View Loox
Stamped.io
Stamped.io stays relevant because it sits between classic review tooling and richer UGC workflows without becoming too bloated for mid-market stores.

Yotpo
Yotpo is still a serious option when reviews are part of a broader retention stack, but visibility and implementation style can vary more than with lighter tools.
View Yotpo
Okendo
Okendo belongs on the shortlist because many brands use it as a more structured customer content layer, especially where reviews and media need stronger merchandising.
View OkendoHow this ranking was selected
- Use-case fit: each app must solve a distinct review or UGC workflow rather than merely repeating the same feature list.
- Official product evidence: supported features are checked against the current Shopify App Store listing.
- Storefront visibility: Detectify considers whether the implementation commonly exposes stable public widgets, scripts or markup.
- Practical starting point: the ordering favors clear merchant fit over an invented universal score.

Loox is a strong option when visual social proof matters more than text-only reviews. It is especially useful for fashion, beauty, home and lifestyle stores where customer photos help conversion.
Can Detectify identify Shopify review apps?
Yes, when the review app exposes public storefront evidence such as widgets, review markup, app scripts, CSS assets or product page blocks. Backend-only review workflows can remain invisible.
