Best Ryviu alternatives reviewed in 2026

Short answer: Which app you move to depends on why you're leaving Ryviu. Choose 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, with 40+ other apps in that plan. Choose Judge.me when you want Google Shopping stars and video reviews for $15/month, less than Ryviu's Unlimited plan. Choose AG Product Reviews when you'd rather pay nothing, because its listing shows it as free. Choose Okendo, from $19/month, when your Ryviu loyalty add-on has become as important as your reviews.

Ryviu is a budget product reviews app that dropshipping stores use to fill product pages with reviews imported from AliExpress, Amazon, Etsy and other marketplaces. But its cheaper plans leave out video reviews and the Google Shopping feed, which only arrive on Unlimited at $19.99/month, and its support team doesn't work at weekends.

So I set up 7 Ryviu alternatives on one test store and noted, for each, the job it suits, its price in November 2026 and the Ryviu features you'd lose.

Why do merchants look for a Ryviu alternative?

Support is the main reason, followed by features that only the top plan includes. Price rarely comes up, because Ryviu's paid plans run from $6.99/month to $19.99/month.

Help can take days to arrive. In recent reviews from March 2024 to May 2025, merchants say they got bot answers, waited days for a reply or found nobody there at the weekend. Ryviu confirms in its replies that the team doesn't work weekends. Vitals, Judge.me, AG Product Reviews, CWILL and Loox all list 24/7 support, so a problem on a Saturday doesn't have to wait until Monday.

The features merchants expect sit on the top plan. Ryviu includes Google rich snippets from the free plan, but the Google Shopping feed and video reviews start on Unlimited, and one merchant who expected the feed lower down switched to Judge.me. Bulk export also needs Unlimited. Judge.me sends reviews to Google Shopping at $15/month, and Vitals includes a feed and video reviews in its one plan.

Imported reviews are hard to manage. Merchants report CSV errors caused by apostrophes, no bulk delete and no way to edit an imported review's text. Ryviu replies that Shopify's policy stops dashboard edits, so you edit the CSV and import it again. One merchant in July 2026 also found no way to request reviews from past orders. Vitals offers editing of imported reviews, and Judge.me and CWILL both send requests to past orders.

These come from 27 of its 513 reviews, so most merchants don't report them.

Which Ryviu alternatives made my shortlist?

I selected apps that do the same job as Ryviu, with a rating of 4.8 or higher and at least one merchant review posted in the past year.These 7 alternatives made my shortlist:

1. Vitals: product reviews and 40+ other apps in one subscription
2. AG Product Reviews: a Google Merchant Center export at no charge
3. Fera: a 60-day trial and imports from Etsy, Google and Facebook
4. Okendo: loyalty, referrals and quizzes run from the same account
5. Loox: AI that puts the best customer photos and videos first
6. CWILL: review requests on WhatsApp and reviews translated automatically
7. Judge.me: Google Shopping, Q&A and video at a flat $15/month

I've put each app's rating, starting price and how it charges in this table, with Ryviu first as the baseline:

Prices as of November 2026. Developers change them, so check each listing before you choose.

When Google Shopping is your reason for leaving, compare Judge.me, AG Product Reviews and Vitals first.

How did I review these Ryviu alternatives?

I installed each app on a test store, then went through each App Store listing, every plan and the newest and lowest-rated merchant reviews. I used Ryviu as the baseline for each comparison.

I looked at these details for each app:

• Imports: which marketplaces and apps it brings reviews from, and whether you can edit them afterwards
• Review collection: how it asks for reviews, such as email, WhatsApp, SMS or a QR code
• Display: which widgets it offers, and whether it includes video reviews and Q&A
• Google: whether it adds rich snippets only or also sends reviews to Google Shopping
• AI features: what AI does in each app, such as summaries, moderation or replies
• Integrations: which email, loyalty and page builder tools it works with
• Setup: how long each app took me to get running
• Design: how each app looked on my test store and whether it matched my theme
• Speed: what one more app adds to a store, since one app alone won't slow pages but many stores run 10 to 15 apps
• Pricing: how each app charges, its plan limits and what each plan includes
• Reviews: what the newest and lowest-rated App Store reviews say, including about support
• Moving: what you can bring across from Ryviu, such as reviews, Q&A and loyalty points

Vitals is first because it comes with 40+ other apps. The other 6 appear in random order, so their position isn't a ranking.

