Shopify Review Apps: Collecting vs Analyzing Reviews

Review apps do two different jobs. Most collect reviews and display them on your store. A smaller group reads the reviews you already have and tells you what customers keep saying. This guide explains the difference and lists options for each job. We make ReviewLens, which is one of the apps below.

What to look for

Decide which job you need done, then compare apps on the points that matter for that job.

Apps to consider

Yotpo collects reviews, photos and videos through automated requests and displays them in carousels and grids. Its free plan covers up to 50 monthly orders, with Starter at $15 a month and Pro at $119. Limitation: paid prices vary with order volume, and the listing does not mention a free trial.

ReviewLens reads the product reviews already in your store, groups them into themes, scores sentiment per theme, builds a ranked "Fix This Week" list with verbatim customer quotes, and spotlights top problem SKUs. Plans are Starter at $19 a month, Growth at $49 and Scale at $99, each with a 14-day free trial. Limitation: it does not collect reviews. It has no request emails and no storefront widgets, so you still need a collection app.
