What operators say

  • Loox is by far the best reviewing tool available on Shopify. Getting reviews is as simple as set up & forget it.

    G2 · unavailable

  • I have been using Loox for several years now. Over 4000 reviews later, we are very happy with the transparency and credibility.

    Shopify App Store · 2026

  • We have had a major issue with Loox referral codes adding duplicate items to cart that customers cannot remove.

Our verdict

The data points to a Shopify-DTC visual-first profile: apparel, beauty, home, and gifts brands where photo-and-video proof drives the conversion lift, and where the polish of the widget matters as much as the review collection itself. Shopify App Store 4.8 / 7,322 reviews + 100,000+ merchants per Loox's own listing back the operator-satisfaction signal. Two pricing realities matter more than the marketed Beginner tier. First, the order-volume scaling on Scale is the load-bearing fact: $35 per 300 additional orders beyond the base 300 means high-AOV / low-order-count brands and low-AOV / high-order-count brands pay very differently for the same widget surface. Model both sides before annualising. Video reviews are locked until Scale ($39.99/mo) and AI features (sorting / highlights / translation / replies) are locked until Convert ($49.99/mo) — the marketed Beginner tier is genuinely a starter. Second, Loox is Shopify-exclusive — no WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Wix. If you're multi-platform or planning to be, Judge.me or Yotpo's broader platform support matters. For unlimited-free needs Judge.me wins on price. For brands wanting an integrated retention stack (loyalty + SMS bundled), Yotpo's all-in-one is structurally the better fit even if individual product polish is lower.
