Quick answer
Judge.me is the low-cost option: a free plan with unlimited review requests and a flat $15/month paid plan at any order volume, now on Shopify only. Loox focuses on photo and video reviews, Okendo and Yotpo add broader UGC and loyalty options at higher, order-based prices, and Stamped has separate Shopify and direct price lists. At 3,000 orders a month, the apps here range from $15 to $329. Prices were checked on each vendor's own page or Shopify App Store listing on Oct 7, 2026; none of these apps has been tested hands-on, and none is ranked.
Worked example
Monthly cost at two order volumes
The plan each app needs to send review requests on 500 and 3,000 orders a month, at list prices. Taxes and SMS costs are excluded.
| App (plan needed) | 500 orders/month | 3,000 orders/month |
|---|---|---|
| Judge.me | $0 Free or $15 Awesome (flat) | $0 Free or $15 Awesome (flat) |
| Yotpo Reviews | $89 Starter (up to 500 orders) | $329 Pro (Starter stops at 1,000 orders) |
| Loox | $99.99 Convert ($49.99 + one $50 block of 300 orders) | $299.99 Unlimited (Convert would be $49.99 + 9 × $50 = $499.99) |
| Okendo | $119 Growth (up to 1,500 orders) | $299 Power (up to 3,500 orders) |
| Stamped (Shopify plans) | $99 Reviews 1k (up to 1,000 orders) | $199 Reviews 5k (up to 5,000 orders) |
Editorial calculation, Oct 7, 2026. Yotpo prices come from the order-volume slider on its website; its Shopify App Store listing shows lower entry tiers ($15 and $119) that apply to the smallest volumes. Okendo is about 8% less on annual billing.
Context
Google store ratings
Google's Merchant Center help says a store generally needs at least 100 eligible, unique reviews for a store rating, ratings are calculated per country, and a rating of 3.5 or above is required to show a store rating on ads. Review apps differ in whether and how they send reviews to Google, so check this if Google Shopping matters to you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best product review app for Shopify?
It depends on budget and needs. Judge.me is free or $15/month flat, Loox centers on photo and video reviews, and Okendo and Yotpo add broader UGC and loyalty options at order-based prices.
Does Shopify have a free reviews app?
Not any more. Shopify's Product Reviews app is no longer available on the Shopify App Store; a Shopify staff post says it was delisted on Sept 5, 2023. Judge.me's free plan is the common free alternative.
Judge.me or Yotpo?
On price, Judge.me: its paid plan is $15/month at any volume, while Yotpo's Starter was $89 at 500 orders a month on our check. Yotpo supports more ecommerce platforms and offers a separate loyalty product.
Have you tested these apps?
