I have been thinking about looking for more European alternatives to Trustpilot for a while as Trustpilot are not trustworthy in my opinion.

They have removed legit reviews and are very expensive for businesses. They have been reported to use aggressive sales tactics, pressuring businesses into paid plans by highlighting negative reviews or offering better visibility for positive ones. Trustpilot has been failing for years to do what it claims it does. For both the customer and the business end.

For both (customer and business), it is better to post reviews on multiple platforms, and for us, it is better if the review platforms are European. I know these are already fairly well known and used in some countries, but not everywhere. Please post links to any others, as I could only find two and hope that there are more.

TrustProfile ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ TrustProfile is more than just reviews. TrustProfile combines an extensive review tool with information from all kind of trustsources.

The Trustbadge ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ The Trustbadge โ€“ Grow your Business & Show that your customers love you The one and only Trustbadgeยฎ technology collects & displays genuine Customer Reviews at a glance.

Well blow my socks off with a shotgun. I misread alternativeto. But my statement about them still stands. They are no longer trustworthy imo, and they have been using nasty tactics to force businesses to pay them. Also, we need more options so that reviews can be double and triple checked.
