What Merchants Think

Merchants express significant dissatisfaction with the "Trustpilot Reviews" app, pointing to issues such as high costs, inefficient customer service, and complications with review visibility. Many users feel that the app’s pricing structure is not supportive of small businesses and its removal of genuine customer reviews is problematic. Though it offers some useful features, the overall sentiment is negative due to perceived unfair business practices and inadequate technical support.

Key Strengths

  • Offers functional review widgets when purchased
  • Integration capabilities with external platforms like Shopify (when working)

Common Concerns

  • High pricing and expensive monthly plans
  • Removal of legitimate customer reviews without transparency
  • Frequent technical issues, such as non-working widgets and connectivity problems
  • Poor customer service and support response times
  • Perceived unethical business practices
  • Spam and fake reviews remain unaddressed

Final Thoughts

Overall, the "Trustpilot Reviews" app has been poorly received by its users primarily due to its high costs and lack of effective customer support. Despite having some beneficial features, these are overshadowed by various technical issues and the app's inability to foster trust through ethical business practices. Merchants are advised to consider alternative options that offer better support and value for money.

Terrible experience. No response to emails or live chat. They didn't every reply to two requests to move onto the plus plan. When you try to subscribe to a paid plan it says we will contact you. No doubt when they contact you they are trying to lock you into a long term contract. Trustpilot is a massive recognised brand but their customer service is terrible.

I really don't like trustpilot, they prey on all businesses by allowing customers to easily leave negative reviews and then they pitch to businesess oh hey pay us $500/mo and we'll make it easier to get better reviews. Absolutely BS. I wish this company would go away

I've been trying to install this app for hours to no avail. Have to give it a one star rating. Does not work with Shopify as stated. When installing it does nothing except says click here if a new window does not open, this takes you to a signup screen whereby if you re-enter the info it says your already signed up. The end. One Star. But only because there's no Zero.

DO NOT TRUST TRUSTPILOT!! - They keep removing my customers 5* Reviews and asking for Order Forms, Proof of Purchase and making it a complicated and time consuming procedure. Told my customers 'It has to be a full and genuine experience' Yet, when someone leaves a 1* Review who isn't even a customer or ever bought from us they refuse to do the same checks and say 'A 1* experience could mean a phone call, or a visit to your Website that they didn't like' It doesn't mean they have to have bought from you. The sooner they close down the better it will be for small businesses. They are killing business for their own financial gain.

DO NOT PAY TRUSTPILOT A DIME. It is a total scam of a business and scam of a business model. They artificially deflate your review ratings and hide positive reviews from your profile until you pay; it is absolutely illegal. Just look at every review of their own service - it is awful. Brands, do not pay them anything. This grift should go to $0 - hopefully AI and search destroys their business model.

They keep deleting the positive verified reviews of my customers. Then they say that they have to upload a receipt for the review to go back up. Trustpilot is the one sending the reviews out to my customers after verified orders, there is no need to inconvenience my customers in this way. Perhaps they don't delete reviews on the paid plan, not sure, but based on my experience DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I don't think Trustpilot understand a small business at all; the price they are asking for a monthly subscription is way too much for the value they bring; so now, on top of hmrc, royalmail, and PayPal, one must take out extra share for Trustpilot!

Not for startups or small businesses. The free version only let people see your reviews on their site. The price for an upgrade to show the reviews on your site are way to high. And that is only the review for my business. The product reviews that i get does not show at all without the expensive upgrade. I regret choosing Trustpilot, should have used another review service that actually shows on your site without paying a huge amount.

Initially loved this, however they have updated the app and in order to use any of their review widgets you must pay their minimum fee of £250 per month. Just to reiterate, in order to show customer reviews (which are not owned by TrustPilot) you must pay TrustPilot £250 per month alongside being forced to sign up to their platform and signing over your business details, in order to show the public owned reviews that YOUR customers have left. Combine this with the daily chasing emails you recieve from Account Managers to sign you up to this service, it feels very bait and switch. I am frustrated as I will now have to migrate all my reviews to another platform.

The app could really be improved by leveraging Shopify theme sections for each of the TrustBoxes. It's frustrating having to use the TrustBox previewer. Apart from that it works as you'd expect for a review app but given its popularity I would hold this app to a higher standard.

Is this some kind of joke? The pricing plans, especially when considering the amount of spam/fake reviews that run rife on Trustpilot, are completely ridiculous. I was hoping that the free plan would just cover a limited number of reviews and perhaps at least 1-2 basic widgets just so small businesses can 'get off the ground' and then I would upgrade once orders start coming in, but NO. You have to pay straight away to use anything at all. If they charged a small fee per order/review sent, that would make more sense, but as it stands, it's just a complete rip-off. I hesitate to use the word "scam", but this is coming awfully close. I just uninstalled after 10 mins, and found another MUCH better alternative with a fair pricing structure.

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. We have not been able to see the TrustPilot reviews on our site for over 3 months. It takes them 2 weeks to answer an email, and then it is to ask for the same information that I have already sent. When I finally was able to chat with someone who could see that I was telling the truth about what was going on, they quickly said they would get it to the engineering team. That was 3 weeks ago. And yet, they are very quick at collecting their money. DO NOT GET THIS APP. The customer service is horrible. The support team appears to be non-existent. This app was suggested to us by our CRO Team. We should have investigated the app before we allowed it to be added. It's been a disaster. At least we kept Judge.me. We are happy with them.

They are not capable to detect and delete spam reviews, they are not capable of detecting competitors lying about their reviews on their website with the help of trustpilot widget, do not ever think paying them 170 eur a month for nothing.

Very frustrating software, they paywall you reviews if you need to export them for any issues. The limitations compared to other review apps are so apparent if you just check out a few competitors. Few options and unhelpful support. On top of that I get random sales agents calling me trying to sell me their service every month. Terrible highly do not recommend.

Den fungere slet ikke, og kan ikke forbinde os til trustpilot, har prøvet 10 gange nu, og deres support vender ikke tilbage, min mening generelt om trustpilot er ret negativ og dette gør det bestemt ikke bedre.

Very bad experience, they installed badges on the homepage without my permission, community Q&A couldn't find removal measures, so called customer service just disappeared, will never use again!

Fake/Non-genuine reviews run rife on Trustpilot. And they do nothing about it to protect businesses. We have 1 star reviews about trainers, we don't even sell trainers... However Trustpilot will not investigate these issues, they allow you to flag, but will just give a generic template response. It's a shame that the site holds such buyer trust because when you start to look at the detail it's clear to see that it has real issues with fake reviews/ bots. Looking forward to another textbook generic response to follow this below.

Incredibly unethical/immoral pricing -- completely useless for small businesses. No matter which way they spin it, $259/month to have the BASIC ability to show your score, is insanity. Used to have a free widget that displayed score, which they removed. They try justifying their prices by the 'features', which a majority of users likely don't want nor care for. Switched to making use of Google Reviews -- a free way to display your review score. I'd be happy to switch back to TrustPilot and edit this review, if their practises became more consumer friendly.
