★★★★★ Nathan Brooks — The Algorithm

Got the IR Approved badge (4+ stars) and it made a noticeable difference on my book page. The Discovery Awards competition was a nice bonus. Great ecosystem.

★★★★☆ Claire Donovan — Paper Hearts

Review was well-crafted and the reader review package added social proof. $299 felt fair for everything included. Turnaround was about 7 weeks.
