial, such as a reviewer's name or a review held for approval.

When does it make sense to stay on Judge.me?

I'd stay on Judge.me if you want unlimited video reviews for free and your current setup works. No alternative here beats its price for what the free plan includes.

Its free plan includes unlimited product and store reviews, photos, videos and requests, plus Google rich snippets and Shop app sync. Awesome adds Q&A, AI replies, SMS, coupons, Google Shopping, TikTok Shop and Meta at $15/month, and its site says that's the most you can ever pay. It also lists 24/7 human chat and email support on every plan. See Judge.me on the Shopify App Store.

Before you leave, write down the one setting that made you look elsewhere, and check whether Judge.me's support can change it in a single chat.

How do you move from Judge.me to another app?

Your reviews and photos move across easily, but videos, Q&A and your request schedules need more work. Judge.me exports reviews as a CSV on its free plan, with up to 100,000 reviews per file.

I'd export these from Judge.me before you change anything:

• Product and store reviews, with their photos
• Review videos, which the CSV leaves out, so download them by hand
• Q&A, because I only found an import for it in Judge.me's docs

Vitals, Okendo, Rivyo and Loox all name Judge.me as an import source, and Fera connects to it with a private token. REVIEWS.io imports Judge.me reviews by itself only on its direct Start-Up plan, and AG Product Reviews offers imports from other apps without naming Judge.me.

The same 6 steps apply to every app on this list:

1. Export your reviews from Judge.me, and download your review videos.
2. Add the new app on its free plan or trial, working on a duplicate of your theme.
3. Import your reviews, then compare a handful of photos, dates and verified badges with Judge.me.
4. Set up the same request email and timing you have on Judge.me, so you're comparing like with like, then check it on your phone.
5. Pay for a plan once it passes your checks, then publish the duplicate theme.
6. Turn off Judge.me's app embed, remove its blocks and uninstall it before your next billing date.

Installing is quick, at 5 to 10 minutes on almost every app. Checking the imported reviews takes longer. One REVIEWS.io reviewer says they couldn't complete a move from Judge.me in October 2025, while Fera's reviewers describe imports as easy.

Keep your Judge.me export for at least 3 months. One merchant says Judge.me keeps your data after you uninstall unless you ask it to erase it, so send that request once you're sure.

What changes in unusual situations?

Very high volumes, stores on other platforms, plan-only features and large review histories can each change the best app.

At unusually high or seasonal order volumes, Judge.me and Rivyo's Enterprise plan don't count orders at all. Fera's plans climb by orders and requests, and reviewers say widgets hid at the limit. Okendo reaches $299/month at 3,500 orders, and Loox's Unlimited plan costs $299.99/month.

With several stores or a second platform, check what each app syncs. Judge.me shares reviews between stores on Awesome, but it stopped supporting WooCommerce, BigCommerce and other platforms by January 2026. Fera runs on Wix, BigCommerce and Squarespace and syncs stores from Medium at $99/month, and REVIEWS.io runs on WooCommerce and Magento.

Several features wait for a higher plan. Okendo keeps Q&A and AI summaries for Growth, Rivyo keeps video and AI for Enterprise and REVIEWS.io keeps Q&A and surveys for Launch Plus. Loox keeps video and all its AI for Convert.

A headless store or a large review history narrows the list. Okendo supports headless stores, Rivyo offers it on Enterprise and REVIEWS.io needs its Plus plan for Hydrogen. Vitals imports up to 10,000 reviews per file, so split a large Judge.me export into smaller files and allow time to check each one.

Which Judge.me alternative would I start with?

I'd start with Vitals, because the reviews come with 40+ other apps in one subscription, so you can cancel more than one bill. Choose AG Product Reviews when you want no charge and a person to help, and Rivyo when Q&A and store reviews matter most. Stay on Judge.me if its free video reviews and Shop app sync are what you rely on. Put your 2 favourites on a duplicate theme with the same request email and widget, then judge them on what shoppers see and how much work each one took.

What do merchants often ask about Judge.me alternatives?

Is there a free alternative to Judge.me?

Yes, AG Product Reviews is the closest free option, with no plan limit shown on its listing. Rivyo's free plan resets at 100 orders a month, Okendo's at 50 orders a month and REVIEWS.io's at 25 invites a month. Loox's free plan stops at 500 orders in total and doesn't reset.

How much does Judge.me cost in 2026?

Judge.me has a free plan with unlimited reviews and requests, and its paid Awesome plan costs $15/month with a 15-day trial. The price doesn't change with your order count. Its email marketing app is separate and has its own pricing.

Is Judge.me a good app?

Yes, Judge.me is a good app, with 5.0 stars from 48,747 reviews and the most generous free plan I found. An alternative makes more sense when you need imported reviews in Google Shopping or you'd rather reach a person than an AI chat first.

Does Judge.me charge more as your orders grow?

No, Judge.me charges a flat $15/month on Awesome at any order count. Rivyo's Enterprise plan also stays flat at $19/month, while Fera, Okendo and Loox rise with your orders.

Can you move your reviews from Judge.me to another app?

Yes, Judge.me exports reviews as a CSV, and Vitals, Okendo, Rivyo and Loox all name it as an import source. Fera connects with a private token. Your review videos, Q&A and request schedules need separate work.

Do Judge.me alternatives slow down a store?

A single review app won't, but each extra app adds to the load, and many stores run 10 to 15 of them. Vitals surprised me here, because its 40+ apps share one script, so I could switch any of them on or off without worrying about load time. Test your product pages before and after you install any review app.
