ShowTrust vs Testimonial.to
Testimonial.to is the category veteran — mature, video-first, and priced like it. ShowTrust is the stripped-down, developer-friendly option: a lightweight, no-iframe widget, a hosted collection page, and Pro at $4.99/mo instead of $25–$80. Here's an honest, side-by-side look.
Testimonial.to popularised the hosted "Wall of Love" and is the name most founders reach for first. It's a genuinely capable, mature product — especially for video — and its paid plans reflect that, starting at $25/mo and climbing to $80/mo.
ShowTrust takes the opposite stance: do the 90% that actually moves conversion — collect text testimonials, curate them, and embed a fast wall of love — for next to nothing. Pro is $4.99/mo, the free tier has no testimonial cap, and the widget is a lightweight (~5kb) script that renders without an iframe and is styled to match your site rather than boxing your testimonials inside a frame.

If you mostly need text testimonials, a fast embeddable wall, and a low price, yes — ShowTrust covers that for $4.99/mo with an uncapped free tier. If video testimonials are central to your funnel today, Testimonial.to is the more complete choice while ShowTrust's video support is still coming soon.
Substantially. ShowTrust Pro is $4.99/mo (or $49.99/yr), while Testimonial.to's paid plans run $25–$80/mo. For a solo founder or small SaaS that mainly needs text social proof, that's a 5–16× difference for overlapping core features.
Not yet. Text and star-rating testimonials work today; in-browser video recording is on the roadmap and labelled coming soon. If video is a must-have right now, Testimonial.to has shipped it for years.
The ShowTrust widget is a lightweight (~5kb) async script that renders without an iframe and is styled to match your brand, so it tends to be lighter and blends with your design better than a boxed iframe embed.
