Best Yotpo alternatives reviewed in 2026

Short answer: Your reason for leaving Yotpo decides the pick. When the order-based price steps are the problem, choose Vitals at $29.99/month, a product review app with one fixed pricing plan, whose price doesn't increase as your order volume grows. When you want Google Seller Rating without paying for Pro, choose REVIEWS.io, which includes it from $19/month. When AI-first support is the reason, choose Judge.me, which has a free plan, a $15/month paid plan and 24/7 human chat on both. When you want Q&A at a low price, choose Ryviu, which adds it from $6.99/month.

Yotpo is a long-running product reviews app, launched in 2011, that sends your reviews well beyond your own store, to Google Seller Ratings, Meta, TikTok Shop and, on Premium, retailers such as Walmart and Target. But its Starter plan climbs through 5 price bands from $15/month to $129/month, and the complaint I read most often is about support that starts with an AI bot and too often stops there.

To find apps that fix those 2 problems, I set up 8 Yotpo alternatives on my own test store. Each review below gives the job the app suits, its November 2026 price and the Yotpo features you'd lose.

Why do merchants look for a Yotpo alternative?

Support is the main reason. Most of the recent complaints I read describe an AI chat that opens a ticket and then nobody replies.

Every self-serve plan routes support through a bot first. In recent reviews from February to July 2026, merchants say the AI chat promised a follow-up within hours and then went quiet for days, while a bug kept the app unusable. Yotpo's pricing table keeps human live chat for Premium, its custom-quoted plan. Judge.me offers 24/7 human chat on its free plan, and Vitals includes 24/7 live chat in its one plan.

The price jumps before the store does. One merchant wrote in July 2026 that a small store faces a large step up to $129/month, and that resending a review email needed a paid plan. Another said in August 2026 that the Verified Buyer badge on imported reviews moved from Pro to Premium. Vitals fixes the price steps with one fixed plan that doesn't increase with order volume, and Judge.me stays at $15/month.

Reviews stop arriving or showing up. One store saw its reviews fall from several hundred a month to 7, with thousands of requests sent, in June 2026. Another found that not all of its reviews appeared on the site in April 2026, and Yotpo replied to both. Moving won't guarantee fewer bugs, because every app here has bug reports of its own.

Leaving takes effort too. In January and February 2026, merchants said the export was hard to find and that test exports came back empty. Yotpo replied that the export sits in the Moderation Dashboard and that new reviews take time to appear in it.

These come from 212 of its 4,628 reviews, so most merchants don't report them.

Which Yotpo alternatives made my shortlist?

I selected apps that do the same job as Yotpo, with a rating of 4.7 or higher and at least one new merchant review in the last 12 months.Here are the 8 that made my shortlist:

1. Vitals: product reviews in one fixed plan with 40+ apps, at any order count
2. REVIEWS.io: Google Seller Ratings from $19/month
3. Loox: AI summaries, highlights and replies on its first paid plan
4. Fera: a direct Yotpo import and a 60-day trial
5. Stamped: a team that moves your reviews for you at no charge
6. Judge.me: human support and verified Yotpo imports on a flat price
7. Okendo: reviews and loyalty in the same app
8. Ryviu: Q&A and marketplace imports at the lowest prices here

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

Prices as of November 2026. Developers update them often, so check each listing before you decide.

To keep Google Seller Rating at a lower price, compare REVIEWS.io and Stamped first.

How did I review these Yotpo alternatives?

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

I checked these details in each app:

• Review collection: how it asks for reviews, such as email, SMS, QR codes or a link
• Review types: whether it collects product reviews, store reviews, photos, videos and questions
• Google: whether it offers rich snippets, Google Shopping stars and Google Seller Rating, and on which plan
• AI features: which jobs each app hands to AI, from summaries to moderation
• Integrations: which email, help desk and loyalty tools it works with
• Setup: how many minutes passed before each app worked on my store
• Design: whether each widget fitted my theme without code
• Speed: what a reviews app adds to a store that already runs many other apps
• Pricing: what each plan counts, where the price steps up and what each step adds
• Reviews: what the newest and lowest-rated App Store reviews say, especially about support
• Moving: which apps import a Yotpo export, and what stays behind

I put Vitals first because it includes 40+ other apps, and the order of the other 7 isn't a ranking.

AfterShip Product Reviews didn't make the list, because I found only one written review of it from 2026.

Speed scores aren't part of this, because they depend on your theme and the other apps you run. Your own store is the better test, and 7 of these apps have a free plan or trial.