I don't give speed scores, because they depend on your theme and your other apps. Testing on your own store tells you more, and every app here has a free plan or trial.

What did I find when I compared them with Ryviu?

These alternatives fall into 3 groups: apps built around reviews (AG Product Reviews, Fera, Loox, CWILL, Judge.me), a reviews app with loyalty in the same account (Okendo) 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 replaced another subscription on my test store.

I found 5 main differences from Ryviu.The apps differ on which ones they include, so check which you need before you compare prices:

• Marketplace imports: Ryviu imports from AliExpress, Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, Shopee and DHgate. Vitals offers AliExpress and Amazon, Judge.me and Fera add Etsy, AG Product Reviews adds CJdropshipping and CWILL keeps imported AliExpress reviews up to date. I didn't find Walmart, Shopee or DHgate on any of them.
• Google Shopping: Ryviu keeps its feed for Unlimited at $19.99/month. Judge.me includes it at $15/month, AG Product Reviews offers an XML export at no charge, Vitals gives you a feed URL in its one plan and CWILL keeps it for Pro at $29.99/month.
• Video reviews: Ryviu starts them on Unlimited. Judge.me includes them on its free plan, Vitals in its one plan and Loox on Convert. AG Product Reviews doesn't list them.
• Q&A: Ryviu includes it from Basic at $6.99/month. Fera includes it from $9/month and Judge.me at $15/month, while Okendo and CWILL keep it for higher plans. I didn't find it on Vitals, AG Product Reviews or Loox.
• Loyalty: Ryviu adds points and VIP tiers for $15/month or includes them on Unlimited. Okendo runs a full loyalty programme from the same account, and AG Product Reviews, Fera, Loox and Judge.me connect to separate loyalty apps.

I also found these differences in how the apps work:

• Reports: Ryviu has no reports that I could find. Judge.me compares each stage of review collection, CWILL analyses review performance and Fera includes review analytics on every plan.
• AI features: I didn't find any built-in AI in Ryviu. Vitals has an AI review summary, and with Vitals MCP you can do everything in Vitals with Claude or ChatGPT. Judge.me drafts FAQs and replies, Loox sorts the best visuals first, Fera moderates reviews with AI and Okendo writes replies on every plan.
• Setup: almost every app took me 5 to 10 minutes, so setup time isn't a reason to pick one.
• Design: almost every app was highly responsive, user friendly and customisable on my test store. Okendo and Fera also offer CSS editing for finer control.
• Speed: one review app won't slow your pages on its own. The load builds up as a store adds apps for bundles, upsells and pop-ups, so the bigger gain comes from having fewer of them.

What are the best Ryviu alternatives?

Vitals is my top pick for merchants leaving Ryviu, because its one plan includes product reviews and 40+ other apps. Judge.me comes next for stores that want Google Shopping stars at a lower price than Ryviu's top plan. The other 5 suit stores that want a free app, a long trial, loyalty, AI for visual reviews or WhatsApp requests.

1. Vitals: Best for dropshipping stores that want reviews and their other apps on one plan

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 also pay separately for bundles, upsells or pop-ups.

Why I like this app:

Imported product reviews were the first thing I tried, and the filters for rating and content meant I could skip short or low-rated ones before they reached my store. Unlike on Ryviu, I could edit the text of an imported review afterwards. Vitals also offers 40+ other apps, such as bundles, upsells and pop-ups, so you don't have to add and pay for each one on top of your reviews app. Vitals MCP also meant I could do everything in Vitals with Claude or ChatGPT.

