Support ist zero, agressive expensive price strategy, limited functionalities, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND IT !
We have agreed a multi site domains deal with our customer manager and he doesn't feel like respecting his part of the agreement.
We have paid for Standard Plan but the subscription we got is Free Plan.
We have asked for another customer manager, a call back and of course our money back. We will see what happens !
Whatch out at this company when you sign a deal with them !!! Their pricing is tricky and unclear !
Honestly how ironic (irony number 1) is that: a reviews company has itself 1,8 stars ??? We wanted to downgrade in month 4 of the 12 months contract and received the email from the account manager that is not possible mid-term but only at the end of the contract. Now at the end of the contract she is saying we should have done this 30 days prior to the expiration. We feel ourselves fooled, scamed and extorted ! (by a review company-irony number 2).

Forvirrende og ikke til at arbejde med... Det er især bøvlet med flere domæner osv... Så er det også yderst begrænset med servicen og lysten til at hjælpe med reelle problemer... Servicen er der kun hvis man bruger en af deres færdige manueller/løsninger

Very slow and non-existent support! Claimed they can't access our website to look at the issue, like every other App developer on Shopify, due to their policy. We had to pay a 3rd party developer to fix their App!

Terrible app - widget integrations don't work. I am paying nearly £200 a month for their service and I deeply regret it, their services do not reflect those within the agreement and I will be renouncing the contract void if this is not fixed. I 'product multi-source' widget won't even show up on my product page - trustboxes don't even appear when you drag and drop. Footer widgets only show on the landing page - if you add one on another page then it will publish and show two widgets on the landing page above another. I am more than technically literate with computers - I imagine how difficult it is for an ordinary person.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. It looks like our widgets are disrupting your website performance. To help place the TrustBox widget on your page, you must know the total weight of your webpage. The average web page weighs around 1.6 MB and some eCommerce sites weigh 5MB or more. The TrustBox adds on an average of 50kB which depends on the type of widget you select and how much data it displays. To put it in perspective, on a very small page, a TrustBox will take over about 6% of the page’s total size.

Here’s a step-by-step video guide to help showcase your reviews with widgets on your webpage: https://support.trustpilot.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407738718482-Video-Showcase-reviews-with-widgets.

If you have any additional questions, we recommend you reach out to our support team.

Thank you,
Trustpilot Team

The important thing you need to remember about TurdPilot before having anything to do with them is that they claim to own every review you receive through their platform. You cannot use or make meaningful reference to any of the review you receive unless TurdPilot say it's allowed, which will only happen if you are paying their subscription fee.
This is fine if you are happy to keep paying their subscription fee every month forever without question. But from over 2 years customer experience I found they regularly hike up the fees by an extortionate amount (nearly a 75% increase in my case) which presents a dilemma. Do you keep paying the stupidly high fees just so you can keep referencing your reviews on site? Or do you cancel your subscription and lose free access to all that hard work?
If, like me, you choose not to pay the stupidly high fees, you can look forward to a series of threatening emails from various TurdPilot minions warning you not to make any reference to your (sorry, I mean their) reviews. The whole TurdPilot set up is little more than a scam. How a company can claim to own reviews that have been left for YOUR hard work and good service by YOUR customers is beyond me!
On top of this, the widgets they provide to show off your reviews (sorry, i mean their reviews) on your site are clunky, ugly and badly scripted. They take an age to load up and will slow down your site. Once I had cancelled my subscription and removed their widgets my site speed drastically improved along with my SEO ranking!
In summary, having been a paying customer of TurdPilot for over 2 years, I'd advise not to get suckered into using their platform unless you have very deep pockets since you may be trapped paying their fees regardless of how much they choose to charge you.
P.S. Look at all the other 1 star reviews their getting too - AVOID!!!!!

Hi Seashore Jewellery,

Thanks for taking the time to share this with us and other users.

If you or one of your customers in this case, write a review and it doesn't appear online, the chances are that our software has detected a guideline breach and taken it offline.

This automated system removes reviews if they do not meet our reviewing guidelines, this can sometimes be because of aggressive language, the sharing of personal information, multiple reviews posted by the same user to a business or a user's IP address being registered to multiple accounts. If a business flags a review for removal we have the same guidelines and give businesses other options to dispute reviews such as - not a genuine experience and defamatory claims.

Understandably the removal of reviews can cause frustration, however we notify users via email when this has happened and we ask them to provide proof within 3 days of a review being flagged and/or removed. Providing this proof is something that your customers are responsible for.

You as a business also have the opportunity to appeal these removals with our Content Integrity team.

No business can pay to have reviews removed - be they negative or positive.

Thanks

Updated the app and lost all my product reviews. Cannot get any support, this is costing me sales by the hour. The app developer is the issue as Trust Pilot has all my reviews but the app won't display them! Do not update the app!!!

Trustpilot reviews are valuable for my business, but don't get sucked in, unless you're willing to pay $200+ per month (paid 12 months upfront) just to be able to have YOUR reviews from YOUR customers showing on YOUR website. Trustpilot is a trusted source of reviews and they've helped my business, but they've shut down third party apps from showing YOUR customer reviews on YOUR site. It's easy to collect reviews with Trustpilot but I'd recommend Google reviews so you can show them on your site as you need. For a business that generates social proof, they really should deal better with their customers.

Hi Throne Boss Australia,

Thank you for taking the time to review us.

We're glad to hear that your business is getting the recognition that it deserves through Trustpilot.

Trustpilot is a free to use platform. Anyone can use Trustpilot for free, as a business or consumers. While we do offer paid packages for businesses to have access to some of our tools, like analytic functions, Trustpilot is also free to use for all businesses with all its main functions.

Businesses also have access to our free functions to invite and display Trustpilot score on their website. For more information about the free plan you can find out in the link below: https://support.trustpilot.com/hc/en-us/articles/236051547-How-to-use-Trustpilot-for-free

As long as you have a Trustpilot Business account you can showcase customer reviews through our pre approved widgets. You can find these in your business account by logging in at https://uk.business.trustpilot.com.

It's true that it's against our guidelines to display Trustpilot reviews on your website through outside widgets (including "homemade" or third-party). This policy is in place to ensure that businesses don't "cherry-pick" only the best reviews or mis-represent their star rating. This allows us to protect the integrity of Trustpilot stars so that consumers can trust they're always seeing an accurate representation of a business when they see Trustpilot reviews.

You can read more about our guidelines here: https://legal.trustpilot.com/for-businesses/legal-brand-guidelines

We hope to see your business continuously grow through the power of reviews.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us here: https://support.trustpilot.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Extremely overpriced for a simple review service. Everything is locked behind a pay-wall. App is not working properly either. Only good thing about the free-version is that it invites customers to write a review, however this amount is also capped. Expected more from the creators of Trustpilot.