What did I find when I compared them with Yotpo?

These alternatives fall into 3 groups: apps that only offer reviews (Loox, Fera, Judge.me), reviews apps with loyalty, surveys or NPS (REVIEWS.io, Stamped, Okendo, Ryviu) 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 a separate app I'd otherwise pay for.

I found 5 main differences from Yotpo.No two apps match Yotpo on all 5, so pick the ones you need before you look at prices:

• Price steps: Yotpo's Starter moves through 5 order bands, and Pro starts at $119/month. Vitals has one fixed plan that doesn't increase with order volume, Judge.me stays at $15/month and Ryviu charges by products and reviews. Fera reaches 2,000 orders on $29/month, while Okendo, Stamped and Loox step up by orders.
• Google Seller Rating: Yotpo starts it on Pro. REVIEWS.io includes it on Launch at $19/month, and Stamped lists it in its help centre. I didn't find it on Vitals, Loox, Fera, Judge.me, Okendo or Ryviu.
• Q&A: Yotpo starts Community Q&A on Pro. Ryviu adds it at $6.99/month, Fera at $9/month and Judge.me at $15/month, and Stamped includes it. Okendo starts it on Growth and REVIEWS.io on Launch Plus. I didn't find Q&A on Vitals or Loox.
• Yotpo imports: Vitals, Fera, Judge.me and Okendo all name Yotpo as an import source. REVIEWS.io imports it on its direct plans, and Stamped's team moves it for you. I didn't find Yotpo named on Loox or Ryviu.
• Support: Yotpo answers with AI chat on Free, Starter and Pro. Judge.me has 24/7 human chat on every plan and Vitals includes 24/7 live chat. Recent Stamped and REVIEWS.io reviewers name the agents who helped them, and Ryviu confirms its team doesn't work weekends.

The apps also differ in how they work:

• Reports: Yotpo has review and email dashboards on every plan, reporting templates on Pro and Reviews Atlas, a benchmark against 15,000 brands, on Premium. Judge.me compares each stage of review collection, Stamped analyses topics and sentiment and Okendo keeps advanced reporting for Power.
• AI features: Yotpo puts an AI summary and Smart Sorting on Pro, and keeps highlights, Smart Filters and Smart Prompts for Premium. Loox has the widest set on its first paid plan, Okendo includes AI replies on every plan and Fera moderates reviews with AI. Vitals has an AI review summary, and with Vitals MCP, you can do everything in Vitals with Claude or ChatGPT. I didn't find any AI features in Ryviu.
• Setup: almost every app was running within 5 to 10 minutes, so I wouldn't choose on setup time.
• Design: on my test store, almost every app looked responsive, user friendly and customisable. Stamped's docs ask you to add its script to theme.liquid by hand, and REVIEWS.io's app blocks offer basic styling unless you install by code.
• Speed: a reviews app on its own won't slow your pages. The load comes from the total, because a store also needs apps for bundles, discounts and gifts, and many stores have 10 to 15 of them, so the gain comes from running fewer.

What are the best Yotpo alternatives?

Vitals is my top pick for merchants leaving Yotpo over its price steps, because its one plan stays at $29.99/month at any order count. REVIEWS.io comes next for stores that want Google Seller Rating without Yotpo Pro. The other 6 suit AI on a first paid plan, a long free trial, a managed move, human support, loyalty in one app and Q&A on a small budget.

1. Vitals: Best for dropping Yotpo's order bands and your other app bills together

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 upsells, bundles, email pop-ups or a wishlist.

Why I like this app:

I liked that Vitals has no higher tier for its product reviews. Video reviews and the AI summary are part of the one plan, so you won't have to upgrade for them. Vitals also offers 40+ other apps, such as upsells, bundles, pop-ups and a wishlist, so you wouldn't need a separate app for each. I could also do everything in Vitals from Claude or ChatGPT through Vitals MCP.

Compared with Yotpo:

Vitals includes video reviews and an AI summary in one fixed plan at $29.99/month that doesn't increase with your order volume, where Yotpo needs Pro at $119/month for its AI summary. You'd give up Yotpo's retail syndication to Walmart and Target, along with its Google Seller Rating. I also didn't find Q&A.

