The self-hosted Trustpilot alternative
Revup: Self-hosted review requests for local service businesses: every customer who rates is shown your public review page, and ratings below your threshold are also offered a private message to you. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Trustpilot every month.
Stop renting Trustpilot.
Revup1 month of Trustpilot costs what Revup costs once.
Buy onceHow we counted: 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.
Trustpilot meters by DOMAIN and by review invitations per month, and prices every tier as a "from" that varies with your revenue.

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.

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: every customer who rates is shown your public review page, and ratings below your threshold are also offered a private message — bought once, and it owns no audience.
What Revup deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting Trustpilot.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in Trustpilot's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Revup vs renting comparison.
