Fakespot Reviews in May 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Nothing about this is genuine

Nothing about this is genuine. Their ratings are nonsensical. You're better off doing a quick scroll of the reviews yourself. If you rely on this, you're still just as likely to be get scammed. When Mozilla bought Fakespot, it should have been warning enough considering Mozilla itself now nothing but a conglomeration of scammers.

The only review you need Fakespot

It just uses algorithms based on reviewers words, and edits, (To note I edit my reviews to fix spelling msitakes or to update the review regarding the product use etc..) This fakespot doesn't prove anything, I know this for a fact, because it found me as a top reviewer on Amazon to be fake, only I know myself right, I know my reviews, I know I'm the real deal, I'm a no nonesense reviewer, you cannot get a more honest reviewer than me in the whole world filled with 8+ billion people. Sorry ...

fakespot itself is FAKE

fakespot itself is FAKE! all it does is count words and search keywords.. there is no ai nor algorithm. its a lie itself

So many "reviews" of the well-known…

So many "reviews" of the well-known scam - "2TB USB flash drives" at VERY low prices, the reviews are VERY similar, and fakespot approves the seller?

FakeSpot analyzer is bogus…

Seems to me this FakeSpot analyzer is simply bogus. Just take a look - 2 identical earbuds, one is in black and rated 'F', and another one in white rated 'B'. Both earbuds have same 207 reviews. See for yourself: SoundPEATS Air4 Pro Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth 5.3 Earbuds with 6 Mics CVC 8.0 ENC, Qualcomm® AptX™ Adaptive Earphones, Multipoint Connection, in-Ear Detection,App Customize EQ

I don't get it

I don't get it. I downloaded it. It only worked on Amazon and results seemed sketchy. I tried it on other websites where you need to analyze reviews like Temu and it doesn't work at all. I thought it would scan the reviews and provide feedback , nothing. I went to Mt eBay account, nothing. It offers to steer you to better deals, that's fishy. I think it is a bot that collects your information. I will uninstall now

Ditto all the others who have caution…

Ditto all the others who have caution warning on their eBay seller account????? I have 4 sales this month and a 100% record since 2007.

Erroneous Information

Fakespot has put a Seller Caution rating on my eBay listing while I have an Above Average seller rating with eBay. Fakespot claims I am a new seller and should not be trusted. I have been listing and selling on eBay for years. Fakespot does more harm than good if its ratings are not accurate.

I used to be a big fan of Fakespot

I used to be a big fan of Fakespot, right up until they decided to screw me over with a "Seller Caution" on my eBay account which I've run since 1999. How dare they make such an assumption, attempting to scare off bidders to things I sell on eBay, it's a step too far. The concept is a good idea, but Fakespot's implementation is flawed to the extent that it's offensive. It's your computer, you do as you will, but from my experience, they're not worthy of the claims they make and thusly, ...

It used to work better, but not quite now

It used to work better, but not quite now. Honestly, I'm sceptical about its algorithm recently. For example, two identical products in different colours, listed on the same Amazon page, got different ratings, despite they were analysed at the same time based on the same set of reviews.
