Comparison
ReviewsJet vs Elfsight
You want reviews on your site and you are weighing a dedicated review tool against a general widget suite you may already be paying for.
Elfsight is a large library of embeddable website widgets, of which reviews is one category, priced by how often the widgets load. ReviewsJet does something narrower: import the reviews a business already has, manage them in one place, and display them on its website.
Every Elfsight fact below links to the page it was read from and shows when it was checked — last verified . Pricing and features change; check the source before deciding.
Side by side
The dimensions that actually decide this, rather than a feature grid with ticks in every row on our side.
| Dimension | ReviewsJet | Elfsight |
|---|---|---|
| Primary use case | Take reviews a business already has and put them on its website, looking like part of the site. | Add widgets of many kinds to a website — forms, chats, galleries, sliders and reviews — from one library.Source, checked 18 August 2026 |
| Review import sources | 5 direct sources — Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Tripadvisor and Airbnb — plus a Chrome extension that copies reviews from 5 more sites. The two are not the same: direct sources reconnect and refresh, extension imports are a one-time copy. | Per-source widgets for Google, Facebook, Yelp, Tripadvisor, Airbnb, Booking.com, Etsy, eBay and the app stores, plus an all-in-one reviews widget covering 20+ platforms.Source, checked 18 August 2026 |
| Collecting new reviews | Hosted collection forms and email review requests. A form can also send people to Google or Trustpilot to leave the review there instead. 1 form and 50 requests a month on free. | Not a review-collection product; the review widgets display reviews held on the source platform.Source, checked 18 August 2026 |
| Video testimonials | None. ReviewsJet displays text reviews, ratings and reviewer photos. | Not part of the review widgets, though the wider app library includes video and gallery apps.Source, checked 18 August 2026 |
| Review management | One moderation queue across every source. Nothing appears on the site until it is published, and any review can be tagged. Replies are written in ReviewsJet only for reviews collected through ReviewsJet — a Google review is replied to in Google, because Google owns that thread. | Widget-level filtering — for example showing only positive ratings — rather than a moderation queue that holds reviews back from publication.Source, checked 18 August 2026 |
| Tagging | Tags on any review, used to filter what a given widget shows. | Not offered for reviews; filtering is by rating and source.Source, checked 18 August 2026 |
| Display options | 8 layouts — carousel, masonry, marquee, grid, list and popup — all available on every plan including free, with unlimited widgets. | 6 layout variations for the Google Reviews widget, with colour, font and text-size customisation and an AI review summary.Source, checked 18 August 2026 |
| View limits | None. Widget views are not counted or capped on any plan. | Yes — plans are metered by widget views. The free plan allows 200 views a month and 1 widget, with Elfsight branding shown.Source, checked 18 August 2026 |
| Agency suitability | One login can own several client sites, but only via the Wix or Webflow app on each. No shared dashboard, no seats, and each site bills separately. | Projects and collaborators are included, and the free plan allows unlimited websites; higher view allowances come with higher tiers.Source, checked 18 August 2026 |
| Pricing | Free, then $7.99 and $19.99 a month. Priced by published reviews and connected sources, not by traffic. | Free plan, then single-app plans from $4 to $16/month and Enterprise tiers above that; the 96-app pack runs from $12 to $48/month with higher Enterprise tiers. Prices shown are discounted against a higher regular rate.Source, checked 18 August 2026 |
Strengths of each
Where ReviewsJet is stronger
- No view metering. A widget on a busy page costs the same as one on a quiet page, where Elfsight’s plans are sized by monthly views.
- A real moderation queue — reviews are held until published, rather than filtered at display time.
- Reviews from several sources land in one place with one rating summary, instead of being separate widgets.
- Unlimited widgets on every plan, including free.
- Tagging, replies and review requests, none of which a display widget does.
Where Elfsight is stronger
- Many more review sources have a dedicated widget — Booking.com, Etsy, eBay and others ReviewsJet has no direct connection for.
- The single-app entry price is lower than ReviewsJet’s at $4/month if reviews are all you need and your traffic is modest.
- If you need widgets beyond reviews — forms, chat, galleries — the 96-app pack covers them from one subscription and one vendor.
- The free plan allows unlimited websites, where ReviewsJet’s free plan is one workspace per site.
This section is here because a comparison without one is an advertisement. If Elfsight is the right tool for what you are doing, it is better to find that out here than after paying us.
How the day-to-day differs
- Elfsight configures a widget against a source; ReviewsJet imports reviews into an account you then manage.
- Elfsight filters at display time; ReviewsJet publishes deliberately, so an unpublished review is not on the site at all.
- Elfsight’s cost moves with pageviews; ReviewsJet’s moves with how many reviews you publish.
Which to choose
Choose ReviewsJet if…
Reviews are the point rather than one widget among many, you want to moderate what appears, and you do not want the bill to follow your traffic.
Choose Elfsight if…
You need a spread of unrelated widgets on the site, or your traffic is low enough that a metered plan is genuinely cheaper.
What the ReviewsJet workflow looks like
Paste a listing, publish the reviews worth showing, style the widget, paste one line into the site. This is the widget at the end of it — the real renderer, with sample reviews.
- 01Paste your Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Tripadvisor or Airbnb listing.
- 02Publish the ones worth showing. Nothing goes live until you say so.
- 03Style it to your site — colours, border, radius, what each card shows.
- 04Paste one line, or install the Wix, Webflow or WordPress app.

Questions people ask about this.
- Does ReviewsJet limit how many times a widget can load?
- No. There is no view counter on any plan. Plans are limited by how many reviews you publish and how many sources you connect.
- Can I show reviews from a source ReviewsJet does not connect to directly?
- Often yes, using the Chrome extension to copy them in — but that is a one-time copy, not a connection that refreshes. If a live connection to that specific source is essential, check whether Elfsight has a dedicated widget for it.