Features:

• Request emails that go out after purchase, fulfilment or delivery
• A nudge, then a second one, for buyers who still haven't reviewed
• Photos and videos in reviews
• A discount sent by email once a review is in
• CSV imports from Yotpo, Judge.me, Loox and Stamped
• Amazon and AliExpress imports, filtered by rating and content
• Star ratings below product titles and on collection cards
• A reviews carousel, a store-wide rating badge and a Happy Customers page
• A short AI summary of reviews, with keywords
• Your best 5-star reviews placed next to the buy button
• Approval before publishing, or auto-publish with a banned words list
• Auto-translation into your storefront language
• A feed URL for Google Merchant Center once you reach 50 eligible reviews
• Upsells, bundles, a wishlist and the rest of its 40+ apps on the same bill

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 store on it for over 6 years praises the support, and an Italian store likes having many simple apps that work. One reviewer said in February 2026 that 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 store that wants its Yotpo reviews on one fixed bill and plans to remove other apps as well.

I wouldn't choose it if: Google Seller Rating brings you clicks from ads. REVIEWS.io includes it on Launch at $19/month.

See Vitals on the Shopify App Store

2. REVIEWS.io: Best for Google Seller Ratings on a small plan

REVIEWS.io is a reviews platform that collects a product review and a review of your store from the same invite. It makes more sense when your store rating in Google ads matters to you.

Why I like this app:

Google Seller Ratings on Launch, at $19/month, is the main reason I'd look at it, because Yotpo starts them at $119/month. Launch Plus then adds an AI summary, Expert Answers Q&A, surveys and NPS at $45/month. One recent reviewer says support explained SKU, MPN and GTIN matching and got their stars into Google Shopping.

Compared with Yotpo:

REVIEWS.io charges for the requests you send, so a busy month doesn't push you into a higher band the way Yotpo's order count does. You'd give up managing reviews inside Shopify admin, because REVIEWS.io works from its own web dashboard. Every email or SMS request counts as an invite, and Launch includes 50 a month.

Features:

• A product review and a store review from a single invite
• Email and SMS requests sent automatically
• Photo and video reviews
• More than 15 widgets, plus a collector page you can brand
• Shop App syndication on the free plan
• Seller Ratings and rich snippets from Launch
• Review Booster for customers who bought before you installed, on Launch
• Attributes and product grouping on Launch Plus
• Post-purchase surveys and NPS from Launch Plus
• Expert Answers Q&A and an AI Review Summary from Launch Plus
• Works with 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

Higher plans bill outside Shopify, starting with Essentials at $29/month for 300 invites.

Reviews: REVIEWS.io has 4.7 stars from 779 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A coffee roaster says support moved nearly 400 reviews through a CSV and product ID problem. Another reviewer found they couldn't send requests from their own domain on the $45/month plan.

Best for: A store that runs Google ads and wants a store rating beside them without paying for Yotpo Pro.

I wouldn't choose it if: You want to import your Yotpo reviews yourself on a Shopify plan. Its self-serve Yotpo import needs a direct plan, while Judge.me imports Yotpo on its free plan.

See REVIEWS.io on the Shopify App Store

3. Loox: Best for AI review tools without a Premium contract

Loox is a visual reviews app that puts customer photos and videos first. I'd choose it when your products sell on how they look and you want AI tools without talking to sales.

Why I like this app:

In my test, Convert at $49.99/month brought AI summaries, highlights, smart sorting, translations and replies together, a set Yotpo spreads across Pro and Premium. It also adds referrals after purchase and on the site, and Loox Studio turns reviews into social posts.

Compared with Yotpo:

Loox includes review highlights and AI sorting on its first paid plan, where Yotpo keeps highlights for its custom-quoted Premium plan. You'd give up Q&A and Google Seller Rating, which I didn't find on Loox. Convert adds $50 for every 300 orders past the first 300.

Features:

• Review requests and reminders by email
• QR codes and discounts for photo reviews
• More than 17 widgets, from snippets to carousels
• Google rich snippets and schema
• Shop App syndication on the free plan
• Video reviews on Convert
• AI Smart Sorting, Highlights, Summaries and Review Stories on Convert
• On Convert, AI translates reviews and drafts your replies
• Post-purchase and on-site referral rewards from Convert
• On Convert, syncing to Google Shopping, Meta and TikTok Shop
• Klaviyo, Omnisend and LoyaltyLion

Pricing: Loox charges by monthly orders:

• Free: up to 500 orders in total
• Convert: $49.99/month for 300 orders, plus $50 for each extra 300
• Unlimited: $299.99/month
• Trial: 14 days

The free plan doesn't reset, so you'll need Convert once you pass 500 orders.