Compared with Ryviu:

Vitals includes video, the Google feed and 24/7 live chat in one fixed plan that doesn't increase with your order volume, where Ryviu keeps the first 2 for Unlimited and doesn't work at weekends. You'd give up Q&A and imports from Etsy, Walmart, Shopee and DHgate, which I didn't find on its Product Reviews page. There's no free plan.

Features:

• AliExpress and Amazon imports with rating and content filters
• CSV, XLS, XLSX and ODS imports, up to 10,000 reviews per file
• Editing of imported reviews
• Request emails after fulfilment, purchase or delivery, with up to 2 reminders
• Photo and video reviews
• A discount code emailed after a review
• Reviews widget in grid, list or slider, plus stars on collection cards
• A carousel, an all reviews badge and a Happy Customers page
• An AI review summary with keywords
• Review groups that share reviews across products
• Banned words and approval before publishing
• 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. One recent reviewer from Italy praises its many simple, effective apps and excellent support. Another reviewer says they couldn't reach the team after several tries, and Vitals replied that its team is on chat and email every day.

Best for: A dropshipping store that imports AliExpress or Amazon reviews and wants to drop its separate bundle and upsell apps too.

I wouldn't choose it if: Shoppers ask a lot of questions on your product pages. Fera includes Q&A from $9/month.

See Vitals on the Shopify App Store

2. AG Product Reviews: Best for a free Google Merchant Center export

AG Product Reviews is a reviews app from Avada, and its listing shows it as free. It makes more sense when you're paying for Ryviu only to get reviews into Google.

Why I like this app:

When I checked the export options, I found an XML file for Google Merchant Center with no plan to buy, which Ryviu keeps for Unlimited. Imports from AliExpress and CJdropshipping work by URL, with up to 100 reviews per product and filters for rating and media. I also found request emails timed by country and a read-write MCP server, so I could approve and reply to reviews from an AI assistant.

Compared with Ryviu:

AG Product Reviews removes the monthly bill and lists 24/7 support, the 2 things that answer most of Ryviu's complaints. You'd give up Ryviu's loyalty points, though AG Product Reviews connects to Joy for points instead. Video reviews and Q&A were missing from it.

Features:

• Automatic request emails on purchase, fulfilment or delivery
• Interactive emails that collect a review inside the email
• Send delays set by country
• Discounts for reviews, with a higher value for photos
• AliExpress and CJdropshipping imports by URL
• XLSX imports and file imports from other apps
• A review box, stars, a carousel, a popup and a sidebar
• An all reviews page and testimonials
• Rich snippets and an XML export for Google Merchant Center
• An MCP server to list, approve and reply to reviews
• Klaviyo, Joy, PageFly and Shopify Flow

I didn't find any AI features in it, apart from its MCP server and automatic translation.

Pricing: AG Product Reviews lists no paid plan:

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

Its docs FAQ still describes paid plans, so check the price inside the app before you rely on it.

Reviews: AG Product Reviews has 4.9 stars from 3,210 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A store in Japan wrote in November 2026 that a named agent solved what the AI chat couldn't. Another reviewer says reviews only translate automatically, and that imports need both the product handle and ID.

Best for: A small store that wants its reviews in Google Shopping and doesn't want a monthly bill.

I wouldn't choose it if: You sell one-of-a-kind products and need store reviews, because one reviewer says it only collects product reviews. Judge.me collects both on its free plan.

See AG Product Reviews on the Shopify App Store

3. Fera: Best for a long trial and reviews from Etsy, Google and Facebook

Fera is a reviews app with Q&A that brings in reviews from other sites and runs on Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce and more. I'd choose it when you sell on Etsy or have a Google Business Profile and want those reviews on your product pages.

Why I like this app:

The 60-day trial stood out, because it gave me 2 months to test before paying. Fera syncs reviews from Etsy, Google, Facebook, Amazon and AliExpress, and it imports from Judge.me with a private token. Q&A for product and store questions starts on its $9/month plan. Ferify, its AI moderation, approves or declines reviews after a delay you set.

