Star Stack for Agencies: Show the five stars you already earned, on your own site

Show the five stars you already earned, on your own site.

Agencies pay per-seat and per-client fees that scale with their success. Self-hosted, pay-once tools replace per-seat pricing with a flat cost that margins actually survive.

The tool this job usually means renting is Trustpilot Business, at $199+/mo — roughly $2,388 a year, every year. Star Stack does the job for a one-time $29 — running on infrastructure you control.

🔑 BYO API keys

🛡️ Moderation first

Synced and imported reviews arrive hidden — approve, hide or feature from the dashboard, so nothing goes public without your click.
