Adrian Blair, CEO of Trustpilot said:

"The Trustpilot platform continues to expand, driving a growth flywheel as more consumers read and write reviews, and more businesses use our products to build trust, grow and improve. In 2024 we focused on B2B product innovation, launching new features combined with new pricing and product packages. As a result, we delivered strong new business growth, combined with a significant improvement in the net dollar retention rate.

New customer acquisition was strong throughout the year across all focus markets, particularly North America, and we are very pleased with the resulting overall growth in bookings of 21% cc, with adjusted EBITDA expected to be ahead of consensus*. We made considerable strategic and operational progress in 2024 and remain confident in the significant growth opportunities ahead."
