Can Eevy AI import reviews from AliExpress?

Eevy AI supports CSV imports from any source, including AliExpress. The process requires exporting reviews as a CSV first, rather than Opinew one-click direct import. For stores that import once and then focus on collecting organic reviews, this difference is minimal.

Is Opinew better for new dropshipping stores?

For the initial review import phase, Opinew one-click AliExpress import is faster. But once you have reviews and real traffic, Eevy AI genetic algorithm and RPV tracking will generate more value from those same reviews over time.

Can I switch from Opinew to Eevy AI without losing reviews?

Yes. Export your Opinew reviews as a CSV and import them into Eevy AI. All review data — ratings, text, customer names, photos — is preserved.

Does Eevy AI work for dropshipping stores?

Absolutely. Eevy AI works for any Shopify store regardless of business model. The genetic algorithm optimizes review layouts based on your actual traffic and conversion data, which is valuable for dropshipping stores as much as any other.

Which has better review display options?

Eevy AI has significantly more display options with 22+ section types compared to Opinew ~6 widgets. More importantly, Eevy AI tests these layouts against each other automatically to find what converts best.

Where Opinew Still Wins

Opinew

One-click imports from AliExpress and Amazon

Opinew native integration with AliExpress and Amazon makes importing reviews incredibly easy for dropshipping stores and stores launching new products. You can pull in hundreds of reviews in minutes without dealing with CSV files.

Opinew

Established and battle-tested for dropshipping

Opinew has years of experience serving the dropshipping market specifically. Their import workflows, review filtering, and display options are well-tuned for stores that rely heavily on imported reviews to build initial social proof.

Why Stores Switch from Opinew to Eevy AI

Importing reviews is step one, not the whole strategy

Opinew built its reputation on easy review imports from AliExpress and Amazon. That is genuinely useful for getting started. But once the reviews are on your store, Opinew just displays them in a static widget. Eevy AI takes those imported reviews and continuously optimizes how they are displayed to maximize conversions.

More section types, more testing, more revenue

Opinew offers around 6 widget styles. Eevy AI offers 22+ section types — carousels, sliders, grids, story bubbles, video sections, keyword reviews, highlighted reviews — and tests them all automatically. The genetic algorithm finds the combination that works best for your specific traffic.

AI summaries and UGC video are the future

Shoppers increasingly expect AI-generated review summaries and video content. Eevy AI offers both as core features. AI summaries give shoppers a quick overview of what reviewers say, while UGC video sections let customers share authentic video reviews and try-on content.

Opinew nails the import — and stops doing useful work right after

Opinew built its reputation on import capability. Bulk pulls from AliExpress, Amazon, and eBay genuinely save weeks of manual work for stores launching new SKUs. For dropshippers needing social proof on product pages quickly, Opinew solved the empty-page problem competently for years.

The problem is what happens after the reviews land. Opinew treats import as the destination. The admin still feels dated, the widgets look like the previous era of Shopify, and — critically — there is no testing of how imported reviews actually perform. You pull hundreds of reviews onto a product page, then show them in a generic widget with no signal on whether that arrangement converts.

Eevy AI is the layer Opinew never built. Imports happen, then a genetic algorithm continuously evolves how those reviews display, tied to real Shopify revenue-per-visitor data. Stores migrating from Opinew typically import their review corpus, install Eevy, and see measurable lift on the same product pages within weeks — same reviews, dramatically better presentation, measured against orders rather than guessed at.
