ReviewPro alternatives

Shiji ReviewPro (Reviewpro Reputation) is a full review and reputation management platform for hotels, from 10-room boutiques to multinational chains; it does not publish prices and is sold after a demo. ReviewPro alternatives with published prices include TrustYou, GuestRevu, Customer Alliance and MARA; Revinate, which does not publish a price either, fits if you want to connect reviews with guest data and email marketing. PolarPuffin, made by Polargate, is the alternative for the independent hotel that does not need surveys or a dashboard but wants to know what to fix first, and you can try it free without talking to sales.

Written by Polargate, the company that makes PolarPuffin, so we are an interested party. Data about other tools comes from their official websites, with the date it was checked.

What ReviewPro is and who it is for

Shiji ReviewPro is the online reputation software of the Shiji group, which also makes hotel property management systems (PMS). Its official website says it is used by more than 60,000 hotels in over 150 countries and has been around for 25 years. It is aimed at hotels, resorts, B&Bs and vacation rentals, from 10-room boutiques to multinational chains.

According to its website, as of 23 October 2026, ReviewPro brings together:

  • Review management: reviews from Google, TripAdvisor, Booking.com, Expedia and dozens of other sources in one inbox, with sentiment analysis and filters by source, language and property.
  • Global Review Index (GRI): its own score that combines reputation across platforms and updates several times a day, alongside the Competitive Quality Index (CQI) for benchmarking against competitors.
  • Guest surveys at any point of the stay, by email, WhatsApp or SMS.
  • AI replies, including bulk replies, with a person reviewing before anything is posted.
  • Case management: turns a complaint into a task, assigns it and escalates it if it is not resolved.
  • Custom reports and dashboards, plus PMS and CRM integrations.

ReviewPro does not publish prices: the only route its website offers is to request a demo.

When it makes sense to look for a ReviewPro alternative

ReviewPro is a full platform, built for a team that works on reputation every day. Some hotels are looking for something else:

  • You want to see the price before talking to anyone. ReviewPro is sold after a demo; TrustYou, GuestRevu, Customer Alliance, MARA and PolarPuffin publish their prices.
  • You run a small hotel and will not use everything. If you will not send surveys, manage cases or track an index against the market, a simpler tool may be enough.
  • You want to start free or try before you buy. GuestRevu has a free Lite plan and PolarPuffin a trial with no card.
  • What you are missing is not replying, but knowing what to change. If you already answer your reviews and the open question is what to fix first in the hotel, a tool that ranks changes is a better fit.

If instead you run several hotels, have a reputation team and want surveys, cases and the GRI in one place, ReviewPro remains a natural choice.

ReviewPro alternatives

This table shows what each tool publishes on its official website as of 23 October 2026. Prices are shown as each tool publishes them; PolarPuffin's exclude VAT, and the others do not say on their pages whether tax is included. The other tools list their prices in euros; PolarPuffin's are in US dollars, with the same figures as in euros. PolarPuffin comes first because it is ours.

A cheaper alternative to ReviewPro

Because ReviewPro does not publish its price, nobody can say from public data how much cheaper each alternative is. What you can compare is the entry price each one publishes:

Published entry price of each ReviewPro alternative, per month, as of 23 October 2026
ToolEntry priceContract
Shiji ReviewProNot publishedNot published
GuestRevuLite free; Core €34.99No long-term contracts
MARALite, €70 paying yearly or €100 paying monthlyMonthly or yearly; no minimum term published
TrustYou CXPLite from €75Billed annually
PolarPuffin$79 (Hotel); $63 a month billed yearlyNo minimum term
Customer AllianceCore from €10812-month minimum
RevinateNot publishedNot published

The cheapest plan is not always comparable: each tool's entry plan does a different job. GuestRevu Core and MARA Lite focus on replying and on surveys or automation; PolarPuffin Hotel does not reply to reviews but tells you what to change in the hotel every week. Check what each plan includes before comparing figures.

PolarPuffin vs ReviewPro

PolarPuffin and ReviewPro do different jobs. ReviewPro is a platform for managing the whole online reputation of one hotel or many. PolarPuffin is a weekly report that tells you what to change in the hotel so complaints go down, then checks whether it worked.

Choose ReviewPro if you run several hotels with a dedicated reputation team, need surveys, case management and many sources, or want a recognised index to benchmark against the market.

Choose PolarPuffin if you run an independent hotel or a small group, already reply to your reviews (by hand or with another tool), and need to know what to fix first with little money and little time. How changes are ranked is explained in how it works and in the guide on how to tell what to fix first from your hotel's reviews.

You can also use both: ReviewPro to reply, survey guests and track reputation, and PolarPuffin to decide what to change each week.
