PhysicsOverflow runs [[Q&A software#Comparison of Q&A software|Question2Answer]], an open-source Q&A software, with a custom theme and several plugins and patches.<ref name="faq"/> Some of its plugins have been used by other Question2Answer websites, such as the Open Science Q&A and the Physics Problems Q&A.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://openscience.uni-bielefeld.de/768/how-do-i-regain-access-to-my-imported-account|title=How do I regain access to my imported account? - Ask Open Science|website=openscience.uni-bielefeld.de}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://blog.wikimedia.de/author/christopher_schwarzkopf/|title=Christopher Schwarzkopf – Wikimedia Deutschland Blog

The creation of PhysicsOverflow was well-received by the [[MathOverflow]] community.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/1608/physicsoverflow-just-went-live|title=PhysicsOverflow just went live|website=MathOverflow Meta}}</ref> PhysicsOverflow was also featured at the 5th Offtopicarium<ref>{{cite web|url=https://physicsoverflow.org/22788|title=We have a talk at the Offtopicarium !|last=Dilaton|date=24 August 2014|website=PhysicsOverflow}}</ref> and [[World Scientific]]'s Asia-Pacific Physics News Letter.<ref>{{cite journal|title=PhysicsOverflow: A postgraduate-level physics Q&A site and open peer review system|first1=Abhimanyu|last1=Pallavi Sudhir|first2=Rahel|last2=Knöpfel|date=23 October 2015
* [[John Baez]] suggested the website as a platform for discussing research-level physics questions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/books.html|title=books|website=math.ucr.edu}}</ref>
* Greg Bernhardt, the founder of PhysicsForums, acknowledged the site as a "very interesting development for the physics discussion communities".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://motls.blogspot.com/2013/08/discussion-on-old-and-new-theoretical.html|title=The Reference Frame: Discussion about old and new theoretical physics forums|first=Luboš|last=Motl|date=14 August 2013
* Arnold Neumaier, a professor at the University of Vienna, employs PhysicsOverflow as the platform for discussion about his Theoretical Physics FAQ.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~neum/physfaq/physics-faq.html|title=A theoretical physics FAQ|website=www.mat.univie.ac.at}}</ref>
* String theorist [[Lubos Motl]] referred to the website as a "very promising competition [to Physics Stack Exchange]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://motls.blogspot.com/2014/05/physics-overflow-is-live.html|title=Physics Overflow is live
* The [[University of Stavenger]]'s cosmology department commented that PhysicsOverflow "seems to implement some interesting ideas", and that "it makes some sense the {{sic}} review the reviewing process".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/uiscosmology/posts/1228470267242602|title=UiS Cosmology|website=www.facebook.com}}</ref>
* [[Urs Schreiber]] publicised the site, claiming it could act as a catalyst to make physics academia more open like mathematics.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190202090712/https://plus.google.com/+UrsSchreiber/posts/SoWhSAqmUJ1?loc=us|title=New PhysicsOverflow forum for research-level physics discussion A new site...|date=2 February 2019|website=web.archive.org}}</ref>
