Comparison

BlooTrue vs Common Ninja

Common Ninja prices a single widget and scales with how many you build. BlooTrue does not cap widgets on paid plans. One is a widget marketplace, the other is a review specialist.

BlooTrue vs Common Ninja — Honest Comparison

BlooTrue and Common Ninja overlap on one component and differ almost everywhere else. Common Ninja is a general widget marketplace offering a large library of website components such as charts, tables, countdowns, galleries, forms and review or testimonial widgets, and it publishes list prices for a single widget: a free forever tier, Essentials at 2 US dollars per month billed annually at 24 dollars, Pro at 3.20 dollars per month billed annually at 38.40 dollars, and Ultimate at 5.20 dollars per month billed annually at 62.40 dollars, with the price scaling as widget count grows. BlooTrue is a review widget platform only, connecting to 20+ review platforms including Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Facebook, TripAdvisor, Angi and Booking.com, and it does not cap the number of widgets on any paid plan: Starter at 9 US dollars per month, Pro at 29 dollars and Business at 75 dollars, with a permanent free plan carrying 1 branded widget and unlimited views. BlooTrue never meters widget views on any plan including free, and on paid plans the embed writes review text, rating and count into the page HTML with schema.org markup so AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot can read the reviews, while free BlooTrue widgets render inside an iframe those crawlers skip. Choose Common Ninja if you want many different kinds of website component from one vendor and only need one or two of them, where per-widget pricing is genuinely cheap. Choose BlooTrue if reviews are the job, you want several review widgets across several pages or locations without the cost rising per widget, and you want the review text readable by AI assistants.

About BlooTrue

It shows reviews from 20+ platforms (Google, Yelp, Facebook, Trustpilot, TripAdvisor, Angi, Booking.com and more) in embeddable widgets on any website, with unlimited widget views on every plan including free. On paid plans the embed writes your review text, rating and count into your page HTML with schema.org markup, so AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot can read them; free widgets render inside an iframe those crawlers skip. Free forever plan available. Starter $9/month, Pro $29/month, Business $75/month, with annual billing at $84, $290 and $750.

What's the Quick Verdict?

Pick Common Ninja if you need one or two widgets of many kinds

A large library of component types and list prices from $2/month for a single widget. If you want a countdown, a chart and a review strip from one vendor, that is a real advantage BlooTrue does not have.

Pick BlooTrue if reviews are the job and you need several widgets

Per-widget pricing adds up once you want reviews on the homepage, the service pages and the landing pages. BlooTrue paid plans do not cap widgets, views or domains.

Depth versus breadth

Common Ninja goes wide across component types. BlooTrue goes deep on reviews: 20+ platforms, blended all-in-one widgets on Pro, auto-translation, and review text written into your page HTML on paid plans.

What Do You Get on Every BlooTrue Plan?

Whatever you decide about Common Ninja, this is the full BlooTrue feature set and what each plan costs.

Your reviews readable by AI, on paid plans

On Starter, Pro and Business the embed writes your review text, rating and count into your page HTML, with schema.org markup, and the script swaps in the animated widget for visitors. AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read the HTML your server sends; they do not run widget JavaScript or read third-party iframes. Free BlooTrue widgets render inside an iframe that those crawlers skip.

Unlimited views on every plan, free included

No impression caps, no monthly view quota, no widget paused or hidden because a page got traffic. This is true on the free plan too. Most competitors meter views and move you up a tier when a page does well.

Unlimited widgets and domains on paid plans

Paid plans put no cap on how many widgets you build or how many domains you embed them on, with a domain allowlist to control where they render. Pricing moves on locations, not on websites, so landing pages and microsites do not each cost extra.

20+ review sources, 100+ styles on paid plans

Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Facebook, TripAdvisor, BBB, Angi, Booking.com, Airbnb, OpenTable, G2, Capterra and more. Over 100 widget styles with light and dark themes, custom accent colours and star animations on paid plans; the free plan ships one branded widget in 6 styles. Reviews auto-translate into 68+ languages.

What Does Each Plan Include?

Free$0/month

Free forever — 1 branded widget of any type, unlimited widget views with no impression cap, 1 connected review source on any platform, 100+ widget styles, auto-translation into 68+ languages.

Pro$29/month

$290/year billed annually

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Common Ninja cheaper than BlooTrue?

For a single widget, yes, and clearly so: Common Ninja Essentials lists at 2 US dollars a month billed annually against BlooTrue Starter at 9 dollars a month. The comparison flips once you want more than one or two widgets, because Common Ninja publishes its list prices for a single widget and says the price scales with widget count, while BlooTrue does not cap widgets on any paid plan. A business that wants one review strip on one page should look hard at Common Ninja. A business that wants reviews on the homepage, five service pages and three landing pages should compare the totals.

Does Common Ninja connect to Google and Yelp reviews?

Common Ninja offers review and testimonial components as part of a much larger widget library. What it does not offer is BlooTrue depth on the review side specifically: 20+ connected review platforms, blending several of them into one all-in-one widget on Pro and above, daily automatic refresh, and auto-translation into 68+ languages. Check the current capability on their own site, because a general marketplace changes components more often than a specialist changes its core product.

What does Common Ninja do that BlooTrue does not?

A great deal, and this is the honest reason to pick it. Common Ninja is a marketplace of website components covering many categories beyond reviews, so if you also want a chart, a comparison table, a countdown timer or a form on the same site from the same vendor and the same billing relationship, Common Ninja covers all of it. BlooTrue does reviews and nothing else, plus a before/after Work Showcase widget.

Does either one meter widget views?

BlooTrue does not, on any plan including free. There is no impression cap, no monthly view quota and no widget paused because a page performed well. Common Ninja does not publish a view cap on its pricing page, so confirm with them before assuming either way. The reason this matters is that a view meter turns a successful page into a bill, which is a bad shape for a marketing widget.

Which one can AI assistants read?

On BlooTrue paid plans the embed writes your review text, rating and count into your page HTML with schema.org markup, and the script swaps in the animated widget for visitors. AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read the HTML your server sends; they do not run widget JavaScript or open third-party iframes. Free BlooTrue widgets render inside an iframe those crawlers skip. Common Ninja does not publish this detail, so test any widget the same way: open view-source on your page and search for a sentence from one of your reviews.

Can I use both?

Nothing stops you, and for some sites it is the sensible answer. Use Common Ninja for the general components its library covers and BlooTrue for the review widgets, since both are plain embed snippets that sit alongside each other on the same page. The only thing to watch is total page weight if you load many third-party widgets at once.
