A Rate My Post alternative for reader feedback
Rate My Post adds star ratings to WordPress posts. Asklet asks readers short questions on each page and stores no cookies or IP addresses.
Rate My Post, by FeedbackWP, is a star rating plugin for WordPress posts and pages. Readers rate a post, the average can show above the content, and a low rating can open a box for private feedback. It can also add structured data for rating rich results.
A rating tells you how a post scored but not why. Asklet asks the question you choose, such as a yes/no, a rating, a multiple choice or a comment, and groups the answers by page. It sets no cookies, stores no IP addresses and runs nothing on your server.

Common questions
What is a good Rate My Post alternative?
If you want reasons as well as scores, Asklet asks readers short questions on each page, including free text, and shows the answers per page. If you only want another star rating plugin, kk Star Ratings also adds ratings and structured data to posts.
Does Asklet show star ratings on my posts?
No. Asklet can ask a 1-5 star question, but the results stay private in your dashboard and it adds no rating structured data. For a public average on each post, a rating plugin such as Rate My Post fits better.
Can I use Asklet and Rate My Post together?
Yes, they don't conflict. Some sites keep public star ratings and add an Asklet question on the sections where they want comments. Two widgets at the end of every post is a lot to ask of readers, so pick one per section.
Is Rate My Post free?
Rate My Post has a free version on WordPress.org and a paid Premium version from FeedbackWP. See FeedbackWP's own site for current details.
Is there a free alternative to Rate My Post?
Yes. Asklet has a Free plan for one website, with 2 active surveys of up to 3 questions each and 100 responses a month. Paid plans raise those limits.
How do I switch from Rate My Post to Asklet?
Create a survey, add your website and list the domains it runs on, then paste the Asklet snippet into your Single Posts template. You can run both while you compare.
