I built a Chrome extension that responds to Google reviews in 10 seconds — just launched

Hey IH! đź‘‹

I just launched ReviewReact — a Chrome extension that generates AI-powered responses to Google reviews, right inside Google Maps.

The Problem

A friend runs a marketing agency and manages Google reviews for 20+ clients. She was spending 5+ hours every week just writing responses. And the existing tools? $200-500/month.

The Solution

A Chrome extension that:

  • Works directly inside Google Maps (no new dashboard)
  • Generates on-brand responses in one click
  • Custom voice profiles per client/business
  • Takes ~10 seconds instead of 10 minutes

Pricing

  • Starter: $19/mo (100 responses)
  • Growth: $49/mo (500 responses)
  • Agency: $149/mo (5,000 responses)

7-day free trial, no credit card required.

Tech Stack

  • Java/Spring Boot backend
  • OpenAI GPT-4 for generation
  • Chrome Extension (Manifest V3)
  • Stripe for payments
  • Hetzner VPS ($5/mo)

Looking for feedback on:

  1. Does the pricing make sense?
  2. What features would make you upgrade?
  3. Any agencies here who manage client reviews?

Would love honest feedback — roast it if needed! 🔥

    This solves a very real agency pain especially the “in Google Maps, not another dashboard” choice.

    One thought on positioning: agencies I’ve seen care less about speed and more about risk. A bad public reply can cost a client way more than the time saved.

    Have you thought about framing this as “brand-safe review responses” rather than just faster ones? Things like:
    – strict tone guardrails
    – phrases to never use
    – escalation for 1-star / legal-sounding reviews

    On pricing, $19–49 feels very reasonable, I suspect agencies would happily pay more if they trust it won’t embarrass them publicly.
