### "Helpful for checking reviews before you buy"

April 25, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience has been good. I use it regularly to check reviews before trying new products or services, and it has helped me avoid a few bad experiences. It’s a useful tool, especially when you’re unsure about a company.

Pros

I like how easy it is to read real customer reviews before buying something or using a service. It helps me make better decisions and avoid wasting money. The layout is simple and everything is easy to understand.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to know if all the reviews are genuine, as some businesses seem to have only very positive reviews. Also, not every company responds to feedback, which can be a bit frustrating.

### "Expensive but necessary for reputation management"

July 21, 2025

4.0

In the past 2 years we've been a Trustpilot customer, they've increased the subscription price whilst taking away features and not adding any new features to our plan, so we're paying for a diminished product, but so many software companies are doing this nowadays. I truly wish there was an alternative

Pros

The interface is very user friendly, it's easy to integrate with ecommerce and easy to manage replying to customer reviews.

Cons

It seems like it's a bit of a 'necessary evil' to have, on one hand we need a system to collect customer reviews, but also the ability to reply to any reviews and so we're left paying for this expensive bit of software just to manage our reputation.

### "A Well‑Known Review Platform That Supports Transparency"

April 27, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Trustpilot was generally positive. The platform is effective at building transparency and trust by giving customers a space to share authentic feedback while allowing businesses to engage publicly with reviews. I found it valuable for understanding customer sentiment, monitoring brand reputation, and demonstrating accountability through responses to both positive and negative reviews. However, managing reviews can sometimes be challenging, particularly when dealing with feedback that feels misleading or unfair. Dispute processes can be time‑consuming, and many advanced features—such as deeper analytics and customization—are tied to paid plans. Despite this, Trustpilot remains a strong and widely recognized review platform, especially useful for businesses focused on credibility, visibility, and customer trust.

Pros

What I liked most about Trustpilot was its transparency and credibility as a review platform. It provides a trusted space for customers to share genuine feedback while helping businesses understand their reputation and identify areas for improvement. I also appreciated how easy it is to collect, manage, and respond to reviews, as well as the visibility Trustpilot offers to build consumer trust and brand credibility.

Cons

What I liked least about Trustpilot was the limited control businesses have over negative or misleading reviews. While transparency is important, disputing or removing reviews that appear inaccurate or unfair can be challenging and time‑consuming. Additionally, some of the more useful features—such as advanced analytics, customization, and review management tools—are locked behind paid plans, which can make the platform feel somewhat pay‑to‑play for businesses trying to actively manage their reputation.

### "Trustpilot’s Business Model Feels Like a Trap"

March 7, 2025

1.0

We initially saw value in Trustpilot, but after experiencing unethical renewal practices and a refusal to engage in fair dialogue, we can no longer recommend them. They will likely respond to this review with a generic statement about "contract terms" and directing us to their support team – but that is exactly the issue. Their "support" consists of canned responses that do not address real concerns. Any business considering Trustpilot should be extremely cautious and ensure they understand the full implications of their subscription terms. There are alternative platforms with far more ethical business practices.

Pros

Trustpilot’s platform is well-known, and having customer reviews in one place can be useful for businesses. The integration options are solid, and the basic functionality does what it promises.

Cons

Trustpilot’s aggressive renewal tactics and lack of transparency make them a risky partner for any business. They enforce automatic renewals at drastically increased prices without clear consent, and their support team does little to resolve disputes fairly. Instead of prioritizing customer relationships, they seem focused on locking businesses into overpriced contracts with little room for negotiation.

Hi Erik, Thanks for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear you feel this way and appreciate the opportunity to better understand your concerns. We aim to be transparent in our communications and contract terms, including renewal details, which are shared during onboarding and outlined in your contract. That said, we understand how frustrating it can be when expectations and experiences don't align, especially regarding pricing and support. We take feedback like yours seriously and are always looking for ways to improve how we engage with and support our customers. If you're open to continuing the conversation, our team would be happy to revisit the matter and see if we can help bring clarity or a more satisfactory resolution. Thanks, The Trustpilot Team

### "Unreliable "

August 14, 2025

1.0

When I made contact I thought they would fix their error but they didn't. I received what seemed like an automated reply with no name that they still wouldn't allow my review due to their automated detection technology.

Pros

The website was easy to use and fill in the boxes to leave a review. I didn't realise though that trust pilot would choose which reviews were going to be added to their website.

Cons

My review was removed because trust pilot use automated detection technology which checks your location and the review for advertising or harmful/illegal content. I reviewed a local business which I was able to provide documentation for and didn't include any advertising or harmful/illegal content and my review was still not allowed. Several of my friends who also left genuine reviews for the same business had their reviews removed.

### "Very Useful Product in Today's Digital Age"

January 14, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with Trustpilot has been positive, both in reviewing through them as well as reading other people's reviews. It is a very useful company, especially in today's digital age.

Pros

Trustpilot is excellent. Reviews are important when it comes to me deciding what products/companies to trust and buy from, and Trustpilot helps me do that. I get to read from authentic experiences from customers in real time, and it really helps to decide whether or not companies are legitimate. 10/10 product in my eyes.