Compared with Ryviu:

Fera adds Etsy, Google and Facebook reviews and keeps Q&A on its first plan, the same as Ryviu's Basic. You'd give up Ryviu's Walmart, Shopee and DHgate imports and its loyalty add-on, because Fera gives points through Smile.io or BON. The $9/month plan includes only 100 review requests a month.

Features:

• Automatic requests, including on delivery, and follow-ups
• Direct review links and a review popup for returning visitors
• Store review requests
• SMS requests in beta, for US and Canada at $5 per review
• Sync from Etsy, Google, Facebook, Amazon and AliExpress
• Imports from Judge.me, Loox, Stamped, Yotpo and CSV files
• Product reviews, ratings, a media gallery and a floating badge
• Q&A for product and store questions
• Discounts, cashback or loyalty points for reviews
• Ferify AI moderation and AI review replies
• Google Shopping and Google Search ratings
• Multi-store sync on Medium
• Klaviyo, Omnisend, Gorgias and Zapier

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 can't restart 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 widgets quickly after a theme change. Others say widgets disappeared from the store once they reached their request limit, until they upgraded.

Best for: A store that sells on Etsy or other sites and wants all its reviews shown in one place.

I wouldn't choose it if: You want the Built for Shopify badge, which Fera's listing doesn't show. Ryviu and CWILL both have it.

See Fera on the Shopify App Store

4. Okendo: Best for a fuller loyalty programme beside your reviews

Okendo is a reviews and loyalty platform that also runs referrals, quizzes and surveys from one account. It makes more sense when Ryviu's points and VIP tiers no longer go far enough.

Why I like this app:

The loyalty side is what I'd look at Okendo for, with points, VIP tiers, store credit and referral flows with fraud protection. In my test, the review form could ask shoppers to rate specific qualities of a product, and AI replies came on every plan. Growth adds Q&A, AI summaries and a read-only MCP server. I liked having reviews, loyalty and quizzes in the same app more than the apps with reviews alone.

Compared with Ryviu:

Okendo turns Ryviu's add-on into a full programme with referrals and store credit, managed from the same account as your reviews. You'd pay much more for it, because Q&A needs Growth at $119/month, against $6.99/month on Ryviu. I didn't find marketplace imports such as AliExpress.

Features:

• Automated request emails and a smart review form
• Attribute ratings for product qualities
• Review grouping, search and auto-publish rules
• AI sentiment analysis and AI replies on every plan
• AI summaries, keywords and a Q&A widget on Growth
• Google, TikTok Shop and Meta syndication
• Review campaigns and an advanced CSS editor on Power
• Loyalty, referrals, quizzes and surveys from the same account
• Headless support with an API and webhooks
• 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 have their own pricing on top of reviews.

Reviews: Okendo has 4.8 stars from 1,447 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A chocolate brand wrote in November 2026 that it has collected more reviews, loyalty members and referrals since the summer. Another reviewer says a bug with points, store credit and tax stayed unfixed for 3 months.

Best for: A growing brand that wants loyalty, referrals and reviews from one supplier and has outgrown Ryviu's add-on.

I wouldn't choose it if: Most of your reviews come from AliExpress or Amazon. CWILL imports up to 500 AliExpress reviews per product and keeps them up to date.

See Okendo on the Shopify App Store

5. Loox: Best for photo-led brands that want AI on visual reviews

Loox is a visual reviews app that collects photos and videos and uses AI to sort and summarise them. Choose it when your products sell on how they look in customers' hands.

Why I like this app:

Loox's AI is the reason I'd look at it, because it sorts the best photos and videos to the top, pulls out highlights and writes summaries and replies. I also found two-way sync with the Shop App and syndication to Google Shopping, Meta and TikTok Shop. Loox Studio turns reviews into social posts. Referrals come in the same app.

Compared with Ryviu:

Loox adds the AI, video and syndication that Ryviu keeps off its cheaper plans or doesn't offer at all. You'd give up Q&A and most of Ryviu's marketplace imports, because Loox's AliExpress importer scans 20 reviews on the free plan. Its video reviews and AI tools start on Convert at $49.99/month.

