TrustStanding vs Judge.me
Judge.me reviews products inside your store. We build the reputation that gets people there.
Judge.me is an excellent, well-priced product-review app — if you already run a Shopify or WooCommerce store. It lives inside that store, collects reviews per product, and shows star ratings on product pages. TrustStanding solves the earlier problem: you're a plumber, a cleaner, a coach or an Instagram seller with no store yet, and you need a credible, verified rating for the business itself. If you do open a store later, you can export your reviews and bring them with you.

The key differences
You don't need a store first
Start collecting reviews while you're still selling through DMs, WhatsApp or a market stall.
Reviews you can take to Shopify later
Growth exports a Shopify-ready CSV, so the trust you build now isn't stranded when you launch a store.
A profile people can search for
Judge.me widgets only appear on your own store. Your TrustStanding profile is discoverable in our directory.
Verification, not just collection
We check business details and stand behind the badge, which is what makes the rating worth showing.
Where Judge.me is the better fit
If your reviews are about individual products on an existing Shopify or WooCommerce store, and you want photo and video reviews on product pages, Judge.me is the right tool for that job.

Frequently asked questions
Should I use Judge.me as well?
If you have a store, yes. Judge.me handles product-level reviews on your product pages; we handle the reputation of the business as a whole.
Will my exported reviews import into Shopify?
Our Growth export produces a CSV shaped for common Shopify review apps. You may need to map a column or two depending on the app you choose.
I only sell on Instagram. Is this for me?
Yes — that's exactly who the free plan is built for. You get a public profile, a review request link and a QR code without needing any website at all.
