Everything you need to run your reviews.

It handles four jobs: collecting reviews by asking customers automatically, monitoring what arrives across platforms, helping you reply to it, and displaying the results where customers will see them. Done by hand each of those is possible; done consistently across every customer, every week, it is not.

Review collection and monitoring. Everything else compounds on top of those two. There is no point analysing sentiment or embedding a widget until reviews are arriving steadily. Start by asking every customer, then add the rest as volume builds.

The free plan covers Google reviews for one business, forever, with no card required. Paid plans start at $49/month and add more review sources, AI replies and multiple locations, each with a 14-day trial.

No. Review gating means intercepting unhappy customers before they post publicly, and it breaches both Google’s policy and FTC guidance. ReviewsGauge asks every customer the same way and never hides, filters or suppresses a review.

Yes. Locations are managed from one account with per-location views, role-based access, and a leaderboard comparing sites on rating, response rate and sentiment.

Nothing here is impossible by hand. You can ask every customer, check four platforms daily and write every reply yourself. What breaks is consistency. Manual review programmes work for a fortnight and then lapse during the first busy week, which is exactly when they matter most. Automation is mainly a way of making the asking survive a bad month.

No. Most businesses use collection and monitoring constantly, replies often, and analytics occasionally. The showcase features earn their keep once you have a body of reviews worth showing. Turning everything on at once is the fastest way to use none of it properly.

Review invites can be triggered from Zapier, Make, Pabbly Connect and n8n, from Google Sheets or Google Calendar, or from a Stripe payment, so requests fire off the events already happening in your business. These integrations are in beta; if you depend on a specific one, ask before you commit.