Features:

• Request emails, reminders and QR codes
• Discounts for photo reviews
• 17+ widgets, including carousels and snippets
• Video reviews on Convert
• AI sorting, highlights, summaries and stories on Convert
• AI translations and replies on Convert
• Two-way Shop App sync
• Google Shopping, Meta and TikTok Shop syndication on Convert
• Loox Studio for social posts
• Post-purchase and on-site referrals on Convert
• Imports from other apps, spreadsheets and AliExpress
• Klaviyo, Omnisend and LoyaltyLion

Pricing: Loox charges by orders:

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

Reviews: Loox has 4.9 stars from 10,044 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A UK reviewer in October 2026 says emails to previous customers brought in new reviews. A French store leaving the app says it's too expensive.

Best for: A fashion or beauty brand whose customer photos and videos sell the product.

I wouldn't choose it if: Your order count is climbing and price is why you liked Ryviu. Judge.me holds at $15/month at any volume.

See Loox on the Shopify App Store

6. CWILL: Best for WhatsApp requests and translated reviews

CWILL Product Reviews, formerly Trustoo, is a reviews app with AliExpress imports, auto-translation and requests beyond email. I'd choose it when you sell across countries and want reviews in your shoppers' languages.

Why I like this app:

In my test, I found request channels that Ryviu doesn't offer, such as WhatsApp, push notifications and QR codes. AliExpress imports go up to 500 reviews per product, and CWILL keeps them updated as new ones arrive. Reviews translate into one language on Essential and several on Pro, and AI summaries appear on the product page and home page. Unlike on Ryviu, I could edit reviews in the dashboard.

Compared with Ryviu:

CWILL sends requests to past orders and lists 24/7 support in many languages, both gaps that Ryviu reviewers mention. You'd give up Ryviu's in-app loyalty, because CWILL sells loyalty as a separate app. Video, Q&A and Google Shopping all need Pro at $29.99/month.

Features:

• Unlimited review request emails on every plan
• Requests by WhatsApp, push, QR code and review link
• Requests to past orders
• Discounts for reviews, with separate rules for photos
• AliExpress imports with auto-update on Essential
• Amazon, CSV and XLSX imports
• Imports that read other apps' export files automatically
• 10+ widgets, including an all reviews page and carousels
• AI review summaries on the product page and home page
• Auto-translation into one language on Essential, several on Pro
• Video reviews, Q&A, product grouping and Google Shopping on Pro
• TikTok Shop sync for US stores
• Klaviyo, Gorgias, PageFly and EComposer

Pricing: CWILL charges a flat fee for each plan:

• Free: 6 reviews shown per product
• Essential: $11.99/month
• Pro: $29.99/month
• Trial: 7 days

Neither paid plan counts orders.

Reviews: CWILL has 4.9 stars from 1,587 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A 4-year user praises the discounts for photo reviews and the number of widget placements. Another reviewer says no request emails went out for months on a paid plan, and CWILL says its trigger settings caused the delay.

Best for: A store selling in several countries that wants reviews translated and requests sent on WhatsApp.

I wouldn't choose it if: You want loyalty points in the same app as your reviews. Okendo manages reviews and loyalty together.

See CWILL Product Reviews on the Shopify App Store

7. Judge.me: Best for Google Shopping and video at a flat $15/month

Judge.me is a reviews app with unlimited product reviews, store reviews and video on its free plan. It makes more sense when Ryviu's Unlimited plan is the one you'd need.

Why I like this app:

The free plan already covers what Ryviu keeps for Unlimited: video reviews, unlimited requests and imports from AliExpress, Amazon and Etsy. It also sends requests to past orders. Awesome at $15/month adds Google Shopping, Q&A, reminders, coupons and AI replies, and the site says $15 is the most you'll ever pay. I found 24/7 human chat on every plan, too.

Compared with Ryviu:

Judge.me gives you the Google feed, video and Q&A together for $4.99/month less than Ryviu's Unlimited. You'd give up the loyalty that Ryviu includes on Unlimited, because Judge.me connects to Smile or LoyaltyLion instead.

