With WordPress rating plugins, you are able to provide a system by which visitors can review and rate products, posts and comments on your WordPress website. Instead of just reading the contents of the site, visitors will be able to evaluate and provide valuable feedback, not only to the website owners, but also to other users of the site. Plugins are excellent for adding new features to an existing website, but if you are planning a new one it is also worth considering WordPress review themes.
Here in this article, we are sharing with you some of the best WordPress rating plugins that you can use to integrate review and rating functionality into your website. Most of the plugins I have selected are free to use, but I have also included a few premium items to help you build top notch content rating websites. Check if any of them are appropriate for your needs and give us feedback. You are also welcome to suggest other rating WordPress plugins that we have not mentioned in this post.

How old are these plugins? Some of the graphics seem a little out dated. Do you know of any free WP plugins for a simple star review system? Preferably one you don’t have to pay for…
Hi
Most of these plugins are free and recently updated, just go ahead and find one.
Kind regards

I found this list to be helpful but I don’t know if these will do what I’m looking for. I have a restaurant directory and am looking for a rating/review plugin that when they submit their review, it has the capability to redirect them to maybe a page where they can get a coupon for leaving a review. Any suggestions?
Thanks again for the nice list of suggestions.
Cool collection, I used GD star rating before on my client website. Works like charm!
Thanks for sharing such beautiful collection of plugins. I own a blog and I was thinking to add some plugin to know about visitors feedback clearly and from above the WP Polls, I found the best for visitors as well as me.
Thanks Sonny
Howdy would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re using? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must say this blog
loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend
a good web hosting provider at a honest price?
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Hi Arnold,
we use Wiredtree, they are not cheap but their support makes them to the best hosting in my opinion. Also if you have many images it is recommended to use a content delivery network
Best regards,
Sofie