Reviews: Loox has 4.9 stars from 10,044 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A UK store 4 days in says no other app it installed was easier. Recent reviewers also say it becomes too expensive as order numbers grow.

Best for: A store whose shoppers decide from customer photos and videos.

I wouldn't choose it if: Your order count rises quickly. Judge.me's paid plan stays at $15/month whatever your volume.

See Loox on the Shopify App Store

4. Fera: Best for testing a direct Yotpo import over 2 months

Fera is a reviews app for product and store reviews, with Q&A and imports from many platforms. It makes more sense when you want a long trial before you commit.

Why I like this app:

The import list stood out to me, because Fera names Yotpo alongside Judge.me, Loox, Stamped, Etsy, Google and Amazon. Every plan comes with a 60-day trial, the longest I found here. Q&A starts on Startup at $9/month, and Ferify approves or declines reviews with AI after a delay you set.

Compared with Yotpo:

Fera includes Q&A from $9/month and reaches 2,000 orders at $29/month, where Yotpo starts Q&A on Pro at $119/month. You'd give up a free plan and Google Seller Rating. Each plan also caps review requests, at 100 a month on Startup.

Features:

• Requests that can wait for delivery before they send
• Store reviews and a Fera-hosted review page
• A review prompt for shoppers who come back to the store
• Imports from Yotpo, Judge.me, Loox, Stamped, Etsy, Google, Amazon and AliExpress
• Questions about products and the store in one Q&A widget
• Carousels, media galleries, a rating banner and a floating badge
• Discounts, cashback or Smile.io and BON points as review rewards
• AI moderation and AI replies
• Star ratings in Google Search and Google Shopping
• SMS review requests in beta, US and Canada only, at $5 for each review collected
• Multi-store sync on Medium
• Klaviyo, Smile.io, Gorgias and Omnisend

Pricing: Fera charges by monthly orders and review requests:

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

The trial asks for a card and can't restart once you cancel.

Reviews: Fera has 4.8 stars from 2,021 reviews on the Shopify App Store. After a theme change in October 2026, one reviewer says support had their widgets working again quickly. Others report that widgets disappeared from the store when they hit a request limit, until they upgraded.

Best for: A store that sells on several platforms and wants to import reviews from all of them into one app.

I wouldn't choose it if: You send more requests than your plan allows in a sale month. Judge.me doesn't limit requests on any plan.

See Fera on the Shopify App Store

5. Stamped: Best for handing the move to a migration team

Stamped is a reviews, Q&A and loyalty app whose team migrates your reviews from another app for free. Choose it when you'd rather not handle the Yotpo export yourself.

Why I like this app:

The free migration is why I'd shortlist Stamped, since an export from Yotpo is where some merchants get stuck. I also found Community Q&A, which sends shoppers' questions to past buyers, and Checkout Reviews on the thank you page. Its help centre lists Google Seller Ratings, Bing Shopping and syndication between stores. A long-term reviewer says the team checks code after theme updates.

Compared with Yotpo:

Stamped's plans list the same features at every order count, and its help centre offers Community Q&A without naming a plan, where Yotpo starts Q&A on Pro. You'd give up Yotpo's AI summary and Smart Sorting, because Stamped's AI analyses topics and sentiment instead. Stamped has no free plan or trial.

Features:

• Automatic requests with a review form inside the email
• Requests to past orders
• Photo and video reviews
• Discount codes as a thank you for reviews
• Community Q&A
• A Checkout Reviews question on the thank you page
• NPS surveys
• StampedIQ topic and sentiment analysis
• Seller Ratings, Google Shopping and Microsoft Bing Shopping
• Syndication between stores and to Meta, the Shop App and Bazaarvoice
• Free review migration
• Connects to Klaviyo, Gorgias, Attentive and Shopify Flow

Pricing: Stamped charges by monthly orders:

• Reviews: $23/month, up to 200 orders
• Reviews (1k): $99/month, up to 1,000 orders
• Reviews (5k): $199/month, up to 5,000 orders
• Reviews (20K): $399/month, up to 20,000 orders

Loyalty is a separate plan in the same app.

Reviews: Stamped has 4.7 stars from 3,746 reviews on the Shopify App Store. A store in Thailand says the team helped share reviews across its stores and checked the results. Another reviewer left after 4 years when review requests stopped sending for months.

Best for: A store with years of Yotpo reviews and Q&A that wants a team to carry out the move.

I wouldn't choose it if: You want to download a full export whenever you like, because a full export goes through support. Judge.me exports CSV files on its free plan.