Cons

Trustpilot is only as useful as the reviewers that use it. The more reviews, the more reliable Trustpilot's reviews are because we get to read from a variety of sources as opposed to one very satisfied/dissatisfied customer. Trustpilot is a more like an "if you know, you know" type of company, and one thing I would suggest they do is to advertise themselves in order to attract more reviewers.

### "The easy way to manage our brand's reputation for small teams."

January 5, 2026

4.0

Trustpilot is useful for tracking customer opinions and establishing credibility for the brand, as well as making marketing decisions, and it brings reviews together into one place so that trends and issues can be easier to spot over time.

Pros

I love the way that reviews can be used as feedback but also a marketing tool to inform us on what readers are thinking and give us credibility with external audiences.

Cons

The learning curve is steep during initial setup, and some advanced features are a bit tricky to configure correctly for small teams.

### "Incredibly damaging to business!"

January 15, 2026

1.0

Incredibly damaging to business! I registered with Trustpilot as a company and received a 5-star rating. However, my profile shows 3.7 stars. I then sent my profile to many of my customers and they rated it. All with 5 stars. My profile showed 4.3. And now Trustpilot has deleted 6 reviews from my customers. Now I'm back at 4.0. It looks like Trustpilot is deliberately trying to damage my business. TO ALL NEW BUSINESSES! BE CAREFUL WHEN REGISTERING, IT CAN BE VERY DAMAGING TO YOUR BUSINESS. By the way, once created, you cant delete your account. This is called slavery.

Pros

Now nothing. As a new business this is the worst you can do. Sorry but cant say even one positiv thing about trustpilot. They are very famous but they dangerous for new business.

Cons

Get bad reputation by using trustpilot. The system of trustpilot is not like every other system. On every reviewing system, when you have 4 5Star reviews, you have 5 Stars on your profile with a small (4). this show the count. Very clear to understand for everybody. On trustpilot you have 4Star profile. So you look like a bad decision for new customers.

### "Reliably useful, reliably efficient"

June 3, 2026

4.0

Very easy to write up and also incredibly easy to filter reviews according to star ratings, dates or key words/ criteria. In fact, I'd say best ever.

Pros

The best thing about Trustpilot is its reliability. As the name suggests, the reviews are always pertinent and trustworthy. For the products and services I have already tried, I find that my opinion is on a par with the majority and where I have not heeded the advice, I have regretted it.

Cons

Some of the more professional services like car traders seem to have their own reviewers. I think Trustpilot could improve their coverage. Sometimes I cannot find any reviews about a company at all. Maybe they need to incentivise reviews for niche companies.

4.0

Pros

I love that it is direct customer feedback with no bs in between. It has a broad coverage of tech product reviews that also offer depth to them.

Cons

It's only user reviews and no product overviews or breakdowns which can be a downside. They can also be emotionally driven rather than fact-based

Pros

It makes it very easy to gather feedback and positive reviews from customers quickly. It's also a great way to quickly check the history and standards of other companies that we may want to use.

### "ZERO REVIEWS. Trustpilot = AWFUL experience from start to finish is an understatement! DO NOT USE."

May 22, 2023

1.0

TrustpilotAWFUL experience from start to finish is an understatement! DO NOT USE.1. No onboarding. I was left to figure everything out myself.2. Our account was set up incorrectly under the wrong company as we operate as two entities. It took 1.5 months to get it corrected and the subscription was useless during that time. 3. We were set up with stars instead of written testimonials as we requested. So I was told it’d be more expensive. This should have been told to us up front. Again, useless during that time. 4. We were given a link so that our clients can submit an UNVERIFIED testimonial. Why would we want that? This was not shared until after I cancelled cancel. 5. Since we’re Retirement Planners and our clientele are older or elderly and aren’t tech savvy enough to create an account after clicking said link so we have a ZERO conversion rate so we have gotten NO benefit from Trustpilot. 6. You get ONE notice of renewal that went into my junk and didn’t see.7. I was told that someone marked my account for non-renewal on 1.3.23 and yet that was not the case. They’re trying to say we renewed for an entire year.8. Today is 5.20 and I have reached out SEVERAL times since 3.2 to discuss our account with someone. It took over 1.5 months for our account manager to contact me.9. They don’t keep good records so they don’t have “proof “of they tell their customers.10. They don’t care about customer service or how it has impacted their customer.

Pros

NOTHING. We got ZERO benefit from Trustpilot. Complete waste of money.

Cons

My entire experience was HORRENDOUS from beginning to end. Even after I thought the end was over.

### "My Only Compliant is We Should Have Signed Up SOONER!"

June 5, 2022

5.0

As I mentioned above, our only complaint is we didn't start working with them sooner.

Pros

We were slow to get on the Trustpilot bandwagon. I had a strong aversion to paying review sites for "tools" to help manage reviews. This was a mistake. We couldn't be more thrilled with our Trustpilot account (and their account team). They did a fantastic job helping us get integrated and really walked us through how we could tell our story online better with ratings and reviews. They also helped quickly identify customers who didn't have a great experience so we could fix the problem.

