How TrustGetter compares
There are two real alternatives to us: a full reviews platform, or a free plugin for your website. Here is the difference, what we do that they do not, and where we are the wrong choice.
| TrustGetter See live pricing | A reviews platform Typically $30–$400/mo | A free plugin Free–$79/yr | |

Our prices are read live from the same configuration our billing charges from. The other two columns are advertised list prices for a single small business, checked by hand in August 2026 — they move, so confirm before you buy.
Three things that are genuinely different
It will not slow your site down
One small script — under 8KB over the wire, with no jQuery and no libraries behind it. It loads after your page rather than blocking it, so your reviews appear without costing you the page speed you have already paid for in search rankings.
Your site cannot break it
The widget renders inside its own isolated shadow root with every style it needs pinned to itself. Your theme, your CSS reset and any plugin you add later cannot reach inside and distort it — the failure that turns most embedded widgets into a support ticket.
Nothing about your visitors is tracked
The widget sets no cookies and records nothing about the people who visit your website. There is no analytics in it to switch off, so it adds nothing to your cookie policy and nothing to your consent banner.
When TrustGetter is the wrong choice
You want help getting more reviews
We display the Google reviews you already have. We do not email your customers or run campaigns to collect new ones. If that is the job you are hiring for, a full reviews platform is the right product and worth what it costs.
You need more than one Google listing
One widget shows one listing. If you need several review sites mixed into a single wall, or dozens of locations rolled into one score, we are not built for that today.
See it on your own site first
The free plan is a real plan. Connect your listing, build a widget and paste it in — then decide whether it is worth paying for.
