Review Collect vs Loox

Loox is the go-to for photo and video review galleries on Shopify. If your goal is filling Google and Trustpilot with reviews through WhatsApp and SMS β€” with AI responses in under 60 seconds β€” Review Collect does something different. They're built for different jobs, and most serious Shopify merchants end up using both.

● Our verdict

Loox is the clear winner for photo and video galleries on Shopify. If you want beautiful on-site visuals that convert, Loox delivers. Review Collect solves a different problem: getting reviews onto Google, Trustpilot, and Maps at scale through WhatsApp and SMS, responding to every published review in under 60 seconds, and keeping unhappy customers out of public forums. Most ambitious Shopify merchants run both.

● What Review Collect adds on top

What Review Collect adds on top of Loox

Here's what Review Collect brings you concretely, as a complement to what Loox already does.

01 / 04

WhatsApp and SMS vs email only

Loox collects reviews by email. Review Collect sends via WhatsApp and SMS through its own Meta Business account, fully white-label. That's a 40% average response rate vs 2-3% for email. On 1,000 orders a month, you're looking at 400 reviews collected instead of 20.

02 / 04

Multi-platform vs Shopify exclusive

Loox only works on Shopify. Review Collect works across all sectors β€” hospitality, services, SaaS, retail β€” and routes satisfied customers to Google, Trustpilot, Verified Reviews, G2, or Capterra based on your priorities. If your stack changes or you're not on Shopify, Loox can't follow.

03 / 04

AI replies everywhere vs Loox reviews only

Loox's AI replies to Loox reviews. Review Collect replies to every published review β€” Google, Trustpilot, Maps, and more β€” in under 60 seconds, positive and negative alike. Those unanswered Google reviews from six months ago? That's exactly what Review Collect handles.

04 / 04

Automatic SAV mediation vs no dedicated flow

When a customer rates 1 or 2 stars, Loox publishes. Review Collect routes them to a branded feedback page and alerts your support team with the order number, email, and phone. 93% of unhappy customers contacted this way prefer resolving privately. The customer always keeps the choice to publish β€” nothing is blocked.
