SocialProof vs Judge.me

Judge.me is an excellent product review app for Shopify merchants. SocialProof is built for service businesses and brands that want to collect testimonials about their company — not individual product SKUs. Here's the honest breakdown.

What Judge.me does well

• Product-level reviews tightly integrated with Shopify product pages
• Automatic review request emails after order fulfillment
• Photo and video reviews for e-commerce products
• Shopify star ratings in Google Shopping results
• Review import from other Shopify review apps
• Affordable pricing for high-volume Shopify stores

Where Judge.me falls short for service businesses

• Shopify-only: Judge.me requires Shopify. If you're on WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, or a custom site, it doesn't apply.
• Product-centric data model: Reviews are attached to product SKUs. There's no way to collect testimonials about your overall service, team, or experience.
• No service business workflows: No intake forms, no "about us" or service page testimonial widgets, no review sequences for repeat clients.
• Not built for personal services: A salon, coach, or consultant doesn't have "products" to review — Judge.me's model doesn't fit.

What SocialProof does differently

• Works on any website — Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, custom HTML, or anything with an embed code.
• Service & experience testimonials — collect feedback about your business, your team, your process, not just individual products.
• Flexible collection — shareable link, embedded form, or email sequence. No Shopify order trigger required.
• Display anywhere — homepage, about page, services page, checkout flow, landing pages. One widget, many placements.
• Works for any business model — coaches, consultants, agencies, local services, SaaS, restaurants, and yes, Shopify stores that want brand-level testimonials too.

Side-by-side comparison

Which should you choose?

Choose Judge.me if you're a Shopify merchant and your primary goal is product-level reviews attached to product pages and Google Shopping.

Choose SocialProof if you want testimonials about your brand, service, or team — regardless of what platform you're on. If you're not on Shopify, or if you want to collect and display "here's why I love this company" testimonials rather than product star ratings, SocialProof is the right tool.
