- Total reviews: 65

### Secondary ratings

- Ease of use: 4.5/5
- Customer support: 4.2/5
- Value for money: 4.0/5
- Functionality: 4.4/5

### Rating distribution

- 5 stars: 46 reviews (71%)
- 4 stars: 11 reviews (17%)
- 3 stars: 2 reviews (3%)
- 2 stars: 1 reviews (2%)

### Most mentioned pros

- The concept of a consumer review platform is good in theory.
- After trying sitejabber and other alternatives, I found this site to be the most reliable one in managing reviews and feedback from users.
- I like being able to ascertain the validity of web sites and real reviews from real people not bots

### Most mentioned cons

- They create unauthorized listings, accumulate negative reviews, suppress or remove positive ones, provide broken dispute tools, then aggressively pressure you to pay for premium services to improve the rating they manufactured. When provided with irrefutable evidence that a review is false — including delivery proof, payment records, and the reviewer's own contradictory emails — they send a generic response and close the case.
- The pattern: host negative reviews, suppress positive ones, break dispute tools, then sell you the solution.
- We requested Sitejabber to remove our listing from their site, fix our listing or refund us the money that we spent to use their services.

### The WORST tech company I have had the displeasure of dealing with.

- Overall rating: 1/5
- Reviewer: Matthew B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Retail
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: January 2025
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Anyone that is considering paying for or using Sitejabber's services—I would heed caution and consider other review platforms. Be careful of unethical business practices, lock-in contracts and blackmail to continue using their services. Probably one of the worst experience I have ever had with a tech company as a small business owner. We spent thousands of dollars to use their services to collect reviews through their platform from mid 2021 to mid 2024. After deciding to discontinue using their services—almost 2-3k of our 5 star reviews were removed from our profile, and we were left with an extremely poor business rating due to their broken rating system. We requested Sitejabber to remove our listing from their site, fix our listing or refund us the money that we spent to use their services. They took no accountability, refused to remove our listing and then said the only solution to fix the issue is to continue paying full price for their services with a 1 year lock in contract? Now we are left with no other option, and unfortunately forced into continue paying for the services.

### Not maintainable

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Internet

- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: April 2019
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I really appreciated the customer support, they were friendly and helpful. I think Sitejabber is a service a company should only pay for if they have no other choice and have a high-volume of new clients monthly that they can pull reviews from. Companies with few new clients every month will find themselves paying for a services without seeing a ROI.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

I like that Sitejabber allows you to bulk upload and send customized requests for reviews. I liked that you could moderate reviews and require that a reviewer provide proof that they've used your service.

#### Cons

The biggest thing I did not like about Sitejabber is their rating model because your rating goes down not just for poor reviews, but also if you do not gain a review in the previous 30 day period. Also, once you've sent a request to one customer you cannot send them a request again in the future.

#### Pros

Easy to use interface and has good SEO for searches.

#### Cons

They do not allow you to ask your customers to write reviews on Sitejabber. If they see that the reviewer came from you, they will block it. If you want to unblock positive reviews from your customers, you must pay them for their expensive plan...

#### Vendor response

Hey Alex, there seems to be a misunderstanding. We allow businesses to send up to 50 review requests on our free plan. To allow for full transparency, we don't prevent reviewers from leaving any kind of feedback, positive or negative. The only reason a review would be removed is if it violates our Terms of Service (you can learn more here: https://www.sitejabber.com/faq#remove). Please contact us at sayhello@sitejabber.com if you're unable to request reviews. Thank you.

### Sitejabber deletes years of genuine reviews when you do not pay.

- Overall rating: 1/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Internet
- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: June 2023
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Sitejabber scam: I collected over 150 legitimate reviews for 12 years. Sitejabber notices your success & pressures you to subscribe to their (totally unnecessary) "review collection tools" costing $1000's.When you decline the subscription, the Sitejabber scam algo suddenly decides most of your reviews (which have been there for years) are not genuine and are deleted. They don't even notify or inform you.Proof with screenshots of communication with customers is rejected. However if you pay, you can create fake reviews, no problem.Don't waste your time.

