A good product review app for Shopify must meet the following criteria:

1. Easy to use and insert
   With photo and video reviews, because this increases trust
2. Integration with other Shopify apps should be easy
3. The rating area should look pleasant for the customers so that they like to read or write more ratings
4. A good price-performance ratio

Now let’s take a closer look at some product review apps from the Shopify App Store:

Product Reviews

Product Reviews is an app developed by Shopify and offered for free. The design is quite simple, but layout and colors can be customized. Moreover, with the help of the theme-friendly design, the ratings are automatically adjusted to the appearance of the store. The ratings can also be imported and exported as a CSV file. However, the disadvantage of the app is that reviews are not automatically retrieved.
For smaller online stores that offer a small product range, the app is well suited for the beginning. However, the app does not have a particularly nice design, but it is free.

Stamped.io Reviews

One of the most sought-after apps for product review is Stamped.io. The app offers numerous useful features for its users. For example, a rating for the same product can be displayed on multiple websites. The app automatically queries reviews and color-codes the status of whether a customer has submitted a review or has been reminded by email. The design can also be upgraded visually.
Stamped.io Reviews is offered in four plans, for which you have to pay monthly.

The advantages of the app are as follows:

• The app collects orders from multiple sources: SMS, Email, Facebook Messanger
• Reviews can appear on Google Shopping
• Sensitive words can be prevented by a list
• Good analysis tool with AI support
• Even the free plan offers 24/7 customer support.

The disadvantages are that:

• The number of orders is limited depending on the plan.
• The free plan does not contain photo ratings
• In the free and simpler plans many features are missing

Our conclusion is that the app offers many useful features and is relatively inexpensive due to the different rates, making it interesting for different business sizes.

Let’s move on to the third app: Yotpo

For Shopify experts, the name of the app should be a familiar one, as it is one of the oldest apps for product reviews. The app offers many features and is very well positioned SEO-wise, as it is directly integrated with Google. The app can also be linked to numerous other Shopify apps. Let’s take a closer look at some of the advantages:

1. SEO friendly
2. Q and A Feature
3. Extensive analysis options of the reviews
4. The best reviews can be shared on social media (Facebook and Instagram are partners of Yotpo)
5. Fully customizable for Premium and Enterprise plan
6. Even the free plan already includes many features

The disadvantage is that the app offers a lot, but you have to pay a lot to use the extensive features. The app is therefore more suitable for large companies.