See Stamped on the Shopify App Store

6. Judge.me: Best for reaching a person on a flat price

Judge.me is a reviews app whose free plan has no cap on reviews, photos, videos or requests. I'd choose it when Yotpo's AI-first support is the reason you're leaving.

Why I like this app:

I found 24/7 human chat and email on every plan, including the free one. Reviews you import from Yotpo can be verified automatically, which matters because one Yotpo reviewer says that badge moved to Premium. Awesome adds Q&A, reminders, coupons, SMS and an AI summary at $15/month, and Judge.me says that's the most you'll ever pay.

Compared with Yotpo:

Judge.me keeps its full feature set at $15/month at any order count, where Yotpo's Starter alone reaches $129/month. You'd give up Google Shopping stars on imported reviews, because Judge.me's feed excludes most imports and needs 50 eligible reviews. Recent reviewers say some settings are hard to find without asking support.

Features:

• Unlimited product and store reviews
• Unlimited photo and video reviews
• QR codes, and requests that wait for fulfilment or delivery
• Imports from Yotpo, Loox, Amazon, AliExpress and Etsy
• Automatic verification of reviews imported from Yotpo
• Star badges, carousels, a trust badge and the main review widget
• Google rich snippets
• SMS requests, reminders and review coupons from Awesome
• A Q&A widget and Happy Customers page from Awesome
• AI summaries, AI replies and AI auto-publishing from Awesome
• Syncs to Google Shopping, TikTok Shop and Meta from Awesome
• More than 130 integrations from Awesome, Klaviyo and Gorgias among them

Pricing: Judge.me charges a flat fee:

• Free: no limit on reviews, requests or orders
• Awesome: $15/month
• Trial: 15 days

Reviews: Judge.me has 5.0 stars from 48,747 reviews on the Shopify App Store. One recent reviewer on the free plan got a star rating fixed within 15 minutes. Others complain that they have to go through AI chat before they reach a person.

Best for: A store that wants every review feature at one low price and a person to answer when something breaks.

I wouldn't choose it if: Your Google Shopping stars rest on imported Yotpo reviews. Stay on Yotpo until you've collected 50 new eligible reviews in the new app.

See Judge.me on the Shopify App Store

7. Okendo: Best for running reviews and loyalty from one account

Okendo is a reviews platform that sells loyalty, referrals, quizzes and surveys as connected apps in the same account. It makes more sense when you pay for Yotpo's reviews and Yotpo Loyalty as 2 separate products.

Why I like this app:

Okendo's importer detected the Yotpo format for me without a template. AI replies come on every plan, and the review form can ask shoppers to rate specific qualities of a product. I liked getting loyalty, quizzes and surveys in the same app, more than the apps that only offer reviews. A recent reviewer says their reviews, loyalty and referrals have all grown since the summer.

Compared with Yotpo:

Okendo's Growth plan reaches 1,500 orders at $119/month, where Yotpo's Pro costs $269/month between 600 and 1,999 orders. You'd give up Google Seller Rating, which I didn't find on Okendo's plans. Q&A and AI summaries wait for Growth at $119/month.

Features:

• A smart review form sent in automatic request emails
• Ratings for product attributes, plus rewards for reviews
• A reviews widget and tab, star ratings, a badge and a carousel
• Sentiment analysis and AI-written replies on all plans
• AI summaries with keywords from Growth
• A Q&A widget on Growth
• TikTok Shop, Meta and Google syndication from Growth
• Advanced reporting and review campaigns on Power
• Loyalty, referrals, quizzes and surveys as add-on apps in one account
• Imports that detect Yotpo, Judge.me, Stamped and Loox files
• Headless support and an API
• Works with Klaviyo, Postscript, Gorgias and Shopify Flow

Pricing: Okendo charges by monthly orders:

• Free: 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 prices.

Reviews: Okendo has 4.8 stars from 1,447 reviews on the Shopify App Store. Recent reviewers name agents who helped quickly and a person who led their onboarding. Another reviewer on a lower plan says support sent docs and webinars instead of one-on-one help with Klaviyo.

Best for: A growing brand that wants reviews, a points programme and quizzes from one supplier.

I wouldn't choose it if: You need Q&A below 200 orders. Ryviu includes it from $6.99/month.

See Okendo on the Shopify App Store

8. Ryviu: Best for Q&A and marketplace imports on a small budget

Ryviu is a reviews app with Q&A, marketplace imports and an optional loyalty programme. It suits a store, often a dropshipping one, that wants a low price that doesn't follow its order count.

