Though just once, Capterra does pay. Everything sounds reasonable at first—you leave a review, get a coupon, and it all seems fair. I gave a company I actually liked five stars, and the review was accepted fast. However, when I started evaluating organizations I had actual problems with—ones who, in my view, were like Capterra's partners—those evaluations either vanished or never were published. It truly feels as though they only approve evaluations that either make their associates or themselves look good.

For a program I have been using for more than 3 years, I took a lot of time penning a thorough, honest, and absolutely legitimate review on TrustRadius. I even sent a screen grab and other strong evidence to support it. But let me say what? They hardly gave publishing it much thought either. Rather,...
First of all, I thought Scamadviser was a quite good platform. Thinking I was protecting others, I even utilized it to submit a review about a phoney website myself. But I was surprised to see it ranked so badly today when I checked a website I know for a fact is reputable and well-established. Five...
Using my LinkedIn, I signed into TrustRadius, completed all the necessary forms, and based on actual usage of the tool, produced a strong review. I have done this on other top review sites before, and they had no trouble accepting my reviews—especially when I showed evidence of use. They straight-up...
