What 12,000+ buyers report

Three platforms hold aggregate ratings for EnergyFirst. They disagree with each other by almost a full point, and the reasons for that disagreement tell you more than any single score.

4.8 /5
9,527+ ratings

Collected by invitation after purchase, so the sample skews toward completed orders.

3.9 /5
2,067 ratings

A comparable sample size to Shopper Approved with a rating almost a full point lower.

4.0 /5
7 ratings

Seven reviews. Too small a sample to read anything into, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

Interpretation

Why the platforms disagree

Shopper Approved collects by invitation immediately after a completed order, which biases the sample toward people whose transaction went smoothly and away from anyone who abandoned, returned, or gave up. SmartCustomer holds a comparable sample size and sits almost a point lower, which is what you would expect from a less order-gated collection method.

Trustpilot’s seven reviews are not a sample of anything. We list the figure because leaving it out would be selective, and we would not draw a conclusion from it.

Where a platform verifies purchase, the ratings are more reliable and less numerous. Where it does not, the ratings are noisier and include people who never bought anything. Reading all three together is more honest than picking the flattering one.

Quotes

In buyers' own words

No verbatim quotes are published yet. We only publish a quote when we can attribute it to a platform and link to the review it came from, and that verification is pending. The platform links above take you to every original review.

Patterns

Common themes

Four themes recur across the platforms. Taste is the most frequent subject in both directions, which is what stevia sweetening produces: strong approval from people it suits and firm rejection from people it does not.

Shipping speed and order handling come up repeatedly and skew positive. Telephone customer service is mentioned unusually often for an online supplement brand, which is consistent with a company that still prints a phone number on the product page.

The recurring criticism concerns a formulation change, with longer-term customers reporting that taste or texture is not what it was when they first bought. That complaint pattern is common across the supplement category and is worth knowing about before you commit to a case.

Every quote on this page links to its source. We do not write reviews and we do not edit them beyond trimming for length.

Judge it yourself

The money-back guarantee covers the unused portion, which makes a single jar a low-risk way to find out whether stevia works for you.
