FAQ
ProofBoost vs Bazaarvoice — common questions
Technically yes, but practically no. Bazaarvoice is designed for major brands and retail chains that need to syndicate reviews across dozens of retailer websites. It requires a custom contract, enterprise onboarding, and typically costs $25,000+ per year. For most Shopify stores, it's far more than needed — and far too expensive.
Bazaarvoice's standout feature is review syndication — the ability to push your product reviews to major retailer websites like Target, Walmart, and Best Buy. If you're a brand that sells through these big-box retailers and needs centralized review management at scale, Bazaarvoice has tools for that. ProofBoost is focused on collecting and displaying reviews on your own Shopify store.
Within 5 minutes. Install from the Shopify App Store, and your review widget appears on product pages automatically. Set up your post-purchase email delay (we recommend 7 days), and review requests will start going out to your customers right away.