Features:

• Unlimited product and store reviews
• Unlimited photo and video reviews
• Unlimited requests, including to past orders, with QR codes
• Imports from AliExpress, Amazon, Etsy, other apps and spreadsheets
• Review widget, stars, carousels and a trust badge
• Google rich snippets
• Reminders, coupons and SMS on Awesome
• Q&A and a Happy Customers page on Awesome
• An AI review summary, AI replies and FAQs drafted from reviews on Awesome
• Google Shopping, TikTok Shop and Meta on Awesome
• 130+ integrations on Awesome, including Klaviyo, Omnisend and Smile

Pricing: Judge.me charges a flat fee:

• Free: unlimited reviews and requests, with no order limit
• Awesome: $15/month
• Trial: 15 days

Reviews: Judge.me has 5.0 stars from 48,747 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A merchant in October 2026 says it's better value than the pricier tool they moved from. Other recent reviewers say settings are hard to find and reminders didn't send as set up.

Best for: A store that wants Google Shopping stars, video and Q&A without paying for Ryviu's top plan.

I wouldn't choose it if: Your Google Shopping stars rest on imported AliExpress reviews. Judge.me won't count most of them, so stay on Ryviu's Unlimited until you've collected 50 new reviews.

See Judge.me on the Shopify App Store

How do you choose between Ryviu and these alternatives?

Start with the reason you're leaving Ryviu, then check that the app you choose fixes it at a price you can pay. Most stores leave because of support or a feature locked on Unlimited.

Check first that the app fixes your problem on the plan you'd buy. When Google Shopping is the gap, Judge.me's Awesome plan and AG Product Reviews' free export both cost less than Ryviu's Unlimited. When you need Q&A, check the plan, because Okendo starts it at $119/month.

Then list the Ryviu features you use. Walmart, Shopee and DHgate imports and multiple sources per product don't appear on any of these apps, so look at where last month's imported reviews came from before you count them as a loss.

Your theme comes next. On my test store, almost every widget was highly responsive, user friendly and customisable. Vitals also built a result for my store when I asked Claude or ChatGPT. Open each widget on your phone before you decide.

Your email and page builder apps need checking as well. Ryviu works with page builders such as PageFly and GemPages, but I didn't find Klaviyo or Omnisend. Every app here lists Klaviyo, so moving is a chance to tie review requests into your email flows.

Support is the last check, and the main one for many Ryviu merchants. During my setup, a few customer success teams sorted problems within minutes, and others took hours to answer. Recent reviewers name the agents who helped them on AG Product Reviews and CWILL. Send a question on a Saturday during your trial and see when the answer comes.

Choose Vitals if you want product reviews and your other apps in one subscription. Choose Judge.me if you only need reviews and want Google Shopping at $15/month. Choose Okendo if loyalty matters as much as reviews. Stay on Ryviu if Q&A and marketplace imports are all you need and you rarely need help at weekends.

Will a Ryviu alternative cost you less?

Mostly not, because Ryviu is one of the cheapest paid review apps. AG Product Reviews and Judge.me cost less than Ryviu's Unlimited plan for the same Google and video features, while Fera, CWILL, Okendo and Loox cost more once you need them.

Ryviu charges by how many products and reviews you show, not by orders. Basic covers 400 products with 200 reviews each at $6.99/month, and Advance covers 1,000 products at $9.99/month. The free and cheaper plans on the alternatives leave things out too. AG Product Reviews has no video, and CWILL keeps video and Google Shopping for Pro.

Say your store has 1,000 orders a month and you want video reviews and Google Shopping. On Ryviu, that means Unlimited at $19.99/month.These alternatives cost:

• AG Product Reviews: no charge shown, without video
• Judge.me: $15/month
• Fera: $29/month on Small
• CWILL: $29.99/month on Pro
• Okendo: $119/month on Growth
• Loox: $199.99/month on Convert, which is $49.99 plus 3 steps of $50

Vitals stays at $29.99/month on one fixed plan that doesn't increase with order volume.

