Review management for service businesses, not online stores
Reviews.io is an ecommerce review platform built for Shopify stores and product sellers. Recensify is review management software for local service businesses. If you run a salon, clinic, restaurant, or auto shop, here is what that difference means.
14 days free. No credit card required. Cancel from your dashboard, anytime.
The short version
Reviews.io is excellent if you sell products on Shopify and want reviews on your product listings with Google Shopping star syndication. It is not built for service businesses. It does not cover Booksy, Treatwell, TripAdvisor, Yelp, Doctify, or any other platform your customers actually use. Recensify covers 60+ service business platforms, starts at $29 per location with no contract, and cancels with one click — no 30-day notice required.

How they compare in practice
Who Reviews.io is built for
Reviews.io is an ecommerce review platform. Its core features are product reviews, Shopify integration, Google Shopping star syndication, and user-generated content (UGC) for product pages. It is built for online stores that want to display customer reviews on product listings and feed them to Google Shopping.
If you run a salon, clinic, restaurant, or auto shop, you do not have product listings, Google Shopping ads, or a Shopify store. The features you are paying for on Reviews.io are the ones you will never use.
Platform coverage for service businesses
Reviews.io covers Google and a set of ecommerce-adjacent review platforms. It does not cover Booksy, Treatwell, Fresha, Planity, TripAdvisor, Yelp, Doctify, Jameda, Healthgrades, Just Eat, Deliveroo, or other platforms that service business customers actually use.
Recensify covers 60+ platforms built specifically for service businesses in the US, UK, EU, and Australia — including every platform listed above.
Cancellation
Reviews.io requires 30 days' notice to cancel a monthly subscription. Recensify cancellation is immediate, from your dashboard, with no notice period and no call required.