#### Pros

Nothing. I wasted years gathering genuine reviews

#### Cons

Sitejabber deletes years of genuine reviews when you do not sign up to pay for their subscription services - they will favour companies in your category who are paying to ensure you fall down the list. Sitejabber will ignore the evidence you provide to prove your reviews are from genuine customers, if you do not pay their subscription

#### Cons

It is extremely expensive to upgrade to the pro version - The exchange rate from the ZAR to the Dollar makes it unaffordable for a small business to upgrade. Maybe you can consider special pricing for countries with poor exchange rates.

### Broken Dispute Tools, Suppressed Positive Reviews, Aggressive Sales Pressure — FTC Consent Order Says It All

- Overall rating: 1/5
- Reviewer: Jenna A.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Arts and Crafts
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: February 2026
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Sitejabber's business model appears designed to trap businesses. They create unauthorized listings, accumulate negative reviews, suppress or remove positive ones, provide broken dispute tools, then aggressively pressure you to pay for premium services to improve the rating they manufactured. When provided with irrefutable evidence that a review is false — including delivery proof, payment records, and the reviewer's own contradictory emails — they send a generic response and close the case. We have filed formal complaints with the FTC (Report 197458219), BBB, and California Attorney General. Any business considering Sitejabber should read their 15 BBB complaints first. Other businesses describe identical experiences.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

The concept of a consumer review platform is good in theory. The dashboard interface is clean and easy to navigate initially.

#### Cons

Where do I begin. We are a 25-year-old business featured in Forbes, BBC, The Guardian and Vogue. Sitejabber created our listing without authorization and refuses to remove it. When a reviewer posted provably false claims, we submitted comprehensive evidence including delivery confirmation, payment records, and the reviewer's own enthusiastic emails. Sitejabber declined our report with a generic template and marked it "Report Declined" with no appeal. Their suggested "Verification Request" tool returns a 404 error — the tool literally does not exist. A customer left us a glowing 5-star review — Sitejabber published it momentarily then removed it permanently. Meanwhile false 1-star reviews stay forever. After declining our evidence, Sitejabber emailed us saying we have a 1.5 rating and offering paid tools to "fix" it. For years their sales reps [sensitive content hidden] called and emailed repeatedly pressuring us to buy premium plans. The pattern: host negative reviews, suppress positive ones, break dispute tools, then sell you the solution. Sitejabber is under an FTC Consent Order (January 2025) for misrepresenting reviews. We have filed complaints with the FTC, BBB, and California Attorney General.

#### Reasons for choosing SmartCustomer

We did not choose Sitejabber. Sitejabber created a business listing for our company without our authorization or consent. We claimed the page only to attempt to manage the damage from false reviews appearing on a platform we never asked to be listed on.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your concerns. In order to preserve the integrity of our review platform, Sitejabber (much like Trustpilot and Capterra) allows all real customers of a business to submit reviews and leave public feedback. While we do remove reviews that violate our content guidelines, Sitejabber does not arbitrate factual disputes between reviewers and businesses. Regarding the review in question, the customer not only uploaded a proof of purchase at the time of submission, but also provided additional verification of their experience when our moderation team reached out to them. All businesses are subject to the same moderation standards; paying for our premium tools does not entitle any business to have verified reviews removed simply because it disagrees with them. We value feedback from businesses and remain committed to applying our policies consistently and fairly. Please feel free to share any new information through the appropriate reporting channels.

#### Pros

Our driving factor for switching to Sitejabber after using three other review services for years, was simply that it proved to be an effective all-in-one solution that drove better results that the other three services combined. It was the most expensive of the four, however, since it allowed us to save by rolling everything into one platform, this was an obvious choice.

#### Cons

The on-site badging could be more useful if it was smaller, and on a transparent background.

#### Reasons for choosing SmartCustomer

Better performance (review response rate & overall ratings) after conducting extensive testing.

#### Reasons for switching to SmartCustomer

It allowed us to cancel these other services at a significant cost savings, while simultaneously getting more feedback, better feedback, and allowed us to syndicate the feedback to other platforms.

#### Vendor response

Hey Benjamin. We're thrilled to hear how Sitejabber has helped you increase results. Thank you for sharing your experience.