Over 2 years, Ryviu's Unlimited plan costs about $480 on monthly billing. Ryviu also sells yearly plans, which I didn't compare. Over those 2 years, Judge.me's Awesome plan comes to $360, while AG Product Reviews shows no charge.

Before you compare prices, count your products as well as your orders, because Ryviu's plans cap products and the alternatives cap orders or requests.

What happens to your imported AliExpress reviews when you leave Ryviu?

You can bring them across as a CSV, but they won't count toward Google Shopping on most new apps. Ryviu keeps each review's marketplace source, so you can tell which ones came from imports.

Vitals gives you a Google Shopping feed URL at 50 eligible reviews and leaves out AliExpress and Amazon imports. Judge.me also needs 50 eligible reviews and excludes most imported ones. So a store whose stars come mostly from AliExpress will see them on the product page but not in Google Shopping.

You can also import the reviews again from the source. Vitals, Judge.me, AG Product Reviews, CWILL, Fera and Loox all import from AliExpress, and CWILL keeps those reviews updated. Re-importing gives you the newest reviews, while the CSV keeps the ones you picked by hand.

Check how many of your Ryviu reviews came from real orders before you choose an app for Google Shopping.

Do you lose your loyalty points when you leave Ryviu?

Yes, you'll need to rebuild your loyalty programme, because I didn't find an import for points balances or VIP tiers on any of these apps. Ryviu awards points for purchases and reviews and redeems them for discounts or free shipping.

Okendo is the closest replacement, with points, VIP tiers and referrals in the same account as your reviews. AG Product Reviews gives points through Joy, Fera through Smile.io or BON and Judge.me through Smile or LoyaltyLion. CWILL sells its loyalty programme as a separate app.

Export your members' points before you cancel, and tell them how their balance will carry over to the new programme.

When does it make sense to stay on Ryviu?

I'd stay on Ryviu if you run a dropshipping store that imports from several marketplaces and you need Q&A on a small budget. None of the alternatives matches its import list or its price for Q&A.

Ryviu imports from AliExpress, Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, Shopee and DHgate, and its Unlimited plan pulls from several sources for the same product. Q&A starts on Basic at $6.99/month, and loyalty with VIP tiers comes included on Unlimited. It also has the Built for Shopify badge, and one merchant in September 2026 says support added stars to their collection pages for their theme.

Paid plans run from $6.99/month to $19.99/month, with a 7-day trial. The free plan covers 50 products with 20 reviews each. See Ryviu on the Shopify App Store.

Before you leave, check which marketplaces your imported reviews came from, and confirm the new app imports from them.

How do you move from Ryviu to another app?

Your reviews and Q&A move across as CSV files, but your loyalty balances, Google feed and email settings don't. None of these apps names Ryviu as an import source, so you'll use each app's CSV or file import.

I'd export these from Ryviu before you change anything:

• Product reviews with their photos, videos and marketplace source links
• Questions and answers
• Featured and pinned reviews
• Loyalty points balances and VIP tiers

Ryviu exports reviews one product at a time, or 20 selected products at a time, on every plan. Its bulk "Export all reviews" option needs Unlimited, so a large store may want to upgrade for one month before the move.

Judge.me imports from other apps and spreadsheets, and it imports Q&A from a CSV. Vitals offers CSV imports of up to 10,000 reviews per file. CWILL reads other apps' export files automatically, AG Product Reviews offers XLSX imports and Fera, Loox and Okendo offer imports too.

Use these steps with any of the apps:

1. Export your reviews and Q&A from Ryviu.
2. Install the new app on its free plan or trial, and set it up on a copy of your theme.
3. Import your reviews, then check a few photos, names and dates by hand.
4. Set up the same request email you have on Ryviu, so you're comparing like with like, then check it on your phone.
5. Upgrade only if it does the job, then publish the theme.
6. Remove Ryviu and any snippets it added to a vintage theme, before your next billing date.

