In the dynamic world of eCommerce, where every click can lead to a conversion, the importance of product reviews cannot be overstated.

Reviews are pivotal in building trust, credibility and authenticity for your brand.

But not all review apps are created equal.

Today, we're comparing two well-rated apps in the product review arena: Fera Product Reviews and Ali Reviews - Product Reviews.

Both platforms promise to elevate your customer's experience, but which one truly delivers?

We're peeling back the layers, comparing features, functionalities, and integrations to see how Fera stands tall in this face-off.

Join us as we uncover the strengths that make Fera Product Reviews the ultimate choice for your eCommerce needs.

Get The Features You Need

Importing reviews, sending out automatic review requests & follow up emails, and moderating your reviews are a must for any eCommerce business owner, and now so is being able to collect photo and video reviews.

Ali Reviews allows you to import reviews via spreadsheet, bulk import via Zopi, or import 30 reviews/mo from AliExpress.

You can set up automatic review requests but it is only based on the fulfillment date, so you will have to estimate your delivery time in order to send the email when your customer receives their order.

You also are not able to send automated follow up emails or show more than 1 photo per review.

Fera doesn’t limit the amount of reviews you can import and allows you to import reviews straight from your past reviews app; they also have an AliExpress integration that makes it easy to import those reviews!

When you set up an automatic review request, you can schedule the emails to send out upon delivery.

You are able to add/import up to 100MB of photo and video reviews.

Review Moderation

Last year, Fera introduced their AI Moderation feature.

This feature allows you to reply to reviews and moderate them.

By default positive reviews are moderated immediately, negative reviews are moderated after 14 days, and reviews with photos and videos are moderated after 1 day.

Ali Reviews unfortunately, doesn’t allow you to reply to reviews unless you are on the Essential Plan ($19.99/mo) or higher.

Functionality and User Experience

Customization

Ali Reviews does allow for customization when it comes to the appearance of your emails, customizing your widgets, and removing the Ali Reviews logo; but this is once again only available to businesses who have the Essential plan or higher.

With Fera, you have the ability to customize your review request emails, widgets, and remove our branding, no matter what plan you’re on!

Incentives

Incentives are an amazing way to increase your customer reviews and reward your customers for taking the time to write you a review, so being able to offer them within a product reviews app is important.

In Fera’s incentive section, you are able to easily manage all of your incentives, whether they be loyalty points, discounts, or cash-back (Shopify only).

Ali Reviews only offers discount coupons.
