"Review filtering" means asking a customer how it went before showing the review buttons. Google's policy forbids it. "Not explained" means the vendor names a filter and never describes it.
The limits Rating Captain publishes itself
Taken from our Rating Captain review, where each one is sourced to their own pages.
- Their reviews pricing page shows 4 plan names and no prices at all.
- Their own pages disagree. We found the entry review plan at $19, $15, $9 and $49 depending on which page we read.
- The Voyager tier is listed as 1 location in the cards and 1 to 10 elsewhere.
- Prices are shown as net, so tax is on top.
- The Starter review plan connects 1 review platform.

How we picked these
- We read the price on each company's own website on 18 October 2026 and wrote down the date. Nothing came from a blog or a comparison article.
- Where a company publishes no price, the list says so instead of repeating a figure from somewhere else.
- We checked each one for review filtering, and we quote the vendor's own words rather than guessing.
- We left in the tools that beat us, and said what they do better.
- We put our own product on the list and labelled it, because hiding that would make this an advert.
