"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 ReviewGrowth publishes itself
Taken from our ReviewGrowth review, where each one is sourced to their own pages.
- The funnel is a rating gate. Their own words are "Your rating decides where this goes next", with 5 stars going to Google and unhappy ratings going to the owner's inbox.
- The same page criticises gating, defined as "Only happy customers are shown the Google link". It then claims their approach differs because "Everyone is invited to leave a public review". The funnel they describe does not match that claim.
- $39 per location is about 8 times our per location rate.
- Google only.
- Early stage. The page says "We're just getting started" and offers launch updates.

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.

ReviewGrowth alternatives, answered
How much is ReviewGrowth?
Starter is $39 per location a month, Growth $99 and Agency $299, all per location. We read these on 18 October 2026. There is a 14 day trial with no card and no permanent free plan.
Does ReviewGrowth do review gating?
Their page says both things, so read it yourself. The funnel is described as the rating deciding where the customer goes next, with 5 stars to Google and unhappy ratings to the owner. The same page says everyone is invited to leave a public review.
Is a star rating step allowed by Google?
Google's policy says a business may not "discourage or prohibit negative reviews, or selectively solicit positive reviews from customers". A flow that sends 5 star raters to Google and everyone else to an inbox is the pattern that sentence describes.
