Why They Switch

Why businesses choose Laudy over Trustpilot

Google reviews beat Trustpilot for local search

Trustpilot reviews don't show up in Google Maps or local search results. For a local business, Google reviews are what drive phone calls and walk-ins. Laudy sends requests directly to the platforms your customers actually check.

AI responses built in

Trustpilot lets you respond to reviews manually — but there's no AI to help you craft the right response. Laudy generates brand-voice AI responses across Google, Yelp, and Facebook, saving you hours every week.

Price built for real budgets

Trustpilot's paid plans start at $259/month. Most small businesses don't need a global review platform — they need more 5-star Google reviews. Laudy starts free and scales to $49/month.
