The self-hosted Trustpilot alternative
Revup — Self-hosted review requests for local service businesses: ratings at or above your threshold go to your public review page, and anything below it lands in a private inbox instead. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Trustpilot every month.
Stop renting Trustpilot
1 month of Trustpilot equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The entry paid tier, on the annual commitment the page states, and every figure is a "from" — the vendor says elsewhere on the same page that price varies with business size, domain and annual revenue. The comparison is a straight one: Trustpilot Starter is $99 a month for one domain and 100 invitations; Revup is $99 once, for unlimited requests, on your own server.
How Trustpilot pricing grows with you
Trustpilot meters by DOMAIN and by review invitations per month, and prices every tier as a "from" that varies with your revenue.

What Trustpilot does that we don't
Trustpilot is a public review platform with its own audience and trust marks — a destination customers already read, which no self-hosted tool can be.

Who should stay with Trustpilot
Stay with Trustpilot if the point is a public profile on a site buyers already trust, with its widgets and marketing assets. Revup is the request mechanism only: ratings at or above your threshold go to your public review page, anything below lands in a private inbox instead — bought once, and it owns no audience. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Trustpilot
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Trustpilot's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Revup vs Trustpilot comparison.
