What Fakespot Did

Fakespot was a popular tool that analyzed Amazon product reviews and assigned letter grades (A–F) based on review authenticity. Mozilla acquired Fakespot in 2023 and shut down the standalone service on July 1, 2025. Chrome users who relied on Fakespot for review checking were left without a replacement.

What STG Does Differently

Trust Score (0–100)

Instead of a single letter grade, STG provides a numerical Trust Score with a breakdown of each contributing factor — review patterns, seller trust, and price history.

Seller Analysis

Seller trust is a core part of the risk assessment, not just reviews. STG checks whether the seller is the brand owner or a reseller, and how long they have been active.

Price History

STG includes price history tracking to verify whether the current price is actually a good deal or based on an inflated reference price.

AI Review Summary

STG's AI reads reviews and highlights fraud risks and anomalies in plain language — giving you actionable insights without reading hundreds of reviews.

Privacy-First

No personal data collection, no browsing tracking. STG does not collect or share personal user data.

One-Click Analysis

STG is a Chrome extension that works directly on Amazon product pages. Click the icon to run a full analysis — no need to copy-paste URLs to a separate website.

Limitations

STG does not guarantee that any review is fake or genuine. The Trust Score is a risk assessment based on publicly available signals, not a definitive verdict. STG is not affiliated with Amazon, Fakespot, or Mozilla. The analysis is a decision-support tool to help you shop more carefully.