Why I like this app:

The price ladder is what I'd point to, from $6.99/month to $19.99/month, with Q&A from the first paid plan. Ryviu imports from AliExpress, Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, Shopee and DHgate, more marketplaces than any other app here. A points and VIP programme costs $15/month more, or comes included on Unlimited. One recent reviewer says support added stars to the collection pages of their theme.

Compared with Yotpo:

Ryviu limits products and reviews rather than orders, so a sale month doesn't change the price. You'd give up Yotpo's Google Shopping Ads on Starter, because Ryviu keeps its Google Shopping feed for Unlimited. I didn't find any AI features or a Klaviyo integration.

Features:

• Automatic review requests after purchase, fulfilment or delivery
• Photo reviews on every plan and video reviews on Unlimited
• Imports from AliExpress, Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, Shopee and DHgate
• CSV import from Basic
• A Q&A widget, with CSV import and export
• Star ratings on product pages and collection grids
• Carousel, masonry, badge, popup and featured reviews page
• Rich snippet stars in Google on all plans
• An XML feed for Google Shopping, on Unlimited only
• Points, VIP tiers and rewards as an add-on
• Works with PageFly, GemPages, EComposer and Shopify Flow

Pricing: Ryviu charges by products and reviews:

• Free: 50 products, with 20 reviews each
• Basic: $6.99/month, 400 products with 200 reviews each
• Advance: $9.99/month, 1,000 products with 500 reviews each
• Unlimited: $19.99/month, no limits
• Trial: 7 days

A bulk export of all your reviews needs Unlimited.

Reviews: Ryviu has 4.8 stars from 513 reviews on the Shopify App Store. Reviewers praise hands-on help with layouts and placements. Others say replies can take days, and Ryviu confirms its team doesn't work weekends.

Best for: A dropshipping or marketplace-led store that wants imports, Q&A and loyalty for under $20/month.

I wouldn't choose it if: Your email flows rely on review data in Klaviyo. REVIEWS.io includes Klaviyo on its free plan.

See Ryviu on the Shopify App Store

How do you choose between Yotpo and these alternatives?

Begin with what's making you leave Yotpo, then make sure the new app fixes it at a price that works for you. I'd run 5 checks before you install anything.

The first check is the problem behind the move. When support drove you away, send a question during the trial and see whether a person answers. When the price did, work out the cost at your busiest month, not your average one, because Yotpo, Okendo, Stamped and Loox all step up by orders.

Next, list the Yotpo features you use. Google Seller Rating, Q&A and retail syndication are the ones that don't appear everywhere. REVIEWS.io and Stamped offer Seller Ratings and most of these apps offer Q&A. REVIEWS.io and Okendo mention Walmart, but I didn't find Target, Macy's or Bloomingdale's on any of them.

Your theme comes third. Nearly all of them were responsive, user friendly and easy to customise on my test store. With Vitals and REVIEWS.io, I could also describe what I wanted to an AI tool and it built the result for my store. Check Stamped's script step and REVIEWS.io's styling limits, then look at each widget on your phone.

Then look at your other apps. Yotpo adds Klaviyo and Gorgias on Pro. Judge.me, Okendo, REVIEWS.io, Stamped and Fera all list Klaviyo, while Ryviu doesn't. When you also run Yotpo Loyalty, remember that it's a separate app, and Okendo, Stamped and Ryviu all include loyalty in the same app as reviews.

Support is the last check. Recent reviewers often name the agents who helped them on REVIEWS.io, Stamped and Okendo, and Ryviu doesn't answer at weekends. When I hit setup problems, a few customer success teams sorted them within minutes, and others took hours to answer. Time your first answer during the trial.

Choose Vitals if you want one fixed plan that doesn't increase with your order volume and you'd use its other apps. Choose REVIEWS.io if Google Seller Rating matters most, and Judge.me if you want a person on chat. Choose Okendo for loyalty in one account, and Ryviu for Q&A at the lowest price. Stay on Yotpo if you sell through large retailers or need its Premium AI.

Will a Yotpo alternative cost you less?

Above 100 orders a month, most of them will. Below that, Yotpo's $15/month Starter is cheap, and only Ryviu, Fera and the free plans cost less.

Yotpo sets its price by monthly orders, in 5 Starter bands and 6 named Pro bands, and Starter stops at 999 orders. Judge.me ignores order counts, Ryviu counts products and reviews and REVIEWS.io counts the invites you send. Fera, Okendo, Stamped and Loox count orders as well, but their steps fall in different places.

