Stamped review 2026: what to know before you buy

Stamped has more than 4,500 reviews on the Shopify App Store, and most of them are positive. It’s been around since 2017, sold for $110 million in 2021, and runs on 75,000-plus stores.

But look past the rating and the reviews split into two groups: people who love that it does everything, and people who wish it did fewer things better. This helps you work out which side you’ll be on.

It’s written for store owners weighing Stamped against other review apps, drawn from real reviews on the Shopify App Store, Capterra, and G2, 2026.

Stamped does more than reviews

Most review apps collect and show reviews. Stamped does that, then keeps going.

It bundles reviews, a loyalty program, referrals, NPS surveys, and Q&A into one platform with shared customer data. The pitch is simple: run your whole retention stack in one app instead of three.

That all-in-one design colors every review. Happy users love the convenience. Frustrated ones feel it’s stretched too wide. That split explains most of what comes next.

What you actually get

Behind the all-in-one pitch is a fairly deep feature set. The main pieces:

• Review collection: In-email and SMS review requests, with photo and video reviews. Customers can reply right from the email, which gets more responses.
• Display widgets: Product page widgets, carousels, and badges, plus Q&A and a main widget that supports around 30 languages.
• Google and channel syndication: As a Certified Google Partner, Stamped pushes reviews to Google Shopping and search rich snippets, plus the Shop app and Instagram galleries.
• Loyalty and referrals: Points, rewards, and a referral program run from the same dashboard, sharing customer data with reviews.
• Surveys and AI: NPS surveys, checkout reviews, and AI sentiment analysis that pulls common themes from across all your reviews.

It’s a lot in one app. Whether that’s a strength or a distraction is exactly what the reviews argue about.

What people like about Stamped

The positive reviews land on a few points.

• Price against the big names: The most common compliment is value. One merchant said they got everything they had on Yotpo, plus more, for about a sixth of the cost.
• Support: Fast, friendly, and happy to help with setup and custom work. Reviewers mention it far more than they do for most apps.
• In-email review forms: Customers leave a review right inside the request email, photos included. Stores say it gets more replies.
• Reliable over time: Stores with thousands of products say it keeps collecting reviews and photos steadily for years.

For a store that wants reviews and loyalty together without paying enterprise prices, those are real wins.

Where it falls short

The critical reviews are just as consistent, and they come back to the same all-in-one design.

• It tries to do too much: The most repeated criticism: lots going on, some features half-finished, and a sense it wants to be everything instead of best at the core job.
• Bugs and a clunky admin: Several reviewers describe a glitchy interface, slow loading, and automation flows that are hard to test without pushing a live order through.
• Customizing is possible, not easy: You can change a lot, but reviewers say it takes work, and deeper edits need HTML on higher plans.
• Cost creeps up: A few say the price rose over time as their store grew, which dents the value angle.

None of these are dealbreakers on their own. Together they describe a tool that’s broad and capable but not always smooth.

A few real reviews

You can hear all of this in the reviews themselves. A few that show the range:

• On value: one merchant who moved off Yotpo said they got the same features and more for roughly a sixth of what they had paid.
• On support: a long-time user praised the team for replying fast and fixing problems, not pointing them back to a developer.
• On the rough edges: a WooCommerce store described a setup that dragged on through bugs and around ten support tickets before it worked.
• On the breadth: a reviewer summed up the common gripe, saying it felt like Stamped wanted to do everything instead of doing the core job best.

Read enough of them and the same picture forms: strong value and help, with snags once you push past the basics.

It runs on more than Shopify

This is a real point in Stamped’s favor. Unlike many review apps that only work on Shopify, Stamped supports Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, and CS-Cart. If you’re not on Shopify, that alone puts it on your shortlist.

The thing to keep in mind: reviews say the experience is best on Shopify. Merchants on WooCommerce and BigCommerce mention longer setups and a few features that exist on Shopify but not on their platform.

One Woo user counted ten support tickets just to get running.

So the multi-platform support is real, it’s just smoother on Shopify. If you’re on another platform, it’s still worth trying, but read the reviews for your platform first.

What Stamped costs

Stamped prices by your monthly order volume, with a free tier to start.

• Lite: free, up to 50 orders a month.
• Basic: around $23 a month, up to 200 orders, adds photo reviews.
• Premium: around $99 a month, up to 1000 orders.
• Business: roughly $199 a month, up to 5,000 orders, adds AI analysis and Google syndication.

Above that, Enterprise pricing needs a sales call. Our Stamped pricing guide breaks down what each tier includes.

How Stamped compares to other review apps

Reviewers usually weigh Stamped against the same handful of tools.

• Against Yotpo: Stamped wins on price, often by a wide margin, and reviewers say it matches most of what they used Yotpo for.
• Against Judge.me: Judge.me is leaner and cheaper for reviews alone. Stamped pulls ahead only if you also want loyalty and referrals in the same app.
• Against Loox: Loox is more polished for visual reviews on Shopify. Stamped is broader and runs on more platforms.

If you only want a review tool, all the extra parts can feel like too much. If you want reviews and loyalty together, it makes more sense.

Who Stamped is and isn’t for

The reviews point to a fairly clear split on who gets the most out of it.

Stamped fits you if:

• You want reviews, loyalty, and referrals in one app instead of three.
• You sell on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, or CS-Cart.
• You’re moving off a pricier tool like Yotpo and want to cut cost.
• You value fast support and can work around the odd bug.

Look elsewhere if:

• You only need reviews and want a tool that does that one job cleanly.
• You’re on a non-Shopify platform and want the most polished experience.
• You want deep design control without touching HTML.
• You’d rather not pay for loyalty features you won’t use.

A simpler option: WiserReview

WiserReview is a review and referral app for ecommerce stores, running on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Wix, and Squarespace.

It covers the full review job, collecting, managing, and displaying, with AI taking out a lot of the manual work, plus referrals in the same place. The main features:

• Collect reviews automatically: Post-purchase emails and SMS go out on their own and gather photo and video reviews, with import from your old tool when you switch.
• Display widgets: Star ratings, review carousels, photo galleries, and badges that you can style to match your store, no code needed.
• Manage and moderate: Approve, reply to, edit, or hide reviews from one dashboard, so your display stays tidy.
• AI review summary: An AI review summary reads all your reviews and writes a short overview at the top of the widget, so shoppers get the gist fast.
• AI help built in: AI drafts replies to reviews and tags them by sentiment and topic, so moderating a busy inbox doesn’t eat your day.
• Google reviews: Pull in and show your Google reviews alongside your store reviews in one place.
• Referrals in the same app: A referral program runs beside your reviews on one dashboard, with no second tool to set up.
• Flat pricing: A free plan to start, then $9 a month, so a busy sales month never turns into a surprise bill.

It doesn’t include loyalty points or NPS surveys, so if you need those, you’ll want a wider tool. But for reviews and referrals done in one clean place, it’s an easy one to run.

Reviews and referrals, on any platform

WiserReview runs clean review and referral programs on five platforms, from a free plan. No bloat.

The verdict

The reviews are trustworthy, and they’re consistent. Stamped is affordable, well supported, and genuinely all-in-one, and the criticism is honest about the cost of that breadth rather than hiding real faults.

Your decision comes down to one thing. If you want reviews, loyalty, and referrals in one place and can live with some rough edges, Stamped does the job.

If you’d rather have a simple review tool that works the same everywhere, those same reviews are a reason to shop around.

For that, our migrate from Stamped guide covers the switch, and the Loox reviews breakdown looks at a more visual-first option.
