Alternatives

Looking for an Elfsight alternative? Start here

Elfsight is a good fit if you want a widget library and a testimonial slider on your site in minutes, for a few dollars a month. The slider shows testimonials you type in. Testimonials in Privatus Analytics also collects them, from forms, requests and imports, and keeps them in an inbox.

Checked on October 12, 2026 against Elfsight's own public pages. What they offer may have changed since.

The Testimonials inbox of a shop, with filters for status, rating and tags on the left, a search box, and testimonial cards with star ratings and a highlighted sentence.

Where Elfsight may suit you better

Things Elfsight does that Testimonials in Privatus Analytics does not do the same way. If one of these matters most to you, choose Elfsight.

  • A very low entry price and a free plan, with a slider live on a small site for $0 or $5 a month [2]
  • One embed line that the homepage says works on 113 website platforms, and a large library of other widgets from the same account [1]
  • Plain limits, a number of views and a number of widgets, with no cap on testimonials you type in [2]

How Testimonials in Privatus Analytics differs from Elfsight

  • You can see what a testimonial did. Privatus Analytics is also your site's analytics, so a goal, a funnel or an experiment on the same page shows it.
  • One price covers both. Paid plans start at $9 a month, tax included, and that is the whole of Privatus Analytics.
  • You can start with everything you have. Imports never count toward your month, and the free plan's 5 new testimonials are counted fresh each month.
  • Forms, widgets and walls are not metered. Views are never billed.
  • A second brand costs nothing extra. Each brand is a site, with 3 sites on Free and as many as you need on paid plans.
  • No kind word is lost. One that arrives over your monthly number waits for you, a deleted one stays in the trash for 30 days, and every edit keeps a history.
  • Your visitors are left alone. Widgets, walls and forms set no cookies on their devices.

Fewer limits

Collect and share without counting

Elfsight prices each widget by monthly views and each app on its own plan. Here views are never billed, and widgets, walls and forms are not metered.

  • As many forms, widgets and walls as you want on every plan, and views are never billed.
  • 5 new testimonials a month on Free, 1,000 on Pro and 10,000 on Business. Imports never count.
  • A testimonial over your monthly number is kept in full and waits for the next month or an upgrade. Widgets keep showing.
The form builder, with the steps Welcome, Rating, Questions, About you, Consent and Thank you, the form's link and the answers it accepts as text, video and audio.
Triage showing one pending five-star testimonial in large type, with buttons to reject, skip, approve, tag and add to a collection, each with its keyboard shortcut.

Management made easy

One inbox for everything people said

Every testimonial from a form, an import, a request, the API or your own hands lands in one inbox. Triage them one at a time, or search, filter and act on many at once.

  • Tags, saved views and collections on every plan, with bulk actions you can undo.
  • A consent record, a verified mark and a history of every edit on each testimonial.
  • A trash that keeps a deleted testimonial for 30 days, and a spreadsheet export on every plan.

Bring them from anywhere

Import what people already said about you

Pull reviews in from 12 review platforms, from any web page and from a spreadsheet. Imports never count toward your month, and a migration from another tool is a spreadsheet away.

Share them everywhere

Widgets, walls and pictures

Show your best testimonials on your own site with a widget, on a hosted Wall of Love, or as a picture for social posts and emails.

  • 9 widget layouts and 3 wall layouts, with a loader of about 3.0 KB that sets no cookies.
  • 7 picture templates in 8 sizes, made from any approved testimonial.
  • Rich snippets markup on Business, so a page can be eligible for star ratings in search results.

Advanced settings

  • A brand kit on every plan, and custom CSS on Business.
  • Tag rules and smart collections that apply themselves, on Business.
  • Your own domain and translation into 16 languages, both on Business.
