From ASIN to reviews in three simple steps

No begging for reviews. No swapping. No wasted hours in review-exchange groups.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know before you list your book.

Yes. Reviews are optional by design and readers disclose that they received a copy. We never pay for a specific rating or a guaranteed review, which keeps you on the right side of Amazon's review policies.

You set a per-review bid starting at $6. Most authors find $6–$7 competitive. You're only charged when a real, completed review is delivered — no subscription, no setup fees, no hidden costs.

No — and that's the point. Readers write honest opinions, which could be any star rating. Honest reviews are far more credible to future buyers than a wall of suspicious 5-star ratings.

Readers must submit proof they actually finished the book. We vet reviewers and monitor for low-effort, templated, or AI-generated content. Quality and authenticity are our core promise.

Most campaigns see their first reviews within a few days. Turnaround depends on your genre, bid, and reader availability — all visible in your dashboard in real time.

Real, vetted book lovers who choose titles based on genuine interest. They're compensated for reading and providing feedback, not for writing a positive review.
