Who created Quizzings, and when did it start?

The Quizzings homepage, with the headline "Customer reviews for startups." over a blue-to-pink sky and a Start free button.

In short:Quizzings was created by Nas, the founder behind Selling with Nas (sellingwithnas.com and the Selling with Nas YouTube channel), and started in August 2026. It was built because so many businesses and reviewers complain about how Trustpilot manages reviews, from paywalled tools and annual contracts to reviews disappearing without a clear reason, and it exists to give small businesses a simpler, fairer place to collect reviews they actually own.

Quizzings was created by Nas, the founder behind Selling with Nas, and it started in August 2026. It's a young platform, and that's deliberate: it was built from scratch this year, for the way small businesses and startups collect reviews now, rather than inherited from a review model designed more than a decade ago.

If you've landed here because you're deciding whether to trust Quizzings with your reviews, the rest of this post covers who is behind it, why it was built, and exactly where it differs from Trustpilot, the platform it was built as an alternative to.

Who is behind Quizzings?

Quizzings is built and run by Nas, who publishes as Selling with Nas. Before Quizzings, Nas spent five years at Amazon helping brands scale their e-commerce revenue, then founded a startup, raised venture capital, grew it to more than 15,000 users, and sold it to a larger brand. Nas also runs Talk to Me Data, which builds and deploys custom AI agents for businesses.

You don't have to take any of that on trust from this page. Nas publishes openly in two places:

  • Website: sellingwithnas.com lists Quizzings among the products Nas builds, alongside a blog and a contact page if you'd like to get in touch directly.
  • YouTube: the Selling with Nas channel covers building real products with AI, from hands-on Claude Code tutorials to building AI agents. It's the same approach Quizzings itself was built with.

That matters for a review platform specifically. You're trusting it with your reputation, so you should be able to see who is behind it, what else they've built, and how to reach them. Quizzings is run by a named founder with a public track record, not an anonymous operator.

When did Quizzings start?

Quizzings started in August 2026. Nas began building it that month, and the core of the product (a shareable review link, a moderation dashboard, and an embeddable widget) was in place within weeks, followed by a free trial, Google sign-in, and review pages that translate automatically for each visitor.

Being new is an advantage here. Quizzings doesn't carry the legacy of an older review business: no enterprise sales team to fund, no per-invitation pricing to protect, and no annual contracts to renew. Every decision could be made for a small business collecting its first reviews.

Why was Quizzings created?

Quizzings was created because complaints about how Trustpilot manages reviews are everywhere once you start looking. Business owners and reviewers raise the same issues again and again, and some of them are now backed by regulators rather than just forum threads:

  • An Italian regulator fined Trustpilot €4 million. On 23 March 2026, Italy's competition authority, the AGCM, fined Trustpilot €4 million for unfair commercial practices. The regulator found that Trustpilot's tools let businesses hand-pick which customers received review invitations, undermining the representativeness of ratings even when reviews were labelled "verified", and that Trustpilot used dark patterns that obscured how the platform works and which businesses were paying for services. Trustpilot has said it strongly disagrees with the finding and is appealing it.
  • Fake reviews at scale. By Trustpilot's own 2025 Trust Report, it removed 4.5 million fake reviews in 2024, 7.4% of everything submitted that year. That's a lot of removals, and it's also a measure of how much fake content the platform attracts in the first place.
  • Genuine reviews disappearing. A common complaint from both reviewers and businesses is that real reviews get flagged or removed without a clear explanation, while suspicious ones stay up. When a platform's moderation is automated and opaque, the people it affects rarely find out why.
  • You can't leave. Once a business has been reviewed, Trustpilot doesn't delete its profile page, and a business can't remove the page itself. A business that never signed up can still end up with a public profile it has no way to take down.
  • Pay-to-play allegations. In December 2025, the short seller Grizzly Research published a report alleging that Trustpilot creates unsolicited profiles to attract negative reviews and pressure businesses into paid plans, and that scores improve once a business pays. Grizzly held a short position in Trustpilot's stock and presents the report as its opinion rather than as a statement of fact, so read it with that in mind. The allegations do echo complaints many business owners already had.
  • Price and friction. Trustpilot's published plans start at $99 per month per domain, billed annually under a twelve-month prepaid contract, and every reviewer has to create a Trustpilot account before their review is published.

None of these on its own makes Trustpilot unusable. Taken together, though, they explain why so many small businesses feel the platform wasn't built for them, and why Quizzings was.

Why is Quizzings a better alternative to Trustpilot?

Quizzings answers each of those complaints directly. It keeps control and ownership with the business, makes leaving a review as easy as possible for the customer, and replaces annual contracts with a plain monthly price.

Quizzings Trustpilot
Starting price $19/mo, billed monthly $99/mo per domain, billed annually
Contract None, cancel any time 12-month prepaid commitment
Reviewer account required No Yes
Review invitations Free and unlimited on every plan Tiered allowance per plan
Who can edit or delete a review's text Nobody, including Quizzings Removal decided by Trustpilot's moderation
Where reviews live Your own review page and your own site Trustpilot's domain
Time to go live About five minutes, no sales call Signup, setup and configuration

Here's what each of those differences means in practice.

Nobody can quietly rewrite your reviews. Once a review is published on Quizzings, its text can never be edited or deleted by anyone, not the business and not Quizzings. A business can hide a review it believes is fake or abusive, instantly and without a support ticket, and bring it back at any time. The decision stays with the business rather than with an opaque moderation system, and the underlying record is never destroyed. Our post on why review ownership matters goes deeper into this.

Your customers don't need an account. A Quizzings review link opens straight to a short form. There's no sign-up and no login, and most customers are done in under a minute, so fewer people give up halfway.

Invitations are never rationed. Nothing on Quizzings is billed per invitation. A business can ask ten customers or ten thousand for the same flat price. That removes the incentive to only invite the customers most likely to leave glowing reviews, which is the practice the Italian regulator objected to.

Your reviews work for your site, not someone else's. Reviews render on your own review page and inside a widget on your own website, in a grid, list or badge layout you choose. Review content on your own domain builds your search presence instead of a third-party listing's.

It's built for how people build websites now. You can paste one script tag, or hand the agent prompt from your dashboard to a coding assistant like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and let it install the widget for you. Most businesses are live within about five minutes of signing up.

Plain pricing with no lock-in. Plans start at $19/mo, billed monthly, with a seven-day free trial covering your first 10 reviews and no card required.

Is Quizzings legit?

Yes. Quizzings is a working product run by a named, publicly reachable founder. You can sign up and collect your first reviews today, and you can see who built it and what else they've built on sellingwithnas.com and the Selling with Nas YouTube channel.

The fastest way to judge it is to try it. Sign up, add your business name, and share your review link. The free trial needs no card, and nothing you collect is lost if you take time to decide on a plan.
