Opinew alternatives
Opinew imports from more marketplaces than anything else here, and that is a genuine specialism. Most stores looking to leave are not replacing the importer, they are replacing what happens after the import.
Verdict
Name the reason before you pick. If it is cost, Rivyo does a narrower version of the same import job from a lower entry price with a free tier that runs to 100 orders a month. If it is the app around the reviews, Judge.me is the flat-priced all-rounder with the most crawlable markup. Loox is the move once your own customers start leaving photographs. Fera gives more control over display at a low price. Junip is the fast, modern pick with a free tier that is not capped on orders.
- Rivyo: Best if the reason is cost and you still need marketplace import.
- Judge.me: Best all-round replacement, and the most crawlable review markup.
Alternatives
Rivyo
The closest like-for-like at half the entry price, with a free tier gated on monthly orders rather than on requests and imports. What you give up is breadth: Rivyo is built around Amazon and AliExpress, so if eBay is part of your catalogue this is not a straight swap. Request channels are email and QR codes, with no SMS at any tier.
Best for Budget dropshipping stores importing from Amazon and AliExpress
Judge.me
The move for stores that have stopped optimising the importer and started caring about the app around it. Flat pricing with no volume caps, a free plan that is not capped on monthly orders, and review markup a crawler can read without running JavaScript, which is the strongest position in this category. Importing exists but is not what it is built around, so check its current importer documentation against your sources.
Best for Stores that want a better all-round app and the most readable review HTML
Loox
The move for the point where imported reviews stop carrying the product page and your own customers start sending photographs. Nothing else here presents visual reviews as well. Its free tier stops at 500 orders, video needs the $49.99 Convert tier, and paid pricing rises with order volume, so above the cap treat it as a step up in cost rather than a swap.
Best for Stores graduating from imported reviews to their own customer photos
Fera
Half the entry price of Opinew, with considerably more control over how reviews are displayed without needing a developer. It has a 60-day trial rather than a permanent free tier, so a store currently living inside the Opinew free ceiling is starting a bill rather than moving sideways. Smaller product, smaller review base, widget-rendered review text.
Best for Small stores that want low cost and control over display
Junip
Modern, mobile-first and light, with a free tier gated on widgets rather than on requests or orders, so a growing store stays free considerably longer than on Opinew. Its paid step is the highest on this page and it is not built around marketplace import, so this is a decision about the storefront rather than about the catalogue.
Best for Stores that want fast, modern widgets and a free tier without an order cap
REVIEWS.io
The only one here that adds company reputation reviews next to product reviews, from a licensed Google reviews partner, with SMS among its request channels. Its free tier caps monthly invites, which is the same kind of ceiling Opinew uses and will bite in the same place, so this is a move for the extra job rather than for a bigger free plan.
Best for Stores that want company and product reputation in one place
BeyondReviews
Ours, and we import nothing, so this is not a like-for-like. If the marketplace importer is the job, one of the apps above is the answer. If the job is that the reviews you already have are invisible to a crawler because a widget draws them, that is the one we do.
Best for Stores with reviews already, and nothing readable in the HTML
Which is right for you?
What is Opinew genuinely better at?
Marketplace import breadth. It pulls from Amazon, eBay and AliExpress, and no other app on this page covers all three as a specialism. If your catalogue turns over and you need credible reviews on a product the day it goes live, that is a real capability and not a checkbox. It is also worth being honest about what it costs you: at 4.7 stars across 623 Shopify App Store reviews it carries the lowest rating in this set, which is a signal about the experience around the importer rather than about the importer itself.
What is the cheapest like-for-like?
Rivyo, at roughly half the entry price, with a free tier that runs to 100 orders a month instead of gating requests and imports. The import surface is narrower, built around Amazon and AliExpress, so confirm it covers your sources before treating price as the deciding factor. Verify this on the current documentation rather than here: which marketplaces an importer supports changes as marketplaces change their terms, and it is the least stable fact on any page like this one.
What if the free plan is the problem?
Then look at what each free plan actually gates. Opinew caps review requests and imports per month, which is a ceiling you reach by sending rather than by selling, so it arrives early for a store doing the right thing. Judge.me and Junip are the two whose free plans are not capped on monthly orders at all, one gated on features and the other on widgets. That is a structurally higher ceiling for a growing store, and it is the single most useful distinction between free plans in this category.
What if you need SMS review requests?
Then price it carefully, because it is where the tiers separate. Opinew lists SMS from its $89 tier. Stamped and REVIEWS.io both list SMS among their channels at entry prices well below that, which makes them worth a look even though neither is a marketplace importer. Two things to check before you switch on this basis: SMS almost always carries a per-message cost on top of the plan, and it is not equally available in every country, so confirm both against where your customers actually are.
What should you do about the reviews you already imported?
Read a sample of them before you move them. A review imported from a marketplace listing is about that listing: its seller, its shipping, sometimes a variant you do not stock. The damage is not theoretical, it is a shopper reading praise for a delivery you did not make. Leave behind anything that names another seller. Guidance from search engines about review content you did not collect yourself is revised from time to time, so check the current version rather than an older summary before relying on imported reviews for star snippets.
What do you lose in the move?
Usually merchant replies, verified-buyer status, and photos as files rather than as links, unless the destination importer explicitly handles them. The review records themselves move reliably. Check which product key the importer matches on, because a migration keyed to a handle you have since changed strands reviews on nothing and reports success. Keep one set of review structured data live at every moment: the gap between the old widget leaving and the new one populating is what takes star ratings out of search results, and they return more slowly than they leave.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Opinew alternative overall?
For most stores, Judge.me: a free plan that is not capped on orders, a flat paid step with no volume caps, and the most readable review markup in the category. If the importer is the reason you chose Opinew and cost is the reason you are leaving, Rivyo is the closer match at a lower entry price, with a narrower set of marketplaces.
Is there a cheaper app that imports marketplace reviews?
Rivyo, at a lower entry price and with a free tier that runs to 100 orders a month rather than gating requests and imports. It is built around Amazon and AliExpress, so check whether it covers the marketplaces you actually pull from before treating it as a swap.
Does any alternative have a bigger free plan?
Judge.me and Junip both have free plans that are not capped on monthly orders, which is a different shape of ceiling from Opinew's free tier of 50 review requests and 100 imports. Neither is built around marketplace import, so this is a trade of import tooling for headroom.
Which alternative is better for SEO?
Judge.me. Its review markup is server-readable and it ships JSON-LD, so the review text is present in the page rather than assembled by a script afterwards. Opinew supports rich snippets, which is enough to get star ratings into search results, but the review text itself is widget-rendered.
Can I move my imported reviews to another app?
Usually yes, since they exist as review records once imported. Whether you should is a separate question: reviews written about another seller's listing are the ones most likely to be wrong about your store. Treat the migration as a chance to audit rather than as a copy.
