How Our Trust Score Works

Every tool on mrreviewai.com has a Trust Score — a number from 0 to 100. Here’s exactly how we calculate it.

The formula

Trust Score = the average of five quality criteria: Value for money, Free plan, Ease of use, Features, and Transparency.

Five criteria. Nothing hidden. Popularity, brand size, and affiliate commissions never affect it.

Our Five Criteria

Each criterion is scored independently based on hands-on testing, then averaged for the final Trust Score:

  • Value for money — what you get for the price
  • Free plan — how usable the tool is before you pay
  • Ease of use — time to first result, learning curve, UI clarity
  • Features — depth and breadth of what the tool can actually do
  • Transparency — clear pricing, honest limitations, no hidden gotchas

Each of the five criteria is weighted equally. No single factor — and no popularity or brand-size metric — can outweigh the others.

What does NOT affect Trust Score

  • Advertising spend — paying us for ads does not move your score
  • Commission rate — tools with higher affiliate payouts do not get higher scores
  • Featured listing status — a Featured badge is cosmetic only
  • Claiming your listing — verification adds a badge but doesn’t change score

Why we publish the formula

Because you should be able to verify it yourself. Transparency isn’t just a feature for us — it’s the whole point.
