The Best Review Plugins for WooCommerce & Shopify (2025 Edition)

Perhaps you’re considering a review app for the first time, or you’re seeking a replacement for Judge.me, now that it will no longer be available for WooCommerce.

Either way, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, you’ll find a collection of the best review plugins for WooCommerce as well as the leading options for Shopify.

Reviews are key to an eCommerce store’s success. Therefore, it’s highly recommended that you do everything possible to collect and display reviews on your site. While platforms like WooCommerce and Shopify have built-in review functionality, they’re limited compared to what’s available from purpose-built review apps.

With around 93% of consumers reading online reviews before making a purchase, and 86% of shoppers avoiding businesses with bad feedback (source), it’s important to collect as many positive reviews as possible.

As Judge.me will end its support for WooCommerce, including the deletion of review data by the end of October 2025, now is the time to choose an alternative and migrate your existing reviews.

By the end of this article, you’ll be able to choose the best review app for your WooCommerce or Shopify store, based on your unique requirements and preferences.

The days when a static product page consisting of a selection of professionally posed, shot, and edited photos alongside expertly crafted copy were optimal are long gone. Those types of product pages are simply no longer converting as well as they used to.

In this guide, we’ll cover how to make your product pages more dynamic so that they connect better with your target audience and ultimately boost your conversion rates. You’ll also find examples of some eCommerce stores that have successfully made their product pages more dynamic.
