Fakespot Reviews in June 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Inaccurate, unreliable

It seems as if they post inaccurate reviews and data; not reliable.

F rating for good listing with fake 1-star reviews

As a seller I no longer support Fakespot. In the beginning, Fakespot correctly attirbuted grade A to my listing (organic reviews only). As it gained success, it's been under a heavy attack of fake 1-star reviews (20+ within 2 weeks). With that, Fakespot's rating dropped to F. The way it looks like from the customer's standpoint is that not only the listing's rating dropped but it also lost its credibility. UPDATE: I've just reanalyzed the data and it switched back to A. I've raised my ...

This plugin seemed like a good idea, but...

This plugin seemed like a good idea, but after using it for just over a month I've found it to be horribly unreliable. Lots of well-reviewed products that I have myself, and know to be excellent, getting an 'F' rating. Ditto with the converse, terribly reviewed products getting an "A" from them.

Poor analysis of reviewers

It used to be okay...

It used to be okay, but now apparently every item I ever consider is unreliable; and that's a lot of items. Something has gone wrong within the last few months; either the learning of the system is incorrect or Fakespot is trying to say "Stop buying from Amazon", which while is a worthy cause, is not what I use the site for.

Hmmm 🤔

Wow something significant has changed in the past several months. I was suspicious by all the F’s so I started looking into products I’ve used and they were all F’s or D’s. Then I started reading amazon reviews for A and B rated and honestly I was confused on how they received the grade. I