Say your store has 450 orders a month. Yotpo's Starter costs $89/month at that volume, and Pro, the plan with Seller Rating and Q&A, costs $169/month.These alternatives cost:

• Ryviu: $6.99/month to $19.99/month, depending on your catalogue
• Judge.me: $15/month
• Fera: $29/month on Small
• REVIEWS.io: $45/month on Launch Plus, with 500 invites
• Stamped: $99/month on Reviews (1k)
• Loox: $99.99/month on Convert
• Okendo: $119/month on Growth

REVIEWS.io's Launch Plus includes Seller Ratings, Q&A and an AI summary, the same 3 things that push you to Yotpo Pro. Vitals charges $29.99/month on one fixed plan that doesn't increase with order volume.

Over 2 years at 450 orders, Yotpo's Starter costs $2,136 on monthly billing. At the lowest band, annual billing brings Starter to $288 and Pro to $2,136 over 2 years, and I didn't find annual prices for the higher bands. Ryviu's Basic plan costs about $168 over the same 2 years.

Before you compare prices, check your order count in your busiest month of last year, because that's the band you'll pay for.

Will you keep your Google Seller Rating after leaving Yotpo?

Not straight away, because the rating comes from reviews that Yotpo sends to Google. You'll need a new app that offers Seller Ratings, and enough fresh reviews to qualify again.

Google says most merchants get a store rating after 100 or more eligible reviews from the last 24 months, according to its Google Ads help page. REVIEWS.io offers Seller Ratings from Launch at $19/month, and Stamped lists them in its help centre. I didn't find Seller Ratings on Vitals, Loox, Fera, Judge.me, Okendo or Ryviu.

Imported reviews may not help much. REVIEWS.io shows imports as third-party reviews unless their order IDs match, and Judge.me's Google Shopping feed excludes most imports. Ask the new app which of your Yotpo reviews will count, and keep Yotpo running until the new rating appears in your ads.

Can you take your Yotpo Q&A with you?

No, not through the export. Yotpo's review export doesn't include Q&A, so the questions and answers on your product pages stay behind.

Ryviu and Judge.me both import Q&A from a CSV file, so you can copy your most useful answers into a spreadsheet and bring them across. Stamped's team handles migrations, so ask it whether it can move your Q&A too. Vitals and Loox don't have Q&A, which matters when shoppers rely on it for sizing or ingredients.

Count the questions on your 10 best-selling products before you choose, and copy those first.

When does it make sense to stay on Yotpo?

I'd stay on Yotpo if you sell through large retailers or you're on Premium and use its AI tools. None of these alternatives matches its retail syndication.

Premium adds syndication to Walmart, Target, Macy's, Bloomingdale's and the Bazaarvoice and PowerReviews networks as a paid add-on. It also includes Smart Prompts, which suggest topics on the review form, Smart Filters and Reviews Atlas. A single request can collect a site review after a product review, which helps you build a Seller Rating faster. Yotpo also runs on BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce and Salesforce Commerce Cloud, which helps a brand on more than one platform.

The free plan resets at 50 orders a month, Starter starts at $15/month and Pro at $119/month. See Yotpo on the Shopify App Store.

Before you leave, list the Yotpo features you used last month, and check that your new app includes each one on the plan you'd buy.

How do you move from Yotpo to another app?

Your reviews and their photos move across easily, but your Q&A, Seller Rating and retail syndication don't. Yotpo exports product and site reviews as a CSV from Manage, then Reviews, on every plan, and emails the file within about an hour.

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

• Product and site reviews, with links to their photos and videos
• Q&A, copied by hand, because the export leaves it out
• Custom questions and attributes
• Review coupon settings and request email templates
• Your Google Seller Rating and Shopping feed settings
• Visual UGC galleries and any retail syndication mappings

Vitals, Fera, Judge.me and Okendo all name Yotpo as an import source, and Judge.me can verify those reviews automatically. REVIEWS.io imports Yotpo files on its direct plans, within your first 90 days. Stamped's team moves your reviews for free. Loox and Ryviu import from CSV files, but I didn't find Yotpo named.

