The problem
AliExpress ratings are almost all 4.7
When nearly every listing looks excellent, the rating stops carrying information. The signal that actually separates a good buy from a bad one is buried: how many reviews back that rating, how many of them are negative, and whether the store behind it has any history at all.
A perfect rating means nothing on its own
5.0 from six reviews and 4.6 from four thousand look almost identical in the listing — and are not remotely the same bet.
The seller is the risk you cannot see
Product quality and store reliability are separate questions. AliExpress shows you the store name and buries the rest.
Nobody reads 500 reviews
The complaints that matter are on page seven, in three languages, under photos of a different colourway.
Try it without installing
Move the sliders. Watch the score move.
This runs the extension's real scoring code, not a mock-up of it. Give it a listing and it answers exactly as it would on AliExpress — including refusing to be impressed by five stars from six reviews.

No warning signs
Nothing in this listing trips a threshold the score penalises.
This panel runs the extension's actual scoring code — the same calculateScore() that ships in version 1.1.1. Move a slider and you see exactly what a real listing with those numbers would score.
What it does
Six things you see while you shop
Track product ratings — one 0–10 score
The moment a product page loads, a pill shows how good the item actually is, with a plain-English verdict: Safe to buy, Worth considering, Buy with care, or Risky.
Check seller trust
Store positive-feedback rate and follower base become a 0–10 trust score on a deliberately strict scale, because almost every AliExpress store claims 90%+.
Analyze reviews
A positive-versus-negative split, the five-star share, what buyers repeatedly praised, and how many reviews came with real photos — instead of scrolling five hundred comments yourself.
Breakdown and warning signs
Quality, Sentiment, Review volume and Value each get their own bar, and anything that dragged the score down — thin reviews, complaints, a weak store, poor value — is named.
Badges on every listing page
Search results, homepage deals, bundle, wholesale and category pages get a badge per card. An outline is an estimate from the card; hover or click it and it verifies against the review data.
Best Deals row on search
On a search page, the five highest-scoring listings on screen are pulled into one row at the top, so the comparison is done before you scroll.

How it works
Four steps, and three of them are "shop normally"
- 1
Install it
One click from the store. No account, no signup, no configuration screen to get through.
- 2
Shop as usual
Open AliExpress the way you always do. The extension only ever runs on AliExpress domains.
- 3
Read the score
A pill appears on every product page — tap it for the full insights card. On listing pages, hover or click a badge to verify it.
- 4
Buy with confidence
Or do not — a low score that saves you one bad order has already paid for itself.
For dropshippers
Supplier vetting, on the listing page
Sourcing is a trust problem before it is a margin problem. A supplier with thin history and rising negative sentiment produces refunds, chargebacks and one-star reviews on your store — months after you picked them.
- ✓Compare candidate products by score instead of by gut feel.
- ✓Check store trust before you commit to a supplier relationship.
- ✓Spot listings whose rating is propped up by a handful of reviews.
- ✓Read sentiment for the complaints that will become your support tickets.

Questions
The things people ask first
Is it free?
Yes. There is no paid tier, no trial and no account. The extension is funded by the AliExpress affiliate program, which is disclosed in the listing, in the privacy policy and on this site.
Where does the data come from?
Two places, both public: what is already visible on the page you opened, and AliExpress's public product-review statistics endpoint. The score itself is computed in your browser.
Does it collect my personal data?
No account is required. The privacy policy explains product analysis requests, affiliate links, purchase statistics and the data used by the website. Read it for the full details and available controls.
Why is a 5-star product sometimes scored low?
Because five stars from six reviews is not evidence. Below ten reviews the score is dampened on purpose, and the panel tells you that is what happened.
Why did the product page reload once?
Because you pressed "Allow" on the affiliate dialog. The extension is free and funded by the AliExpress affiliate program; with your permission it re-opens a product page once through our affiliate link so the commission is credited. It never does this on cart, checkout or order pages, the price never changes, and the switch is in the extension popup.
Which browsers does it support?
Install the Chrome build from the Chrome Web Store. It also works in compatible Chromium browsers such as Edge, Brave and Opera. A Firefox store link is not available here yet.
Does it work for dropshipping product research?
That is one of the main ways people use it. Seller trust plus review sentiment is exactly the supplier-vetting question, answered on the listing page instead of in a spreadsheet.
