The Trustpilot alternative for Shopify

What Trustpilot does well

Trustpilot is the public review platform shoppers recognize, and that trust is hard to replicate. A strong Trustpilot profile signals legitimacy on your storefront, in ads, and in search. Its Free plan lets you send 50 review invitations a month, while paid plans (Starter at $99/mo, Plus at $319/mo, Premium at $799/mo, per domain and billed annually) add automation, TrustBox widgets and review management. Trustpilot is excellent at being the destination where reviews live. What it is not is a multi-channel collection engine: native invitations are email-first, SMS arrives mostly through integrations, and there is no built-in sentiment gate to steer unhappy buyers away from a public one-star. That is exactly where Reviewz complements it rather than replaces it.

Where Reviewz is different

Reviewz is the collection engine that fills your Trustpilot profile, not a competitor to it. It reaches buyers across WhatsApp, SMS and email, so far more customers actually receive and respond to your request than with email-only invitations. Its NPS sentiment routing asks how each buyer feels first: happy customers are sent straight to your public Trustpilot profile to post a five-star, while unhappy ones go to a private feedback form where you can resolve the issue before it ever becomes a public one-star. That means a higher volume of positive Trustpilot reviews and fewer damaging ones. Reviewz is Shopify-native, ships free widget generators, and offers a free tier with the full workflow, then scales from 59 euros per month. Use them together: Reviewz collects, Trustpilot displays.

What to look for in a Trustpilot alternative

If your goal is a strong Trustpilot profile, think about collection rather than the destination. First, channel reach: email invitations alone leave reviews on the table, so look for a tool that also requests over WhatsApp and SMS, where open and reply rates are higher. Second, sentiment routing: you want happy buyers steered toward your public Trustpilot page and unhappy ones intercepted by a private form, so your public score keeps climbing. Third, automation that fits Shopify order events natively. Fourth, honest pricing without long annual lock-ins or per-domain fees that surprise you at scale. Finally, check that the tool can publish to Trustpilot specifically, not only to its own widget, so the reviews land where shoppers already look for them.

Reviewz vs Trustpilot: feature comparison

Switching from Trustpilot to Reviewz

You do not migrate away from Trustpilot, you add a better engine in front of it. Keep your Trustpilot profile exactly as it is, then install Reviewz on your Shopify store to take over collection. Connect your store so order events trigger requests automatically across WhatsApp, SMS and email. Configure NPS routing so satisfied buyers are guided to leave their review on your public Trustpilot profile, while unhappy buyers reach your private feedback form first. Keep Trustpilot's TrustBox widgets on your storefront to display the results. The outcome is more positive Trustpilot reviews flowing in from more channels, with fewer negative ones reaching the public page. Setup typically takes under an hour.
