BeyondReviews vs Stamped
We make BeyondReviews, so read this as our side of an honest argument. Stamped has repositioned as a retention platform, with reviews as one of three products beside loyalty and lifecycle. The comparison is about whether reviews are your retention lever or your discovery lever.
Verdict
Choose Stamped if you are a mid-market brand buying retention: loyalty, lifecycle moments and reviews on one platform, with migration help and no contract. Choose BeyondReviews if reviews are how new customers find you, not just how old ones stay: every review answered in your voice, carrying phrases shoppers search, on a page engines read, starting free.
- Stamped: Mid-market stores buying loyalty and reviews together without enterprise cost.
- BeyondReviews: Stores that want reviews working for discovery: search, AI answers, the next customer.
Which is right for you?
What does each think a review is for?
Stamped’s frame is retention: reviews as one of the "moments" that turn a one-time buyer into a repeat customer, beside loyalty points and lifecycle emails. BeyondReviews’ frame is discovery: a review and its reply are text that can answer what the next shopper searches, so it writes them into the page and works the language continuously.
Which is better for a mid-market brand consolidating tools?
Stamped, if loyalty is part of the purchase. Its platform bundles reviews, loyalty and lifecycle with unlimited orders on the platform plans, migration support, and month-to-month terms. BeyondReviews does not sell loyalty or lifecycle at all.
How do the prices compare?
Stamped runs two motions: cheap self-serve tiers on the Shopify App Store from $23 a month, and platform plans that its archived pricing page listed at $299 a month per product with unlimited orders. There is no free plan; Stamped removed it in 2025. BeyondReviews is free to 100 orders a month, then $29, $99 and $249, every price public.
What about the replies?
Stamped collects and displays well, with commenting as a feature. BeyondReviews is built around the reply: your voice learned from your writing, real phrases from your own Google Search Console woven in, rewrites when search shifts, human-only answers on one and two star reviews, and your approval before anything publishes.

Frequently asked questions
Is Stamped or BeyondReviews better for repeat customers?
Stamped, by design: loyalty points and lifecycle emails are its products and repeat purchase is their job. BeyondReviews works the other end of the funnel: the shopper who has not found you yet and is typing a question into Google or ChatGPT.
Does BeyondReviews have a free plan where Stamped does not?
Yes. Free to 100 orders a month with photo and video reviews, star ratings on your Google results and full support, no card. Stamped removed its free plan in 2025; its cheapest entry is $23 a month on the App Store.
Can I move from Stamped to BeyondReviews?
Yes. Importing your existing reviews is part of setup, they count toward your rating from day one, and keeping your Google stars visible through the switch is treated as our problem, not yours.
