Jonathan Strupek Marketing Manager Chose PowerReviews We evaluated a lot of lower-end options within the Shopify app marketplace as options against PowerReviews.

Verified User Anonymous Chose PowerReviews Very similar service. I did not see much differentiation between the two, so most important factors would be price and network of partners. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose PowerReviews It was easier to read customer reviews on PowerReviews than on Bazaarvoice. I was not a part of the approving process for either programs. But in my opinion Bazaarvoice does a better job at filtering with their large variety of options that they can pull in a data sheet for you. Incentivized Helpful? Toby Mei Senior Marketing Analyst Chose PowerReviews PowerReview has the questions and answers as well as syndication network which helps user-generated-content. TrustPilot just provides reviews (at least that's what we used). Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose PowerReviews We've stayed with PowerReviews over the years partially due to development priorities, but they offer a very good value for the product.

Reid Mirre, CPM Manager - Web Design & Content Chose PowerReviews We are currently using BazaarVoice and while the platform is nice, the transition from PR has been very rough.

Likelihood to Recommend	PowerReviews is a great tool for outside customers to leave reviews, however, it is not very friendly for the team that is taking the information, analyzing it, and trying to learn from it. Their website can be much improved for ease of use, additionally, it may just be my server, but it takes a lot of time for information to load, even if the review volume is 0. Just all the baggage that comes with the page loading makes it slow Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The product can be returned if I don't like it without wasting the entire product. Business administrators can use it to make a perfect and appropriate purchase without missing a thing. A lot of the products sell out in seconds and the next batch comes a week later.

Pros	Their flexibility with moderation options works well for our business. We can moderate immediately, or have PowerReviews handle the first round of moderation. The back end reporting allows us to export and distribute review content on an automated schedule, helping our product managers get first hand feedback. Easy for customers to leave reviews, with some customization by product type built in and configurable for our products. Also relatively easy to drop visitors in to a review form for the exact product they've purchased. Good value compared to the other major player in the consumer review space.

Cons	If you lack basic coding knowledge (or don't have someone on your team to set this up) it may be a bit of a challenge to get started. The backend has a bit of a learning curve to it, but can be worked through easily with persistence.
