Updated November 2026. Prices are taken from each vendor’s own pricing page on 2 November 2026. We make Repuso, one of the tools below.
A review widget takes the reviews customers already left on Google, Facebook, Tripadvisor and other sites and shows them on your WordPress site, so visitors see proof without leaving the page. All five tools below do that. They differ on price model, view limits, how many review sites they read, and whether they also help you get new reviews.
Our pick: Repuso
For most WordPress sites, Repuso is the best choice:
- Reviews from 50+ sites in one widget, including Google, Facebook, Tripadvisor, Trustpilot, G2 and Capterra.
- Unlimited views and unlimited websites on every paid plan, so a busy month never switches your widget off.
- Gets you new reviews too: review requests by email and SMS, a review collection page and NFC review cards.
- From $5 a month, the same entry price as the cheapest tool here, without the view limit.
- Agency ready: white label and client sub-accounts.

- Price: Essential $5 / month billed yearly ($7 monthly) with 3 widgets; Standard $11 (10 widgets, branding removal); Ultimate $17 (unlimited widgets). Pricing.

- Why it wins: one tool shows your reviews from every site, never stops at a view limit, and brings in new reviews, for the price of the cheapest widget.
2. Trustindex
One of the most installed review plugins for WordPress, priced per company.

How to choose
- Count your sites and traffic. View limits matter more than the headline price. Repuso, Trustindex and Smash Balloon have no view limit.
- List the review sites you need. Google only is easy for every tool. Google plus Facebook, Tripadvisor or industry sites narrows the list quickly; Repuso reads 50+.
- Decide if you also want new reviews. A widget shows reviews you already have. Review requests by email or SMS get you more of them; Repuso includes both.
- Agencies: check white label and per-client pricing first.
Questions
What is the best review widget for WordPress?
For most sites, Repuso: reviews from 50+ sites, unlimited views and websites, and review requests in the same account, from $5 a month.
Do review widgets slow down WordPress?
Most load after the page, so the effect on page speed is small. Plugin-only tools run in your WordPress install; hosted widgets (Repuso, Elfsight, EmbedSocial) load from the vendor’s servers.
Can I show Google and Facebook reviews in one widget?
Yes with Repuso, Trustindex, EmbedSocial and Smash Balloon (Plus plan and up). Elfsight’s Google Reviews widget shows Google only.
Is there a free review widget for WordPress?
Trustindex, Elfsight and EmbedSocial have free plans with limits; Smash Balloon has a free plugin; Repuso has a 10-day free trial with every feature.
