Prices last checked: · By George Ryder, maker of TryTestimonials
TryTestimonials is for small businesses, coaches and freelancers who want written testimonials on their website without learning a marketing tool. It's text only, on purpose.
The short version
Choose Testimonial.to if…
video testimonials are central to what you want, you'd like to import posts from X and LinkedIn, or you want widgets without a badge on the free plan. Its higher plans add brand monitoring, NPS surveys and SOC 2 compliance, so it also suits larger teams.
Choose TryTestimonials if…
you collect written testimonials for a small business and want more walls for less: Pro is $19 a month with 3 walls. Testimonial.to's Starter plan is $25 a month for 1 space, and more spaces need its Ultimate plan at $50 a month per space.

What Testimonial.to offers that we don't
- Video testimonials. Testimonial.to is built around video, with unlimited video testimonials on its Ultimate plans. TryTestimonials only collects text.
- No badge on free widgets. Testimonial.to lists white-label widgets on its free plan. Our free plan shows a small “Powered by” link, which only Pro removes.
- Imports. Its free plan imports posts from X and LinkedIn, and paid plans import from more review sites. TryTestimonials has no imports. You add the ones you already have by hand.
- Features for larger companies. Higher plans add an API, Zapier and Make, brand monitoring, automated email invitations, NPS surveys, SSO and SOC 2 compliance. TryTestimonials is made for small businesses and has none of these.
Where TryTestimonials is better
- More walls for less. Pro gives you 3 walls for $19 a month, for example one per service or per website. On Testimonial.to, more than one space needs Ultimate, at $50 a month per space.
- A free plan that keeps collecting. Testimonial.to's free plan has 10 text testimonials in total. On ours you can collect as many as you like, and your site shows the 15 newest you've approved.
- Written testimonials, done well. Because TryTestimonials only does written testimonials, the customer's side is one short form on their phone: three prompts, a box and a send button, with no camera, microphone or account. The prompts ask about the problem, the experience and the result, so you get specific quotes that visitors can skim in seconds and believe.
- Less to learn for you. There are three steps: send a link, approve what comes back, paste two lines into your site. You get ready-made messages to send, a printable QR code, and step-by-step guides for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, Framer and Carrd. It's built for owners who don't want to learn a marketing tool.
- Private and light. The widget sets no cookies, doesn't track the people who see it, and loads no web fonts or images, so it won't slow your pages down. Customers' IP addresses are only ever stored as a one-way hash, to stop spam.
- A person answers your email. Write to george@trytestimonials.com and George Ryder, who builds TryTestimonials, replies. There's no ticket queue or chatbot in the way.
Questions
Can I bring my testimonials over from Testimonial.to?
There's no automatic import. You can add testimonials you already have by hand, as long as the customer agreed to them being shared: up to 5 on the free plan, and as many as you like on Pro. They go straight onto your wall, marked “Added by you” in your inbox.
Why doesn't TryTestimonials do video?
Because we think a good written testimonial does the job better for most small businesses. It takes your customer a minute on their phone, where filming themselves takes nerve and retakes. Visitors can skim it in seconds, and a quote that names a real problem and result is easy to believe, while some visitors are wary of polished videos now that actors can be hired to record them. Leaving video out also keeps your widget tiny, so your pages stay fast. If video matters most to you, Testimonial.to is a good choice.
Do I need a card to start?
No. Sign in with Google and you're on the free plan, for as long as you like. Upgrade only if you need more.
