I don't get the feeling ReviewMeta is very sophisticated. FakeSpot and ReviewMeta often contradict each other. I often spend time on both sites and then realise that either all the candidate products are not great, or I've wasted time gaining little confidence and should just pick one.
- FakespotCom 7y agoFakespot CTO here. That's a good observation. Our engines utilize NLP heavily conjoined with proprietary ML models to detect influenced reviews that basic statistical analysis will never (or with low levels of success) be able to infer from review data sets, unless there are very basic signals such as 100 5-star reviews posted in an hour. Fake review authors and providers are increasingly becoming sophisticated to bypass various filters in place on Amazon and other websites so you need to be able to leverage SOTA analysis to detect them. We also don't reveal how we detect certain fake reviews due to the fact that they will use that information to their advantage to further exploit our system, which allows us to be a couple steps ahead. Anyone interested to know more about this topic feel free to email me at saoud@fakespot.com.
- tasubotadas 7y agoIt would be awesome if you could support amazon.de

- FakespotCom 7y agoWe'd love to add support for German. We'd need a lot of retraining of our models to support the language however, it is in our road map!
- ReviewMeta 7y agoReviewMeta supports all Amazon sites including Amazon.de
- ReviewMeta 7y agoKeep in mind that both sites are estimates - there's absolutely no way to determine which reviews are "fake" with 100% accuracy. The difference with ReviewMeta is that you can actually see the numbers behind our calculation and even open the hood and turn the knobs yourself.
