Spot fake Amazon reviews.
Just paste the URL.

We estimate how trustworthy a product's reviews are — from the structure of the reviews (star distribution, number of ratings, verified-purchase share, posting bursts), not their text. We surface only the products that pass, with the reasoning shown. Fakespot and ReviewMeta shut down in 2025 — this fills that gap.

First check takes a few seconds

Works with amazon.com product URLs — short share links from the Amazon app (a.co, amzn.to) work too. We never store or republish review text — only public aggregate data is analyzed.

A free Fakespot & ReviewMeta replacement

Fakespot was shut down by Mozilla on July 1, 2025, and ReviewMeta has gone offline — leaving shoppers without a free way to vet Amazon reviews. Ryohin Checker fills that gap. It uses only public review data. It installs nothing. It tracks nothing. No account, no extension.

Honest limitation: structural signals estimate risk from the rating spread, verified-purchase share, and posting pattern — they don't read review text, so treat the score as a flag, not a verdict.

What is a fake review?

Fake (or incentivized) reviews are positive ratings written in exchange for money or free product. Even items showing ★4.5+ can hide poor quality. The tell-tale signs show up in the structure of the reviews, not their wording.

Spot fakes from three structural signals
  • Star distribution: a wall of 5-stars, or a 5★/1★ split with little in between, is a red flag.
  • Verified-purchase share: lots of unverified reviews can mean incentivized ratings.
  • Posting bursts: many reviews on the same day suggest a review campaign.

Ryohin Checker scores these automatically and shows only the products that clear the bar, with the reasoning. How it works →   How to spot fake reviews →

FAQ

Q. What is Ryohin Checker?

A free tool that estimates how trustworthy an Amazon product's reviews are from structural data — star distribution, number of ratings, verified-purchase share, and posting-date clustering — and surfaces only genuinely good products, with the reasoning shown.

Q. How do you detect fake reviews?

We look at the structure of the reviews, not their text: an extreme concentration of 5-star ratings, a bimodal split, a low verified-purchase share, and reviews clustered on a single day are common signs of manipulation.

Q. Is the verdict accurate?

It is an estimate from public structural data and does not guarantee authenticity. Mistakes are possible, so make the final purchasing decision yourself.

Q. Is this a replacement for Fakespot or ReviewMeta?

Both shut down in 2025. Ryohin Checker offers a similar structural approach, with the difference that it only recommends products that pass — it does not disparage the rest.
