Real reviews from Reddit & YouTube when shopping online

The 5-star system is broken. Honestly is a Chrome extension that finds and verifies real product opinions from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube & Instagram directly on product pages. No ads, sponsorships, nor AI. Just reviews you can trust.
I think you should try to do a more elaborate platform built in your website just like https://reppit.ai for example, currently it look more like a Service Agency website than a chrome extension tool it's a little bit weird.

@vesper_city Great point, we are creating a site that caters to both Chrome extension users as well as Shopify stores since we are currently developing a Shopify app as well. The goal is to allow both the average shopper and brands bring transparent reviews from social media into the shopping experience. That's helpful feedback as we continue to improve our site!
Honestly
@vesper_city 100%, might even make a separate landing page for the consumer chrome extension to reduce confusion.

How this tool can identify the "realness"? What are the parameters for identifying what is justified review?
Honestly
@busmark_w_nika We do our best to filter our any posts that have sponsored content in them, AI generated content, and/or fake content. There are many people who review farm and those are easy to spot, and our sponsored content detection is getting better as we build larger datasets and have better transcription on videos.
There will absolutely be content that makes it through our filters, maybe we can add a "report as sponsored/fake" button on each review card.
What do you think of us not hiding all this content, but rather tagging it properly and allowing you to filter it?
How do you decide which real reviews from Reddit or TikTok to prioritize or filter first; like recent ones, most upvoted, or from verified buyers, to cut through noise fastest?
Honestly
@swati_paliwal Right now we have an internal algorithm that determines content authority using the likes, comments, creator and more variables. This is only getting better with time!
What we want to eventually get to is not creating one ranking for all, but rather having "good for X / bad for Y" style ranking. For example, if you're a runner in Finland, you're looking at this shoe for a different reason than a runner in LA. What might matter is a review that speaks about the waterproofing, the durability in cold weather, etc..
People already check Reddit or YouTube before buying. The part I’m curious about is what happens right after install. Right now the value depends on the user remembering to click and check. If that first moment isn’t obvious, a lot of people might install it and never actually use it enough to feel the benefit.

@arun_tamang 100%. We're currently a floating widget on product pages and we're working on making it easier to 'spot' as some people who download the extension tell us they can't find it. We'll push an update to this as soon as we get more data on what works best.
@honestly How're you thinking about the moment when someone actually decides to check it? Is it something you’re trying to trigger based on behavior or relying on the user to remember it?
Reddit and YouTube reviews are genuinely the most useful signal when buying something. Sponsored content is noise but someone spending 20 minutes testing a product on YouTube usually catches the real issues. Does it pull the actual text/timestamps or just surface the video links?
Honestly
@mykola_kondratiuk 100% agree. These days online shoppers trust a stranger on Reddit or YouTube much more than any review a brand's review site or on platforms like Trustpilot. In terms of how we pull the videos in, we retrieve the actual comment, post, or video so that it can be viewed on the page. Specifically for the videos, we also have time stamps attached to parts of the transcript relevant to the product being reviewed.
This way, the shopper never needs to leave the website!

Hey Product Hunt 👋, I’m Paolo, CEO & Co-founder of Honestly.
THE PROBLEM
Online shopping is broken. Not because there aren’t enough reviews, but because you can’t trust them.
Why today’s review system needs fixing:
❌ Fake & incentivized reviews: Over 30% of all online reviews are fake and ads are everywhere. This will only get worse as AI gets more unrecognizable.
❌ Time wasted finding real opinions: The takes that matter live in social media, so to get there, the average shopper spends 30 minutes buried in tabs just to find something useful.
After experiencing this frustration over and over ourselves, we decided to fix it.
WHAT HONESTLY DOES
Honestly brings real, verified opinions directly onto product pages where they belong.
Instead of relying on a suspicious 5-stars, we surface what real people are already saying elsewhere.
✅ Instant real reviews: Pulls genuine opinions from Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube real time.
✅ Automatically verified: No bots, no AI summaries, no paid ads. Just authentic human voices.
✅ No more tab suffocation: Now that everything is in one place, no need for jumping between Google, Reddit, YouTube, and other social platforms.
✅ Clear buying signals – See what people actually love & hate before you spend your money.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
If you shop online and want to make better decisions without wasting time or getting tricked by fake reviews, Honestly was made for you.
