"Review filtering" means asking a customer how it went before showing the review buttons. Google's policy forbids it. "Not explained" means the vendor names a filter and never describes it.
The limits TrueReview publishes itself
Taken from our TrueReview review, where each one is sourced to their own pages.
- The gap between monthly and yearly is steep. Starter is $49 monthly against $29 yearly.
- No free plan.
- No published count of the review sites they read.
- Premium bills extra locations monthly even if the plan is yearly, which is awkward.

How we picked these
- We read the price on each company's own website on 18 October 2026 and wrote down the date. Nothing came from a blog or a comparison article.
- Where a company publishes no price, the list says so instead of repeating a figure from somewhere else.
- We checked each one for review filtering, and we quote the vendor's own words rather than guessing.
- We left in the tools that beat us, and said what they do better.
- We put our own product on the list and labelled it, because hiding that would make this an advert.