Installing took me 5 to 10 minutes on almost every app, and the import takes longer. Judge.me's reviewers often describe a quick migration. One AG Product Reviews reviewer says imports need both the product handle and ID, and one CWILL reviewer found bulk imports from some platforms on a paid plan.

Keep Ryviu installed until the new widgets are live, because Ryviu's FAQ says reviews disappear from your store once you cancel. Store the CSV files for at least a few months after that.

What changes in unusual situations?

Order spikes, large catalogues, selling in several countries and plan-only features can each change which app suits you.

At unusually high or seasonal order volumes, Ryviu's price doesn't move, because it counts products and reviews. Judge.me, AG Product Reviews and CWILL don't count orders either. Loox and Okendo move up with your orders, and Fera reviewers say widgets disappeared at their request limit until they upgraded.

A large catalogue changes the maths on Ryviu. Advance stops at 1,000 products with 500 reviews each, so a bigger store needs Unlimited. Vitals imports up to 10,000 reviews per file, and CWILL imports up to 500 AliExpress reviews per product.

Selling in several countries or stores narrows the list. One Ryviu merchant found no Swedish widget text. CWILL and Vitals translate reviews automatically, and Judge.me includes translation on Awesome. When you run several stores, Fera syncs reviews between them on Medium at $99/month and Judge.me includes cross-store syndication on Awesome.

Plan-only features are the next thing to check. Ryviu keeps video, Google Shopping and bulk export for Unlimited. CWILL keeps video, Q&A and Google Shopping for Pro, and Okendo keeps Q&A and AI summaries for Growth.

A headless store or a Shopify Plus checkout needs a closer look. Okendo supports headless stores with an API and webhooks. CWILL can show reviews in a Shopify Plus checkout, and Fera runs on Wix, BigCommerce and Squarespace if you sell beyond Shopify.

Which Ryviu alternative would I start with?

I'd start with Vitals, because it includes product reviews and 40+ other apps in the same subscription. Choose Judge.me when you only need reviews and want Google Shopping for $15/month, and Okendo when loyalty matters as much as reviews. Stay on Ryviu if marketplace imports and cheap Q&A are what you use most. Install your 2 finalists, import the same 20 reviews into each on a copy of your theme, then compare what shoppers see and how many changes you had to make.

What do merchants often ask about Ryviu alternatives?

Is there a free alternative to Ryviu?

Yes, AG Product Reviews and Judge.me both have free plans with no published limit on reviews. AG Product Reviews shows no charge on its listing, and Judge.me's free plan includes video and unlimited requests. Okendo's free plan resets at 50 orders a month, CWILL's shows 6 reviews per product and Loox's ends at 500 orders.

How much does Ryviu cost in 2026?

Ryviu has a free plan for 50 products with 20 reviews each, and paid plans at $6.99/month, $9.99/month and $19.99/month. Loyalty costs $15/month extra on Basic and Advance and comes included on Unlimited. Every paid plan has a 7-day trial.

Does Ryviu send reviews to Google Shopping?

Yes, but only on Unlimited at $19.99/month. Every plan adds Google rich snippets for search results. Judge.me sends reviews to Google Shopping at $15/month, and AG Product Reviews offers a free XML export for Merchant Center.

Is Ryviu a good app?

Yes, Ryviu is a good app for dropshipping stores, with 4.8 stars from 513 reviews and the widest marketplace import list I found. An alternative makes more sense when you need weekend support, AI features or a Klaviyo connection.

Can you move your reviews from Ryviu to another app?

Yes, Ryviu exports reviews and Q&A as CSV files, though bulk export needs Unlimited. None of these apps names Ryviu as a source, so you'll use a CSV or file import. Loyalty points, your Google feed and your request settings stay behind.

Do Ryviu alternatives slow down a store?

A single review app won't, but the total can, because many stores run 10 to 15 apps and each one adds to the load. What surprised me about Vitals is that its 40+ apps load from one script, so I could turn any of them on or off without worrying about load time. One CWILL reviewer blamed a large script for a slow store, and Fera reviewers report slow widgets during outages, so test any app on your own store before and after you install it.
