Summary

When comparing, Ryviu has both Loox’s features and more. Therefore, Ryviu is a better option. Why do I say that? Let’s see:

• Firstly, you can collect reviews and photo reviews from many sources such as Aliexpress, Amazon, from CSV files by Ryviu, not only your real customers. The more reviews you have on products, the higher you can expect conversions to be, assuming that there is a generally positive trend for your products.
• Secondly, Ryviu helps you to boost your sales and increase the conversion rate based on importing reviews, creating a Happy Customer page, adding questions and answers, and showing reviews on your site with an attractive design.
• Thirdly, Ryviu can help you to offer the discount code when sending emails to your customers to ask reviews like Loox. It is easy to create the email template with your name, logo, subject, text and setting the time to send emails on your Ryviu dashboard. Click here to see the detail.
• Besides, Ryviu offers you a beautiful review widget layout with Default, Masonry, and Carousel theme to fit your store design. In contrast, you will get 1 theme if using Loox. It is simple to your customers to check all images, filter reviews based on the number of star ratings, photos, or replied, sort reviews by latest or oldest. Everything is clear and propositional.

With Loox, your customers cannot do anything without loading more reviews to see all. To illustrate my point, let check below image:

• Lastly, Ryviu has a Free plan if you do not want to cost on creating social proof on your store. You can upgrade your subscription when you’re ready to pay. On the other hand, Loox gives you 14 trial days only. Then you need to pay at least $10 a month. That price even is double to Simple plan on Ryviu. Then, you will cost a big amount of money if using Loox for a long time.

In conclusion, Loox can be a good choice if you want to engage customers via email only. However, no one wants to be passively waiting for customer reviews, right? Let’s start selling online with Shopify and Ryviu app today!
