Best WordPress Review Plugins in 2026
Data from WordPress.org Updated First published 5 min read
Star ratings, customer reviews and testimonial displays with review schema.
Review plugins collect ratings from visitors or customers, or display ones gathered elsewhere, and mark them up so search engines can read them. The markup is usually the reason people install one: stars in a search result are visible in a way an on-page rating is not.
Together these 10 plugins run on more than 1,430,000 active WordPress sites. Ranked from both WordPress.org orderings for "reviews", its tag listing and its search results.

What changed in the Review Plugins ranking
How to choose a Review Plugin for WordPress
-
1
Collecting and displaying are different jobs
Gathering reviews from customers needs moderation and verification. Showing reviews you already have is a display problem. Match the plugin to yours.
-
2
Get the schema right
Review markup only earns stars in search when it describes something reviewable and reflects what the page shows. Marking up your own business with your own rating does not qualify.
-
3
Verified reviews are worth the friction
A rating tied to an actual order carries more weight with readers than an open form anyone can fill.
-
4
Plan for the bad ones
A page of five-star reviews reads as fake. Check the plugin lets you publish criticism and reply to it.

How we rank Review Plugins
WordPress.org publishes two orderings for "reviews" and neither is reliable alone. The tag listing covers every tag the directory files these plugins under, "reviews", "rating", "ratings", "google-reviews", "customer-reviews" and "product-reviews", and is sorted by active installs, which lets a large plugin carrying one of them loosely sit above the ones the category is about. Its search results are sorted by relevance and carry their own noise. So a plugin is placed here by where it sits across both lists: high in each one lifts it, high in only one does not. We fetch both every day at 03:00 UTC, keep every day's snapshot, and add nothing of our own. No plugin is inserted, removed or sponsored, and each entry shows its position in both lists on its own page. Full methodology.
Review Plugins FAQ

Which Review Plugin has the most active installs?
Widgets for Google Reviews, with 1 million+ active installs reported by WordPress.org as of October 22, 2026. It ranks #1 in this list.
Which Review Plugin has the highest rating?
Widgets for Google Reviews, rated 4.9 out of 5 by 2,661 reviewers on WordPress.org. Only plugins with at least 50 reviews are counted, so a single 5-star review does not win.
Which Review Plugin was updated most recently?

How many Review Plugins are there on WordPress.org?

Are these Review Plugins free?
All 10 are free to install from WordPress.org. 1 of them are listed as commercial, meaning the developer sells a paid version or add-ons: Site Reviews.
Will a Review Plugin put stars in Google results?
It makes them possible, not certain. The plugin adds the structured data; whether stars appear is Google's decision, and it applies rules about what may be reviewed. Self-serving markup, where a site rates itself or its own services, is explicitly excluded and can trigger a manual action.
Should reviews be moderated before publishing?
Approve first if the form is open to anyone, because open review forms attract spam as reliably as comment boxes. Publish immediately if the review is tied to a verified order. Either way, do not delete criticism: an all-positive page is less persuasive than a mixed one with replies.
