Reviews should
mean something.
VerdictPlus exists because most review platforms optimize for volume over truth. We built the opposite; a smaller number of reviews you can actually trust, from people who actually showed up.
A note from our founders
We built VerdictPlus because we wanted a review platform where the number next to a business actually meant something — earned through real experiences, protected from abuse, and honest even when it isn't flattering.”
Four principles, not four bullet points.
These aren't values on a wall. Every product decision we make gets tested against them.
Verified, always
Every review is tied to a real account. No anonymous posting. No pay-to-remove. No exceptions.
Fair to businesses
Owners can reply publicly to any review; and we give real weight to dispute resolution, not just the star count.
Privacy respected
Reviewers control what's public. We never sell personal data, and we never will.
Built for decisions
We optimize for someone making a genuinely better choice; not for keeping people scrolling.
Four years, one obsession.
A short history of the decisions that shaped VerdictPlus.
2023
Founded
Started with a simple frustration
After one too many five-star products that turned out to be nothing like their reviews, we sketched out a platform where a review would mean someone actually bought the thing.
2024
Verification
The verification system ships
Every review on VerdictPlus now requires a linked account and, where possible, proof of interaction with the business. Review volume dropped. Review quality changed everything.
2025
Tools
Business tools expanded
Widgets, review invitations, and analytics shipped; so owners could finally act on feedback instead of just reading it.
2026
Today
38,000+ businesses, 4.6M+ reviews
Now serving shoppers and business owners across 180+ countries; still independent, still profitable, still obsessed with the same problem.
How we make money.
A reviews company that isn't upfront about its business model isn't worth trusting. So here's ours, in plain English.
Paid business plans
Businesses pay for tools that help them act on feedback: invitations, widgets, analytics, and AI summaries. The core profile is always free.
Enterprise integrations
Large multi-location brands pay for API access, SSO, and roll-up dashboards across hundreds of branches.
TrustScore verification
Third parties sometimes pay for independent verification of a business's reputation. Our methodology is public and ungameable by payment.
What we will never do
- Sell review placement or ranking
- Remove negative reviews for a fee
- Share reviewer data with businesses
- Run ads against review content
