Reviews.io vs. Trustpilot

Reviews.io is a great option for any ecommerce site that is looking to gather company and product reviews to help make the customer purchasing decision easier. Their BCC integration appears to make it possible to use their services with any platform so long as you can edit the email order confirmation templates.

TrustPilot cannot be trusted. They have consistently removed reviews since I started with them. At first I thought it was a one or two off situation. We recently launched an "ask for reviews" initiative and got several positive reviews and TrustPilot removed all of them, without recourse. This hurts us really badly and initiates drawn-out emails with our customers. TrustPilot is wrong about legitimate reviews and has no clean way to resolve that. They hurt our customer relationships more than helped.

It's expensive and customer service is not the best.

We had to reach out a few times during the setup process and we never had to wait more than a few minutes to get a response via their online chat. When a more in-depth answer was required they followed up via email and pulled in other team members when necessary.

I've rarely had issues and needed support. During the implementation phase we relied on their support heavily and they were very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. Any questions I've had have been answered promptly by my account manager. They also have a great knowledgebase for self-service support.

Reviews.io has a similar product offering as the other well known review collection companies. However, they are much more competitive in terms of pricing and that was a big influence on our decision to go with them. They also have a library of widgets you can choose from and customize to make publishing reviews on your website very easy. It's not a cookie cutter solution, which we really like.

Selected Trustpilot because of superior integration with the website and Google SERPS. Again, my only complaint would be Trustpilot was relatively more expensive than the other technologies.
