Complete Analytics Dashboard
It lets you track key performance metrics like engagement and sales conversions through clear, easy-to-read graphs.
It's completely customizable, which means you can gain insight into the details that matter to you the most. For example, you will be able to see the products that have the lowest conversion rate or the top items purchased over a certain period of time.
You can also track every review request campaign, including requests sent, open rate, click rate, submission rate, and performance by channel (email, SMS, and more).

With Judge.me, advanced reporting is only available on the most expensive subscription tiers—and users can only access data collected within the past 18 months. That can make it difficult to see the big picture of your business and compare statistics and analysis.
Review Requests: Email & SMS
Email Review Requests
Fera Product Reviews gives you the essential tools to customize everything that you might need.
Starting from your:
- Sender name
- Subject line
- Email send time
- Content
- CTA button color

Loox offers similar options, plus A/B testing on sender names. If subject line testing is your top priority, Loox may be appealing, but Fera covers everything most brands actually need.
SMS Review Requests
One of the biggest differences between Fera and Loox is how each platform helps you collect reviews. While Loox relies primarily on email, Fera offers an additional option: SMS review requests.
This allows you to reach customers wherever they are.
An SMS campaign can be set up so a text message is sent after the last e-mail. This allows you to reach customers that didn’t engage and leave star ratings and or text reviews with your emails.

The SMS review request feature is currently available only for Shopify stores located in the USA and Canada. Sign up to our waiting list here to be the first to find out when SMS is available in your country and/or marketplace.
