Ryviu is a Shopify reviews app that lives inside your product pages. SocialProof is a testimonial platform that embeds anywhere — your Shopify store, your landing pages, your booking site, your email. Your testimonials should go wherever your customers are.
Ryviu integrates directly with Shopify's product review schema — great if all your sales happen through Shopify product pages. It imports reviews from AliExpress, sends review request emails, and shows star ratings in Google Shopping. If you're a pure Shopify dropshipper, it's purpose-built for that workflow.
SocialProof is platform-agnostic. You paste one script tag and your testimonial widget appears anywhere: Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, WordPress, Framer, or a hand-coded HTML page. More importantly, SocialProof collects text testimonials from any customer — not just Shopify buyers.

Collect testimonials from any customer on any platform, and embed them anywhere. Free forever for 1 active widget — no credit card required.
