Sorted by who wrote them, the 14 reviews split like this. The sides come from what each review describes.
Who wrote it | Reviews | Dates |
|---|---|---|
Brands | 4 | September 2017, October 2018, April 2022, August 2024 |
Influencers, negative | 5 | November 2018, March 2019, October 2020, August 2021, May 2022 |
Influencers, positive | 2 | September 2017, June 2022 |
Side unclear | 1 | December 2016 |
Mostly off topic | 2 | January 2016, September 2021 |
The January 2016 review is about a sock and mentions a Tomoson discount. The September 2021 post calls the site a scam at the start and then spends the rest promoting the writer's own social accounts.
SmartCustomer shows 2.5 out of 5. Its star split is 3 reviews at 5 stars, 3 at 2 stars, and 8 at 1 star. The math from those counts:
3 reviews at 5 stars give 15 points.
3 reviews at 2 stars give 6 points.
8 reviews at 1 star give 8 points.
15 plus 6 plus 8 is 29 points.
29 points across 14 reviews is about 2.1.
The page shows 2.5, and the counts on it give about 2.1. Fourteen reviews from 2016 to 2024 is a small group, and the page shows nothing after August 2024.
What brands report, set beside Tomoson's Terms and prices
The 4 brand reviews each describe a different problem. The table sets each one beside what Tomoson's own Terms and Brand FAQ say.
Date | What the brand says | What Tomoson's pages say |
|---|---|---|
September 2017 | Support advised a coupon setup that could let one buyer take unlimited free items, and the account was then closed. | Tomoson may suspend or end an account for any reason. |
October 2018 | Fees are high, and half the tools do not work well. | Plans run from $49 to $599 a month. Prices can change after 30 days' notice. |
April 2022 | Brands pay a subscription, and reviews of influencers are not visible. | Escrow money is released when the brand approves, when it rejects, or 7 days after a task is verified. |
August 2024 | Tomoson disabled an active campaign, did not answer email or chat, and the brand disputed the charges with its card company. | A brand can cancel only through the Update Subscriptions link. Email or phone does not count. The Terms give no refund for partial or unused months. |
Tomoson's pricing page lists 5 plans at monthly prices. It marks Business as Most Popular and offers a 21 Day Free Trial. The Terms cap the trial at 10 promotions, once per business, with no card.
Here is Tomoson's pricing table as of 6 November 2026, with the cost per person hired added.
Plan | Price per month | Active campaigns | People hired a month | Price per person hired at full use | 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Basic | $49 | 1 | 25 | $1.96 | $588 |
Starter | $99 | 10 | 100 | $0.99 | $1,188 |
Business | $199 | 30 | 300 | $0.66 | $2,388 |
Agency | $399 | 100 | 1,000 | $0.40 | $4,788 |
Scale | $599 | 100 | 3,500 | $0.17 | $7,188 |
Take Tomoson's Business plan. It costs $199 a month and allows 300 people to be hired a month. $199 divided by 300 is $0.66 per person hired. Twelve months of Business is $2,388.
Tomoson's Basic plan is the highest per person hired at $1.96, and its Scale plan is the lowest at $0.17. Those prices assume every hire slot is used each month.
A hire does not guarantee a review, because the Influencer FAQ says influencers are not required to review. The brand also pays for the product.
Tomoson's Brand FAQ says Quality Review campaigns must offer the product at no charge and with no shipping charge. Escrow fees apply too, and the Terms list no rate.
Both FAQ pages still say brands use Tomoson to earn $6.50 for every $1 spent. The pages give no source and no date for that figure.
Tomoson reviews from influencers: locked accounts and long waits
The 5 negative influencer reviews run from November 2018 to May 2022. The 2 positive ones, from September 2017 and June 2022, are short, and both say the writer had just joined. Here is what the 5 negative reviews say, as each writer describes it:
November 2018: some brands asked to talk outside Tomoson, asked influencers to pay first and be refunded later, and sent codes that did not work. The writer says reports to Tomoson seemed to change nothing.
March 2019: the account was locked several times because the 14-day deadline passed before the item arrived. The writer says items took 30 to 60 days to arrive, and one bag took 2 months to ship.
October 2020: Tomoson blocked an influencer who could not review a product, instead of helping.
August 2021: customer service was poor and rude.
May 2022: Many brands are Amazon sellers who message influencers offering free products for 5-star reviews, and the link to social accounts keeps dropping.
Tomoson's Terms say a product or coupon code must ship within 24 hours to count as shipped. The Influencer FAQ says the completion clock starts when the product ships or the code is uploaded.
The Brand FAQ says brands should extend the completion time for shipment problems. The Terms show an effective date of 10 January 2018, and the FAQ pages were last changed in March 2025. They cannot show which rules applied in 2019.
The Influencer FAQ lists 8 reasons for a locked account and says all suspensions are final and at Tomoson's discretion. Joining as an influencer is free.
For the May 2022 complaint, the Terms do not permit brands to pay influencers, in money or in free product, for reviews on Amazon.com. SaaSSwitcher's guide to Tomoson Amazon reviews covers that rule in full.
A Tomoson review on a product page: what a shopper can check
Some product reviews online come from influencers who joined a Tomoson campaign. Tomoson's Terms say brands can give reviewers the product free or at a highly discounted rate of 80% or higher.
The Terms tell reviewers to disclose it, and they add one line: "Do not mention Tomoson, but please discuss the product."
A review written through a Tomoson campaign can disclose the free product without naming Tomoson. Look for a line about a free or discounted item, and read the rest of that review with it in mind.
If an AI tool recommends a product to you, check the reviews behind it. SaaSSwitcher's guide on how AI is changing online shopping says shoppers cannot trust every AI recommendation without a check.
