Why Teams Choose VideoTestimonials Over Trustpilot

1

Own your testimonials

Testimonials live on your domain and are fully under your control. Trustpilot reviews live on their platform, and they control the display rules.

2

Full branding control

Display testimonials with your brand, colors, and design. Trustpilot requires their branding on all widgets and badges.

3

Video testimonials

Capture authentic video stories alongside text reviews in one platform.

4

Curate your best reviews

Choose which testimonials to display publicly. Trustpilot does not allow selective display (review gating is against their terms).

5

Dramatically lower cost

Start free and upgrade at $24/mo. Trustpilot's business plans start at $299/mo with a 12-month commitment.
