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

Not reliable anymore

I discovered Fakespot after finding it mentioned often on a deals forum, probably about six months ago. At first I was really confident with the results, but that confidence has ebbed as of late. It now seems to be extremely random, and items I have purchased in the past that I've been completely pleased with are now being graded with a D or F. On another note, the deals forum that I first heard about Fakespot on hasn't mentioned it in quite a while. Coincidence, or maybe not...

Sellers Hate It. Buyers Love it.

A huge wake up call and a must for buyers! I'll never shop without this again. It allows you to shop the way you're supposed to be! The sellers on here are throwing a huge hissy fit and gave this great app a poor rating. Years of shopping online and noticing Amazon's quality is descending is why I found this service. I think fakespot is useful for outing sellers and their schemey ways but I prefer to use other review apps like meta-review because the app tells you exactly why these ...

Use to be accurate

Use to be accurate, but for some reason a product going from A to F and the only difference is that it received new reviews. Be careful.Edit:We found out the cause fo the issue! When it comes to multi ASIN products when split from the parent it shows split reviews as being altered and lowering the grade incorrectly.Trying to reach out as I think a lot of people may have this issue.

I don’t appreciate what appears to be a…

I don’t appreciate what appears to be a heavily biased business model this website appears to be operating on. It appears they make their minds up about products from the get-go and seek out negative reviews to confirm that bias whilst ignoring other, more positive reviews. This is the opposite of what should happen, and is reflected in the extreme disparity between average reviews on this site vs the majority of other sites.

No wonder sellers hate this app

Sellers hate this app and it's easy to see why: As a long time Amazon purchaser, it became quite evident a while back that many, many of the four and five star ratings and reviews, for many, many products on Amazon, were fake. I did my own investigation of them, and found that for all the four/five star ratings/reviews: 1. many had nothing to do with the product. 2. many were not from verified purchasers. 3. many made no sense, or were simply worded "great product", "good product", etc. 4. ...

very unreliable for reviews

If anything it's fakespot that's got the lowest reviews and is worthless so don't use it and make your own mind up about a product

Looking forward to the class action lawsuit

I have two products on Amazon, both have entirely legitimate reviews - there are only about 100 reviews between both of them. Fakespot gave the first product a D, it had 3.5 stars on Amazon. The second product (which was an improved version of the first product) had 4.5 stars and fakespot gave it an F. The only thing they seem to base their analysis on is how many bad reviews it gets - the more negative reviews an item gets, the higher they rank it. ReviewMeta seems to be much more accurate ...

Terrible company with very unreliable…

Terrible company with very unreliable ratings, they never reply to any emails and you can't find any information on who actually runs the company - gave our listings poor grading when we have never asked for reviews or paid for them. Repeatedly asked for them to be looked at but never got any response from the company - I think it's outrageous that they can hide behind their website and not respond to their appalling software damaging legitimate companies selling on Amazon.

I used to rely on Fakespot

I used to rely on Fakespot. But seeing fakespot giving poor ratings of good reviews of products I think are great has me no longer trusting them. And I have ordered products for my dogs on Amazon that had so many reviews saying dogs love it. Fakespot gave the reviews high marks. And then my dogs hated the products.
