ReviewSleuth

ReviewSleuth is a mobile + web app that helps shoppers judge whether product reviews are trustworthy across major marketplaces. Paste a product URL (or use a browser extension) and get a “trust score” based on review patterns: suspicious timing spikes, repetitive phrasing, reviewer overlap, verified-purchase ratios, and rating distribution anomalies. It also summarizes the most consistent pros/cons and highlights what real buyers mention repeatedly versus one-off hype. The app doesn’t pretend to be perfect: it shows the evidence behind the score and lets users filter reviews by credibility signals rather than just star rating. A lightweight community layer lets users flag obvious shilling and upvote helpful analysis, improving the model over time. Monetization is a freemium model: free trust checks with limits, paid tier for unlimited scans, price-drop alerts tied to trustworthy products, and a “brand integrity” dashboard for small merchants who want to monitor suspicious review attacks.
