"Review filtering" means asking a customer how it went before showing the review buttons. Google's policy forbids it. "Not explained" means the vendor hints at a filter and never describes it.
What sends people looking past Trustpilot
Each of these came from their own pages, not from our opinion.
A 12 month prepaid contract
Their own page says all contracts are a 12 month commitment. There is no monthly option at any tier.
The reviews are not on Google
A Trustpilot review helps your Trustpilot profile. For a local trade, customers read the reviews on Google Maps.
Priced per web domain
Not per location. A business with 1 website and 12 branches gets 1 profile for all of them.
Starter has limits attached
Their page footnotes it as designed for businesses under $5m revenue and available to new customers only.
11 alternatives, in order
1. FiveStariz (our product)
$19 a month, 1 location. A free plan that sends email requests, plus a trial of everything.
Ours, and it does the opposite job in 1 important way: it sends customers to whichever review site you choose, including Google. $19 a month, month to month, no contract. We do not run a public review platform, so you get no Trustpilot style profile.
2. Trustindex
$65 a year. Free features forever, 7 day trial of the paid ones.
$65 a year to show your existing reviews on your website, from 133 platforms. If the widgets were why you wanted Trustpilot, this is a tenth of the price.

$37 a month, free plan available. A real free plan, no texts on it.
$37 a month with a free plan, aimed at local reviews rather than a platform profile.

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 first and labelled it, because hiding that would make this an advert.

Trustpilot alternatives, answered
How much does Trustpilot cost?
There is a free plan with 50 invitations a month. Paid plans start from $99 a month for Starter, $319 for Plus and $799 for Premium, all billed a year up front. We read these on their plans page on 18 October 2026. All contracts are a 12 month commitment.
Is Trustpilot worth it for a local business?
Usually not. Your customers search Google Maps and read what is there. A Trustpilot profile earns its keep for an online shop or a national brand where shoppers recognise the badge. If you can only fund 1 thing, put the reviews on Google.
What is the best free Trustpilot alternative?
Trustpilot's own free plan is hard to beat at 50 invitations a month, so start there if a public profile is what you want. For Google reviews instead, Reviewgrower has a free plan, Chekkit is free for 1 user, and our free plan sends unlimited email requests.
Can I ask only happy customers to review me on Trustpilot?
No. Their guidelines ban "inviting only those people who you know have had a positive experience". They ask you to invite everyone the same way, at the same point in the journey. Google says the same thing. We agree with both, which is why we never built a gate.
