The short version

  • Only Trustpilot has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Mollie non-European cards cost 3.25% plus 20p against 1.20% plus 20p for UK domestic consumer cards, so a merchant with significant traffic from the US or Asia pays close to triple the domestic rate on that revenue.; 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: Mollie covers Local payment methods, Trustpilot covers Review collection.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Mollie

  • Non-European cards cost 3.25% plus 20p against 1.20% plus 20p for UK domestic consumer cards, so a merchant with significant traffic from the US or Asia pays close to triple the domestic rate on that revenue.
  • Coverage is built around European methods, so if you expand into Latin America or Southeast Asia you will need a second processor and a second reconciliation process rather than extending Mollie.
  • The in-person Pro plan requires a one-year contract and charges 20 pounds a month per additional terminal, so a shop with four tills pays 80 pounds a month in terminal fees before any transaction cost.
  • Mollie offers no interchange-plus option publicly, so large merchants cannot see or benefit from falling interchange the way they could on a cost-plus contract with an acquirer.
  • The developer tooling and reporting are lighter than the largest processors, so finance teams that want detailed fee breakdowns or granular reconciliation exports often end up building that layer themselves.

Trustpilot

  • Review invitations are rationed monthly, at 50 on free, 100 on Starter and 300 on Plus, so collecting reviews is the metered resource
  • The Plus and Premium plans are priced per domain, so a second brand doubles the cost
  • Starter at $99 a month billed annually allows one user, two widgets and one domain
  • Customising the public profile to match a brand requires the Plus plan at $319 a month
  • Sentiment analysis and custom dashboards are Premium only at $799 a month
  • Every published price requires annual billing

Yes, 30p per transaction regardless of the amount, which is why it is cheaper than cards on high-value baskets.

All Trustpilot contracts require a 12-month commitment, prepaid annually. This applies to Starter, Plus, Premium, and Enterprise plans.

Source
Mollie: Can I use Mollie outside Europe?

You can accept non-European cards but at 3.25% plus 20p, and merchant accounts are aimed at European businesses. It is not a global processor.

Mollie: Does Mollie do interchange plus?

Not publicly. The published rates are blended, so falling interchange does not flow through to you automatically.

Trustpilot: Can data be accessed after canceling Trustpilot?

Yes. Trustpilot states that 'Reviews remain accessible if service is discontinued,' ensuring customers retain access to collected review data even after canceling.
