  • Only Trustpilot has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 3dcart limited scalability compared to enterprise e-commerce platforms; Trustpilot review invitations are rationed monthly, at 50 on free, 100 on Starter and 300 on Plus, so collecting reviews is the metered resource
  • They diverge on capability: 3dcart covers Store builder, Trustpilot covers Review collection.
