Free Customer Testimonial Widget for Any Website
Add beautiful, responsive customer testimonials to your site in under 2 minutes. No coding, no monthly fees, no BS.
Customer testimonials are the most powerful conversion tool on your website. 92% of consumers read online reviews before buying, and displaying social proof on your site can increase conversions by up to 34%.
But most testimonial widget tools are either overpriced, ugly, or require a developer to set up. Praised changes that.
TL;DR: Praised is a free testimonial widget that lets you collect, manage, and embed customer testimonials on any website with one line of code. Grid, carousel, and marquee layouts. Dark mode. Responsive. Free forever plan.
Why You Need a Testimonial Widget
A testimonial widget is an embeddable component that displays customer reviews directly on your website. Unlike screenshots or manually coded quotes, a widget:
- Stays up to date — new testimonials appear automatically
- Looks professional — consistent design that matches your brand
- Saves time — no manual HTML/CSS updates
- Builds trust — real names, photos, star ratings
- Boosts SEO — fresh, keyword-rich user-generated content
How Praised's Testimonial Widget Works
Getting testimonials on your website takes three steps:
Step 1: Create a Free Account
Sign up at praised.dev — takes 10 seconds. No credit card. No trial that expires.
Step 2: Collect Testimonials
Praised gives you a branded collection page you can share with customers. They fill out a simple form with their name, role, star rating, and testimonial. You can also import existing testimonials or send request emails directly from the dashboard.
Step 3: Embed the Widget
Copy one line of code and paste it into your website:
<iframe src="https://praised.dev/embed/your-project"
style="width:100%;border:none;min-height:400px"></iframe>That's it. The widget automatically loads your approved testimonials, adapts to light/dark mode, and resizes to fit.
Three Layout Options
Grid
Masonry-style grid. Perfect for walls of love.
Carousel
Auto-advancing slider with swipe support.
Marquee
Smooth scrolling ticker. Eye-catching and modern.
The Grid layout is available on all plans. Carousel and Marquee are available on Pro ($19/mo) and Business ($49/mo) plans.

Is Praised really free?
Yes. The free plan includes 1 project, 5 testimonials, a collection page, and the grid embed widget. No credit card required, no trial period.
Can I remove the "Powered by Praised" badge?
Yes — upgrade to Pro ($19/mo) or Business ($49/mo) to remove branding. You also get unlimited testimonials, carousel/marquee layouts, and more.
Does it slow down my website?
No. The widget loads in an iframe and doesn't affect your page's performance or SEO. It's lightweight (under 5KB) and lazy-loads automatically.
Can I customize the design?
You can set your brand color, choose light/dark theme, and pick from grid, carousel, or marquee layouts. The widget is designed to look great by default on any site.
How do I collect testimonials from customers?
Praised gives you a branded collection page (e.g., praised.dev/collect/your-project). Share the link via email, in your app, or use the built-in email request feature to ask customers directly.