Cons

Nothing. Their software is very easy to integrate and their tools are very simple to use. We love it.

### "Great features, not so great customer support"

July 31, 2018

5.0

The primary benefit is that we are able to promote a message of trust to our potential customers with highly visible assets. Gathering reviews on such a large scale ensures the quality of service is made clear and we believe this is vital in our marketing in the early stages of the sales funnel. With so much of it being automatic is has also saved us countless man hours that would otherwise be devoted to requesting and processing feedback/reviews.

Pros

The ability to collect and moderate reviews is made really easy in their business portal and API links. We are able to send out invitations to reviews automatically to our customers which then enables us to collect a lot of great feedback, but also important constructive criticisms. The stringent rules on who can leave a review ensures that sabotage is non-existent. Only customers who have proved they have had a direct buying or service experience are allowed to review, meaning spam or malicious negative reviews are taken care of quickly. The compliance team at Trustpilot is great for this. The features that they enable us to embed into our marketing and online material (on the upgraded package) offer a great additional trust element to our brand message that is easy to use and easily customised.

Cons

Customer support is really lacking when it comes to communications regarding account issues. Billing problems result in downgrading of the account and almost complete loss of functionality with no warning, despite having a dedicated account manager. Trying to get assistance from their customer support team late in the afternoon or on a Friday is impossible as you get sent around in circles emailing/calling different people.

### "It's an excellent resource for all of you who are"

October 27, 2022

5.0

I've been using Trustpilot for over a year now and have had nothing but amazing experiences with it. I'm able to find unbiased reviews from people like me and get a better idea of what I'm getting into before making my big purchase. The website is very user-friendly and has the most up-to-date information on the products that I'm interested in.

Pros

I have been using Trustpilot for years now and it is an invaluable resource. With so many companies out there, it's hard to know who is honest and worth your time. Trustpilot has always been a solid resource for me to make a decision about a company and the reviews are always genuine. I'm confident that Google and Bing recognize them as well because they put them on the first page of search results

Cons

Trustpilot is a site that I've been using ever since I heard of it. It's really cool to know that you are helping other people make better choices and make sure that the products they buy are worth what they're spending on them. Trustpilot is a great site, and I can't wait to see it grow even more!

### "Trust Pilot name is enough"

February 16, 2023

My Overall experience with trust pilot is better than trust radius. Because trust pilot is free to post, never paid for review. Their most of reviewer are genuine and fully organic..

Pros

Trust pilot as above i said name is enough for their contribution in every possible sector, where trust and reliability is most important factor. I am using trust pilot sinse 2010.i feel their 75% of views express here are true and organic. Now a days everyday new frauds are coming in news, so people 's dont trust easily. This platform play significant role and help people in determining what is best for him. This is the only reason, I really liked this platform very much. I also have posted several reviews. You can check.

Cons

I dont like about trust pilot only one point, here anybody can post fake reviews. I suggested for trust pilot, first check genuineness of reviewer, so that no one post fake review. It also increased their reputation, reliability and trust.

Reason for choosing Trustpilot

As i above stated trust pilot is better than trust radius. Because trust pilot is free to post, never paid for review. This is their strength.

### "Great Experience using Free Version"

December 7, 2022

4.0

Pros

Full disclaimer, we are using the free version of TrustPilot and have been for a year or two. What's great about is the ease of response and snapshot insights that we're able to receive. I like that even with the free account there are some customizations available.

Cons

I feel like TrustPilot could be a bit more involved when someone submits multiple reviews about the same issue. Sometimes they'll catch it and note it's not part of the overall score - but other times they don't. Also, if we do a request for more information from the poster and they don't respond, it doesn't give us any avenue to address their concerns and the review should be removed in my opinion. I don't bother to fight these as TrustPilot is not our main review platform, but if it was this would definitely be more cause for concern.

### "Years of frustration, terrible investment"

October 13, 2020

1.0

The last straw that finally pushed us to sign up with another review company (Verified-Reviews), was when a customer posted a horrible review about our company and insisted that we discount a product they wanted by 50% or they wouldn't remove the terrible review. We were not ok with extortion and thought showing Trustpilot this totally inappropriate demand from a rogue customer would result in the bad review being removed. Shockingly Trustpilot refused to take down the bad review even after we showed them proof in emails from the customer that they wouldn't remove the review unless we discounted one of our products by 50%. We had enough being taken advantage of by Trustpilots outrageous fees and contracts, then they allow customers to extort us, and customer service was horrible... we are SO glad we left!

Pros

Trustpilot had a better UI / design than other 3rd party review platforms, that eventually turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing mistake that our company should have recognized far sooner.

Cons

We find Trustpilot's renewal practices oppressive, with the exponential price demands, very unreasonable, and with terrible service on so many issues we experienced with their back end system. Then the amount of fake reviews being left by spammers was a daily annoyance that we had to manually flag; it became impossible to accept after we'd have multiple reviews left in a day from people leaving fake reviews on our acccount about a TV they bought, or a vacation package, it very quickly dissolved into nothing but a major headache for our team to monitor and Trustpilot's customer service was worthless.
