SociableKit

SociableKit prices per widget: each widget type has its own tiers, from a free tier (with SociableKit branding) up through paid plans. If you run several widget types, the subscriptions stack.

Their exact prices change over time, so we don't quote numbers here — check sociablekit.com for current rates.

The specialist question:per-widget pricing is fair when you need many widget types. But if Google reviews is the only widget you'd run, you're choosing between one widget from a generalist and the whole product from a specialist — moderation, AI summary, rich snippets, 10 widget languages and the Get Found listings kit are all part of what WeWidget's single price buys.

The core trade-off

If you want widgets for many platforms from one vendor, SociableKit is a reasonable choice. If Google reviews are the thing that matters, a specialist goes deeper.

Choose WeWidget if:

→Google reviews is the one thing you need done well
→You want moderation, AI summaries and rich-snippet SEO out of the box
→You want flat pricing with unlimited page views
→You value owner-focused UK support from the person who built it

Choose SociableKit if:

→You need embeds from many different platforms, not just Google
→You want social feeds, videos and reviews from one vendor and dashboard
→You're already using SociableKit widgets elsewhere on your site
→Their free tier (with their branding) covers your needs

Frequently asked questions

Is WeWidget a good SociableKit alternative for Google reviews?

If Google reviews is the specific thing you need, yes — that is the one thing WeWidget does. You get review moderation (pin, hide, minimum-rating filter, hide text-less reviews), an AI review summary, schema.org AggregateRating markup for rich snippets, widget UI in 10 languages, and unlimited page views on every plan. If you need widgets for many different platforms from one vendor, SociableKit's breadth may suit you better.

How does the pricing compare?

WeWidget is a flat £5/mo (Starter), £9/mo (Pro) or £29/mo (Agency), with a 30-day free trial that needs no card, and unlimited page views on every plan. SociableKit's pricing is per-widget — each widget type has its own tiers, so costs depend on how many widgets you run. Their exact prices change over time, so check sociablekit.com for current rates.

Does SociableKit have a free plan?

Yes — SociableKit offers a free tier that includes their branding on the widget. WeWidget's free option is different in shape: a free-forever Google rating badge showing your real star rating and review count, with no card required. Full review widgets need a paid plan, which you can try free for 30 days without a card.

Do I need a Google API key or Google login with WeWidget?

No. You connect by searching for your business name — no Google login, no API key, no Google Cloud account. Setup takes under a minute, and reviews then sync automatically every day.

Will either widget slow my website down?

Any third-party embed adds some weight. WeWidget is a single vanilla-JavaScript file — under 20 KB gzipped — that lazy-loads only when scrolled into view and renders inside Shadow DOM so it cannot clash with your site's styles. SociableKit widgets load from their servers; performance will depend on the specific widget and your page.
