Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We have answers. Everything you need to know about using Rate For All.

Rate For All is a free, open-source business review platform where anyone can share their honest experiences with businesses. Our mission is to help people make informed decisions and avoid scams. Unlike other review platforms, we have no paid placements, no hidden algorithms, and no premium tiers. Every feature is free for everyone, forever.

Yes, completely free — for both reviewers and businesses. There are no premium accounts, no paid features, no subscription plans, and no advertising. Rate For All is built and maintained as a community project because we believe access to trustworthy business information should not cost anything.

Create a free account, find the business you want to review (or add it if it is not listed yet), and share your experience. Rate the business from 1 to 5 stars and write a detailed, honest review. The more specific and factual your review, the more helpful it will be for others.

Absolutely not. No business can pay to have reviews removed, hidden, or pushed down in the results. Reviews are only removed if they violate our Community Guidelines — for example, if they contain hate speech, threats, personal information, or are demonstrably fake. Our moderation process is transparent and applies equally to all businesses.

Business ratings are calculated as a simple, transparent average of all verified user reviews. We do not apply secret weighting algorithms and we do not adjust scores based on any business relationship. What you see is the genuine average of what real people have reported.

If you believe a business is operating fraudulently, leave an honest review describing your experience with specific details. You can also use the Report button on the business listing page to flag it for our moderation team. We take scam reports seriously and investigate every flag.

Yes. You can edit your review at any time to update it. You can also delete your review entirely. We encourage updating reviews rather than deleting them, as an updated review that shows how a business handled a problem is extremely valuable to other users.

We use a combination of email verification, behavioral analysis, and community reporting to detect and remove fake reviews. All reviewers must verify their email address. Patterns that suggest fake activity are flagged automatically. Our community can also report suspicious reviews for human review.
