Our take
Fuelled by the rise of the consumer voice, Trustpilot started out from the vision that a brand's future is trust and transparency powered.
Since launching, Trustpilot has over 167 million reviews across the 714,000+ websites on its platform, with new reviews being added every single second. The company works hard to make sure customers are reading reviews based on real experiences and take an active stance in combating fake reviews. This includes forming a partnership with Veriff to offer identity verification services to the community.
Trustpilot earns a majority of its revenue from companies that subscribe to its services. This enables companies to collect reviews at key moments in customer journeys, showcase their reviews elsewhere, and unlock customer insights. The company is entering a new period of growth as it navigates a renewed strategic direction, fuelled by a successful IPO in 2021.
