Quizzings vs Trustpilot: an honest comparison for startups
In short:Quizzings costs $19/mo billed monthly with no annual contract, lets customers leave a review with one click and no account, and never lets anyone, including Quizzings, delete a review; Trustpilot's published plans start at $99/mo per domain, billed annually under a 12-month prepaid contract, and require reviewers to create a Trustpilot account first.
If you're actively comparing the two, the short version is this: Quizzings is built for a startup collecting its first reviews without going through a sales process, while Trustpilot is built for a larger company that can absorb the price, the annual prepaid contract, and the account-creation step Trustpilot puts in front of every single reviewer before they can publish anything. The table below lays out where the two actually differ, and the rest of this post is the detail behind each row rather than a restatement of it.
Price
Quizzings starts at $19/mo for up to 100 reviews, billed monthly, with unlimited invitations included on every plan from day one. Trustpilot's own business pricing page lists its Starter plan at $99 per month per domain, billed annually under an initial twelve-month prepaid contract, with invitation allowances that scale by tier rather than a truly unlimited pool. So the comparison isn't just $19 against $99 on paper; it's a monthly, cancel-anytime subscription against an annual prepayment you commit to before you've even seen your first review come in.
| Quizzings | Trustpilot | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $19/mo | $99/mo per domain (billed annually) |
| Monthly invitations | Free and unlimited | Tiered allowance per plan |
| Contract | Monthly, cancel any time | 12-month prepaid commitment |
| Time to first widget live | About five minutes | Signup, setup, and configuration |
Because vendor pricing and contract terms change over time, it's worth checking Trustpilot's own pricing page directly before you make a final decision either way, rather than relying on any single comparison post, including this one, as the final word.
Getting started
Quizzings has no sales call anywhere in its onboarding. You sign up, add your business, and get a working review link the same day, with the widget often live on your site within about five minutes of finishing the signup form. That last step happens either by pasting one script tag directly into your site, or by handing an agent prompt to a coding assistant like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and letting it wire the widget in for you.
Trustpilot's onboarding for a paid plan is a heavier process by design, since it's built around a formal contract rather than a same-day signup. That's the right process for a larger company negotiating terms it plans to live with for a year, but it's a mismatch for a startup that wants reviews live on its site before the end of the day it decided to start collecting them.
What your customers have to do
This is usually the difference startups notice first once they've tried both. A Quizzings review link goes straight to a form: no account, no login, and the customer is done submitting in under a minute. Trustpilot, by contrast, requires the reviewer to create a Trustpilot account before their review can be published, which adds a real, unavoidable step between a customer thinking "yes, I'll do that" and the review actually existing anywhere. That extra step is one of the most common reasons review requests go unfinished on any platform that requires it, regardless of how well the request itself is written.
Who owns the reviews, and who can remove one
On Quizzings, reviews are yours and rendered on your own domain from day one. A business can hide a review it genuinely believes is fake or abusive, but nobody, including Quizzings itself, can ever edit or delete the text of a review once it has been published. Hiding a review is fully reversible at any point; deleting one was never offered to anyone in the first place, which is part of what makes the reviews that stay visible worth trusting.
Trustpilot reviews live on Trustpilot's own domain, under Trustpilot's own moderation policy, and whether a disputed review comes down is ultimately Trustpilot's call to make rather than the listed business's. The two systems simply put that decision in different hands: yours, on Quizzings, and Trustpilot's, on Trustpilot. If ownership and control over your own review history matters to you, it's worth reading through our dedicated page on switching from Trustpilot for more detail on exactly how that plays out in practice.
Can I switch, or run both?
Most teams don't need to cancel Trustpilot the moment they decide to try Quizzings. They run both side by side while their Quizzings reviews build up over the following weeks, then cancel Trustpilot whenever their existing annual term actually allows it, so there's no gap in review coverage during the transition. On the Free and Pro plans, Quizzings collects new reviews going forward through your own link rather than importing your Trustpilot history automatically; migrating existing reviews over, with their original dates and authors intact, is part of onboarding on the Team plan instead.
Frequently asked questions
Is Quizzings actually cheaper than Trustpilot?
Yes, on both the sticker price and the terms attached to it. Quizzings starts at $19/mo with unlimited invitations included and no annual commitment of any kind. Trustpilot's published Starter plan is $99 per month per domain, billed annually under a twelve-month prepaid contract, so the total first-year cost and the flexibility to change your mind both favour Quizzings by a wide margin.
Do I need to cancel Trustpilot before switching to Quizzings?
No. Most teams run both platforms at the same time while their Quizzings reviews build up, then cancel Trustpilot whenever their existing annual term allows it, rather than trying to time an exact cutover between the two.
Is there a contract with Quizzings?
No. Quizzings is billed monthly and can be cancelled at any time with no notice period. Trustpilot's listings are typically sold on an annual, prepaid commitment instead.
Do my customers need to create an account to leave a review?
No. On Quizzings they simply open your link and submit their review directly. Trustpilot requires the reviewer to create a Trustpilot account first, which is one of the main reasons review requests on that platform go unfinished.
Can I bring my existing Trustpilot reviews over to Quizzings?
Not automatically on the Free or Pro plans; those collect new reviews going forward through your own Quizzings link rather than importing history. Importing an existing platform's full review history, with original dates and authors preserved, is part of onboarding on the Team plan.
Can Quizzings delete a bad review for me?
No, and that limitation is deliberate rather than a missing feature. A business can hide a review from its public page and its widget, which stops that review counting toward the average, but the text itself can never be edited or deleted by anyone, not the business and not Quizzings. Hiding is fully reversible; deleting was never offered to begin with, and that constraint is exactly what makes the reviews still visible on a business's page worth believing.
