The 7 Best Free Elfsight Alternatives in 2026: Review Widgets, Ranked by Their Free Plans
Trustpilot
Google
FacebookElfsight makes good widgets, and most people looking for an alternative are not unhappy with how it looks. They hit the free plan's 200 monthly views, the widget went away until the month rolled over, and the next step was a paid plan. This list ranks seven free alternatives for exactly that person: someone who wants to stay free. Every figure comes from the vendor's own pricing page, read on October 24, 2026.
What the Elfsight free plan allows
Elfsight prices each app on its own page. On October 24, 2026 both the Google Reviews app and the All-in-One Reviews app listed the same free plan: 1 widget, 200 views a month, unlimited websites and Elfsight branding, and both pages state that exceeding the monthly limit will temporarily deactivate the app. Google Reviews is $5 a month billed yearly, or $6 monthly, for 5,000 views and 3 widgets. All-in-One Reviews costs twice that: $10 billed yearly, or $12 monthly, for the same 5,000 views.
A view is a page load, not a visitor. A widget in your footer loads on every page, so one person reading three pages spends three views. On a small site 200 views is roughly 60 to 70 real people a month.
How we ranked them
One rule: how much of the job the free plan does for a small business whose widget sits on every page. The view cap counts first, because it is the limit that sends people away from Elfsight. Then which review platforms free covers, then how many reviews it shows and whether they stay current. We make BlooTrue, and it comes first under this rule; where another tool is the better pick for a specific case, the entry says so.

The 7 best free Elfsight alternatives, ranked
1. BlooTrue
It removes the exact limit people leave Elfsight over, and unlike Featurable it is not limited to Google: Yelp, Facebook, Tripadvisor, Angi and Booking.com all work on free. We make it, and we rank it first under the rule above. Its wall is freshness: daily sync starts on Starter.
Free monthly views: No cap. Best for: reviews beyond Google, or a page that gets busy.
2. Featurable
If your reviews are on Google and you have one location, Featurable’s free plan beats ours: more reviews and every layout, also with no view cap.
Free monthly views: No cap (may be rate limited). Best for: one Google location.
3. SociableKIT
Ten times Elfsight’s free views and the most reviews on screen of any metered plan here. You refresh it by hand.
Free monthly views: 2,000. Best for: social feeds and reviews from one tool, with modest traffic.
4. EmbedSocial
More than twice Elfsight’s views, and a daily sync on free, which is rare.
Free monthly views: 500. Best for: fresh Google reviews on a quiet page.
5. Tagembed
Fewer views than EmbedSocial and a manual refresh; strongest if you also want social feeds.
Free monthly views: 300. Best for: a social wall with some reviews in it.
6. Trustindex
The most platforms anywhere and cheap paid plans. Ranked sixth because its own table puts the review widget layouts in the paid column, so the free package is thinner than the headline.
Free monthly views: None stated. Best for: an unusual review platform, if yearly billing suits you.
7. Common Ninja
No more room than Elfsight on free, but it can blend platforms for $0 and its first paid step is the cheapest here.
Free monthly views: 200 pageviews (read 19 Sep). Best for: a blended widget on a very quiet page.
Three more free plans skip the view cap and did not make this list because their free tier is narrower: JustReview (a rating badge only), ReviewsJet (5 reviews) and Reviews Widget (Google only, 6 reviews). They are in our comparison of free plan view limits, with the arithmetic for working out how many views your site uses.
If you need more than one platform in the widget
This is the one place where Elfsight free is ahead of most alternatives. Its All-in-One Reviews widget covers 30+ platforms and its price page sets no limit on sources, so the free plan can mix platforms inside its 200 views. Common Ninja free can too. SociableKIT, EmbedSocial and Tagembed free include one source, and BlooTrue free connects one platform, so none of those can blend for $0. On BlooTrue, Starter ($9/month) blends 3 platforms and Pro ($29/month) blends every platform you connect; see combining Google, Yelp and Facebook reviews in one widget and which review widgets combine several platforms.
When staying with Elfsight is the right call
If your widget sits on one quiet landing page and 200 loads a month is enough, nothing here is a reason to move. If you use several Elfsight apps, such as forms, popups and social feeds, one vendor is simpler than three. And if you are happy to pay, $5 to $10 a month billed yearly for 5,000 views is a fair price for a polished product. The case for moving is narrow: you want to stay on a free plan, or you do not want a bill that follows your traffic.
Which to pick
- Google reviews only, one location: Featurable.
- Reviews on another platform, or a page that gets busy: BlooTrue.
- Social feeds and reviews from one tool, modest traffic: SociableKIT.
- Fresh Google reviews on a quiet page: EmbedSocial.
- A blended widget for $0 on a very quiet page: stay on Elfsight or try Common Ninja.