These steps work with any of the apps:

1. Export your reviews from Yotpo, and wait 24 hours after your newest review, because the export can miss the last day.
2. Install the new app on its free plan or trial, and set it up on a duplicate of your live theme.
3. Import your reviews, then compare 10 of them with Yotpo by hand, including photos and dates.
4. Set up the same request email you have on Yotpo, so you're comparing like with like, then check it on your phone.
5. Upgrade only once it does the job, then publish the theme.
6. Turn off Yotpo's emails, uninstall it and deactivate your Yotpo account, before your next billing date. Remove its code from theme.liquid on a vintage theme.

Installing takes 5 to 10 minutes on almost every app. Checking the import takes longer. Yotpo's export lists a review twice when it's both a product and a site review, so remove the duplicates before you import. On the other side, recent REVIEWS.io and Stamped reviewers describe support teams that moved hundreds of reviews for them.

Keep your Yotpo export for at least 3 months, and watch new reviews arrive in the new app for a full month before you rely on it.

What changes in unusual situations?

Very high order volumes, several stores or platforms, plan-only features and headless builds can all change the answer.

At very high or seasonal volumes, check the band above your busiest month. Yotpo's Pro reaches $379/month at up to 5,999 orders and moves to a custom price above that. Judge.me doesn't count orders, Fera's Large plan reaches 100,000 orders at $299/month and Stamped reaches 20,000 orders at $399/month. Loox's Unlimited costs $299.99/month.

Several stores or platforms narrow the list. Yotpo keeps multi-store for Premium. Fera syncs reviews between stores on Medium, Judge.me offers it on Awesome and Stamped lists syndication between stores. For a brand that also sells on BigCommerce or Magento, Fera and REVIEWS.io both run there too.

Plan gates matter more than the headline price. Okendo keeps Q&A and AI summaries for Growth, REVIEWS.io keeps them for Launch Plus and Ryviu keeps video and its Google Shopping feed for Unlimited. On Yotpo, Seller Rating and Q&A start on Pro, and multi-store and human live chat start on Premium.

A headless store has fewer options. Yotpo works through its API, Okendo supports headless builds and REVIEWS.io needs its Plus plan for Hydrogen. With a large history, check upload limits: Vitals imports up to 10,000 reviews per file, and one Stamped reviewer hit a cap of 5,000 per upload.

Which Yotpo alternative would I start with?

I'd start with Vitals, because its one plan stays at $29.99/month as your orders grow, and it replaces more apps than your Yotpo bill. Choose REVIEWS.io when Google Seller Rating drives your ad clicks, and Judge.me when you want a person on chat at $15/month. Stay on Yotpo if you sell through Target, Macy's or Bloomingdale's, or you use its Premium AI. Install your 2 finalists, import the same Yotpo export into both on a copy of your theme, then compare what shoppers see and how many reviews came across intact.

What do merchants often ask about Yotpo alternatives?

Is there a free alternative to Yotpo?

Yes, Judge.me's free plan is the strongest, with unlimited reviews and requests and no order limit. Okendo's free plan resets at 50 orders a month and REVIEWS.io's at 25 invites a month. Ryviu's free plan stops at 50 products with 20 reviews each, and Loox's ends for good at 500 total orders.

How much does Yotpo cost in 2026?

Yotpo has a free plan up to 50 orders a month, then Starter from $15/month and Pro from $119/month. Starter rises through 5 bands to $129/month at 999 orders, and Pro reaches $379/month at 5,999 orders. Premium and Enterprise have custom prices, and I didn't find a free trial.

Is Yotpo a good app?

Yes, Yotpo is a good app for established brands, with 4.8 stars from 4,628 reviews and the widest syndication I found, from Google Seller Rating to Walmart and Target. An alternative makes more sense when you're on Starter or Pro, because human chat and the deeper AI tools start on Premium.

Does Yotpo have Q&A?

Yes, Yotpo includes Community Q&A from Pro at $119/month. Ryviu offers Q&A from $6.99/month, Fera from $9/month and Judge.me from $15/month, and Stamped includes it on every plan.

Can you move your reviews from Yotpo to another app?

Yes, Yotpo exports reviews as a CSV on every plan, and Vitals, Fera, Judge.me and Okendo all import it. Stamped's team handles the move at no charge. Your Q&A, Seller Rating and retail syndication stay behind.

Do Yotpo alternatives slow down a store?

A single reviews app won't, but every extra app adds load, and many stores run 10 to 15 of them. Vitals was the surprise here. Its 40+ apps share one script, so turning one on never made me worry about load time. Merchants have blamed Stamped's rating widgets and Fera's outages for slow or missing stars, so test any app on your own store before and after you install it.
