How it works
Open any product page
AliExpress, Temu, Shein, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, an independent Shopify store — or Amazon. Anywhere with reviews and something to lose.
Click ReviewVigil
AI reads the visible reviews and rating pattern: template phrasing, posting bursts, duplicates, five-star ratings with lukewarm text, incentivized-review language.
Get the honest number
A grade from A to F, the adjusted rating, and the specific signals — like duplicate review posted under same name — in seconds.
Questions, answered
Is this a Fakespot replacement?
In spirit, yes. Fakespot shut down in July 2025 after nine years as a free tool — 10 million users, no business model. ReviewVigil rebuilds the idea with a sustainable one: a genuinely useful free tier and a fair subscription, instead of ads or affiliate links.
Which stores does it work on?
Any page with visible reviews — and unlike the Amazon-only checkers, that's the whole point. AliExpress, Temu, Shein, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, independent Shopify stores: the AI reads the page like a person would, so it isn't tied to one retailer's layout.
How is the 'true rating' estimated?
The AI identifies which visible reviews look inauthentic, discounts them, and recalculates. It shows its work: every flagged signal is listed, so you can disagree with it.
What does it cost?
Free: 5 checks a day. Unlimited comes with PageVigil Pro ($15/mo), which also includes AI-filtered page monitoring — price drops, restocks, job postings.
