John D. — ★★★★★

Maria Ratings is fantastic! We migrated off a paid Trustpilot plan and now host our own reviews completely for free. It embeds in seconds and loads instantly.

Sarah K. — ★★★★★

I love the JSON file storage option. Zero database setup needed, just upload the PHP files and paste the script onto the site. Brilliant!

Built-in rate limiting and blocked word filters saved us from spam bots immediately. The design is sleek, lightweight, and customizable.
