Tagembed and Zyff
Tagembed's plans are sized by feeds — a feed being a stream of posts or reviews from one or more sources — and by monthly views. Zyff's are sized by saved widgets and monthly views, across 31 widget types, most of which have no source at all.
The figures below come from tagembed.com/price, read on the date at the top. Tagembed's WordPress.org and Shopify listings describe its free plan with different numbers, so if one figure decides it for you, check the listing you will actually install from.
The free plans
Tagembed's free plan is one feed, 300 views a month and 100 posts, updated manually once a day, on unlimited websites, with Tagembed branding on the widget. Its sources on the free plan are Instagram and Facebook pages, and Google, Facebook, Yelp and Amazon reviews.
Zyff's free plan is 1 saved widget and 200 views a month, reset on the 1st (UTC), on unlimited websites, with a small attribution link. A Google reviews widget collects up to 200 reviews and shows up to 50.
Tagembed's free plan allows more views. Zyff's shows more reviews from one business. Both refresh only when you act on the free plan.
Paid plans, side by side
Tagembed's pricing page opens on yearly billing. The table gives both periods, and beside each tier the cheapest Zyff tier with at least as many monthly views.
| Tagembed tier | Price | Allowance | Views / month | Cheapest Zyff tier with as many views |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $19, monthly only | 2 feeds | 10,000 | Pro: $6, 50,000 views, 9 widgets |
| Growth | $39 ($29 billed yearly) | 4 feeds | 50,000 | Pro: $6, 50,000 views, 9 widgets |
| Advanced | $99 ($79 billed yearly) | 10 feeds | 1,000,000 | Enterprise T3: $36, 1,200,000 views, 200 widgets |
What Tagembed does that Zyff does not
Tagembed's paid tiers add features Zyff does not have at any price:
- All its review sources and 15+ social platforms from Starter, including TripAdvisor, Airbnb, Booking.com, Etsy, TikTok, YouTube and Threads
- Review collection by form and QR code, and moderation with an Auto Pilot mode, from Starter
- Shoppable galleries synced with Shopify, WooCommerce and other store platforms, from Growth
- AI moderation and sentiment analysis on Advanced, and an API and white label on Enterprise
What Zyff does that Tagembed does not
Zyff builds widgets with no feed behind them — FAQs, countdowns, opening hours, menus, pricing tables, popups and a cookie banner among its 31 types — and counts them under the same saved-widget allowance as its reviews and social widgets.
Its price at a given traffic level is the other difference. A site that needs one reviews widget and gets a few thousand visits a month pays less on Zyff at every tier in the table above.
When Tagembed is the better choice
- You need sources Zyff does not connect to: TripAdvisor, Airbnb, Booking.com, Amazon, TikTok, YouTube and more.
- You want to collect reviews as well as display them, or moderate a social feed before it appears.
- You run a store and want shoppable galleries synced with your catalogue.
- You want the most free views between the two: Tagembed allows 300 to Zyff's 200.
When Zyff is the better choice
- You want a paid plan on a small budget: Zyff's Pro covers 50,000 views for $6 a month, where Tagembed Growth costs $29 billed yearly.
- You want a Google reviews widget that shows up to 50 reviews, from up to 200 collected.
- You need widgets with no feed behind them alongside your reviews.
- You want monthly billing on every tier, with nothing to commit to for a year.
