Write a bad review, and it gets published instantly. A positive review? Maybe not, pay some money, "manage" and boost your positive reviews.

Hi Marketing,

We want to clear up a few misconceptions here.

Businesses can use our free plan to send up to 100 review requests per month at no cost, and many businesses collect reviews without ever paying us. There is no requirement to upgrade.

Reviews are published based on compliance with our content and collection standards, not whether a business pays. Negative reviews that meet our guidelines are published, just like positive ones. Positive reviews may be delayed or removed only when there are signals that our terms were not followed.

To collect reviews on Sitejabber, all businesses must follow the same rules, free or paid. That means no review gating, no selectively inviting only customers you expect to leave positive feedback, no incentives, and using a verified collection method. These verified methods are also available for free.

Our goal is to ensure reviews on the platform are authentic, unbiased, and trustworthy for consumers.

For the first time in a loooong time I wrote a comment and specifically on this platform (which took time), because the guys from the site BUFFEDHAB.com did a great job and my comment was immediately sent as not useful, it's strange how you work.! I am adding a comment after I left a review - of course I was considered unhelpful with a negative one, since it concerns this platform - a clown show and a circus. I will not come here again, better use trustpilot

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Viktar. Reviews can take up to 48 hours to be scored for quality, which is why yours may have initially appeared in the “not recommended” section. We’re happy to confirm that it has since been processed and is now visible. We appreciate your patience and hope this clears up any confusion

I feel this platform is either inept to perform or hold any accountability for itself. If reviews well within the guidelines take over a month, or longer, for approval, concerns me. At best that is a poor business model. I wrote a review, after noticing one of my favorite writing communities being listed as a two-star reviewed community platform. Having been an author and member of that community since 2004, I do not agree with the assessment, and wished to add my review to the mix from someone who has been there since the community's infancy. That review has yet to be processed. There has been no communication with me in regards to the status of that review. Poor communication from a reviewing platform such as this, makes the experience, legitimacy, and overall function of sitejabber.com not only obsolete, but impractical. There is far better platforms with more transparency and useability out there. It makes one wonder if they are practicing in bias and/or censorship practices.

This is a great website for telling people about your experience with these websites. It doesn't require you to give your personal info, and this is how I write about the terrible learning compainies that my school uses. This was a great idea, executed greatly. This a a great website. Infact, if you're reading this, you're on it right now. Thanks sitejabber.

What's with all these 5 star reviews from mysterious sources that only post once?
This stinks of "Stacking the Deck".

A highly reliable reviews platform that businesses are not fond of. Unlike other review platforms, this platform does not delete legitimate reviews, ensuring that the feedback from customers is accurately portrayed.

Finally, we have a review platform that is genuinely neutral, independent, and worthy of our trust.

I am really thankful that Sitejabber is available for the public to make honest reviews and to view opinions. I really wish I had used this site before dealing with a lot of companies. I have awful experiences with various
Companies, and then I go on Sitejabber to research and people have posted similar experiences. I just wish I had researched Sitejabber first before dealing with these companies. Sitejabber is really a useful site. Thank you for letting us use our freedom of speech amendment.
