OneTimeShow the five stars you already earned, on your own site.
Trustpilot Business is $199+ a month, forever, to display the reviews you already earned. Star Stack is $29 once. Aggregate your Google, Facebook, and manually-imported reviews into one embeddable, themeable widget — with moderation, featured pins, and an aggregate star badge, from one Node process and one SQLite file. Your reviews are not a subscription.
Star Stack in 60 seconds
Everything in the box
Self-hosted widget aggregating Google, Facebook and CSV reviews with moderation and a star badge.
Multiple sources
Google Business Profile, Facebook Page reviews, and manual or CSV import for everything else.
BYO API keys
You plug in your own free-tier Google and Facebook credentials, so there is no proxy service to bill you monthly.
Moderation first
Synced and imported reviews arrive hidden — approve, hide or feature from the dashboard, so nothing goes public without your click.
Embeddable widget
One script tag, shadow-DOM isolated, in grid or carousel with light, dark or auto theme and a custom accent color.
XSS-safe by construction
Review text renders as text nodes only; the widget never assigns innerHTML.
Aggregate star badge
Average and count in the widget header, plus a badge.json endpoint for custom integrations.
Filters
Minimum rating and per-source, set in the saved config or per-page via data attributes.
Auto-refresh
Scheduled re-pull of Google and Facebook sources, every 6 hours by default, so the widget stays current.

Subscriptions if you want them — but the whole point is the lifetime tier.
Up and running in three steps
Buy once on Whop
One payment of $29 gets you the packaged Windows installer, or clone the MIT source and deploy it yourself for free.
Connect your reviews
Paste your own Google and Facebook API keys and bulk-import the rest via CSV, then moderate what goes public.
Embed the widget
Drop one shadow-DOM-isolated script tag on your site and pick grid or carousel with your accent color.
Fair questions
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — the source is MIT, forever, at github.com/bensblueprints/review-aggregator-widget-mvp. The $29 buys a packaged Windows installer with updates; building from source is free.
Where does my review data live?
On your server. Star Stack is one Node process and one SQLite file, and because you bring your own free-tier API keys there is no proxy service to bill you monthly.
Does it replace Trustpilot?
No. Trustpilot sells a review platform with invitations, TrustBoxes and an SEO snippet network. If you just need the five stars you already earned displayed on your homepage, that is Star Stack.
