What Is a Trust Score?
Every reviewer on amino.reviews has a trust score — a number from 0 to 100 that reflects how reliable their reviews are. Trust scores help the community quickly gauge the credibility of any review they read.
How Trust Scores Are Calculated
Trust scores are computed from several factors:
- Review count — More reviews means more data points. Reviewers who consistently contribute build higher trust.
- Review quality — Detailed reviews with specific product mentions, photos, and thoughtful analysis earn more trust than one-liner ratings.
- Community feedback — Reviews that receive "Helpful" votes from other users signal quality, which feeds back into the reviewer's score.
- Account age and verification — Established accounts with verified email addresses start from a stronger baseline.
- Consistency — Reviewers who maintain a consistent pattern of honest, detailed feedback over time score higher than those with erratic rating patterns.
How to Improve Your Trust Score
Tip: Write detailed reviews that mention specific products, describe your actual experience, and include relevant photos. Quality matters more than quantity.
- Write reviews for vendors you've actually purchased from
- Include specifics: product names, shipping times, packaging quality, test results
- Be honest and balanced — mention both positives and negatives
- Verify your email address
- Contribute consistently over time
Trust scores are recalculated daily, so improvements you make will be reflected within 24 hours.
