    Chose PowerReviews
    PowerReview has the questions and answers as well as syndication network which helps user-generated-content. Trustpilot just provides reviews (at least that's what we used).

    Chose PowerReviews
    We've stayed with PowerReviews over the years partially due to development priorities, but they offer a very good value for the product. Trustpilot has a good platform as well, but we haven't had a strong enough reason to change.

    PowerReviews
    Any site with e-commerce should have reviews if possible, to give users the confidence necessary to click "add to cart." PowerReviews is easy to implement and has highly customizable display possibilities. I would recommend them to a mid to large enterprise looking for a scalable solution. Small businesses might be able to use a more stripped down tool.

    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.

    Cons
    PowerReviews
    • If you lack basic coding knowledge (or don't have someone on your team to set this up) it may be a bit of a challenge to get started.
    • The backend has a bit of a learning curve to it, but can be worked through easily with persistence.

    • Removing inaccurate/faulty reviews. It's hard to talk to people about removing some inaccurate reviews.
    • Product reviews should be visible on search engines too.
    • Review requests email templates are not the best.

    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.

    My experience was with simple software like Google My Business, but for some Reviews & Ratings, it was good enough and supplied my demand. Once the Google world is one of the bests environments for initial and small businesses, I think using their tools someway we can sound better. If it's not the case PowerReviews will serve as well.

    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.

    • We've seen an increase in CTR and CVR while lowering our CPAs using our reviews in our display and social media ads.
    • Integrating the star rating with our Google Ads was automatic and we saw a lift in CTR when the stars were added.
    • We saw an uptick in traffic in from our Trustpilot review page to our website.
