Review removal cost calculator: what would your project cost?

A free calculator for the cost of a review removal project with Remove One Star. Choose how many reviews could qualify, from 1 to 150, and the platform: Trustpilot, Google or both. It shows the pack that fits, the price per confirmed removal, the total if every review comes down, and the schedule for that pack.

Every figure comes from the same source as the pricing page. The price per confirmed removal is $600 in a 20-removal pack, $525 in a 50-removal pack and $475 in a 100-removal pack. Nothing is charged up front, and you pay only for the reviews that come down.

How is the price worked out?

There are three packs, and the price per confirmed removal falls as the pack gets larger. The Starter pack holds 20 removals at $600 each. The Growth pack holds 50 at $525 each. The Scale pack holds 100 at $475 each. The calculator picks the smallest pack that holds the number you enter.

A pack is a ceiling, not a commitment. It sets the price per removal and the most the project can cost. It is not a deposit, a minimum or a target. If the audit finds 34 reviews that break a rule, a Growth pack covers them, and you are not asked to find 16 more.

A review that stays online is not billed. That is the whole of the billing rule. A removal counts once the platform has taken the review offline and your proof report shows the link now leads to an error page. Until then it is a case, not a charge.

So the number the calculator shows is the most the project can cost, and most projects cost less. Nothing is charged up front, and the audit that produces the count is free.

What changes the number?

One thing changes it: how many of your reviews break a named rule. Not how many are negative, not how many are unfair, and not how many you want gone.

That surprises most owners, because the two counts feel like they should match. They rarely do. On a healthy profile the majority of 1-star reviews are real complaints from real customers, and Trustpilot keeps those online. A slow delivery, a bad refund, a rude call: all of that is allowed, and none of it is a removal.

What moves a review into the count is a fact in the review itself. Another person's name. A phone number or a promo code. A claim about a different business. Content that breaks the law. A sign that the writer was never a customer. Those are the reviews a flag can name a rule for.

The size of your profile matters less than you would think. A brand with 5,000 reviews and a careful complaints process can have fewer qualifying reviews than a brand with 400 and a competitor problem. The count comes from reading, not from volume.

This is why the calculator asks for a count rather than guessing one from your star rating. If you do not have a count, the free audit reads your profile and returns one, with the rule each review breaks and a list of the reviews that stay.

What is not in the price?

There is no setup fee. There is no monthly retainer, and no contract that runs on after the work. The audit costs nothing, whether or not you buy a pack, and it is the same audit either way.

There is no charge for a review the platform keeps online. It appears in your report as kept online, with the decision attached, and it is not billed. There is no research fee, no filing fee and no admin fee behind it.

There is also no charge for the proof. Every case is logged with the original screenshot and the review's link, and you can open that link yourself to check it. Reporting is part of the work, not an upgrade.

What you pay for is a confirmed removal, at the price your pack sets. That is the only line on the invoice.

How does this compare to what other firms charge?

Published figures vary widely, and most firms do not publish any. Our cost page collects the prices and ranges that are public, with the source and the date each one was read. It puts our packs in the same table, so you can see where they sit.

We do not repeat competitor figures here. A price copied once and left for a year stops being true, and the cost page is the one place we keep that comparison current.

Two things are worth checking on any quote, whoever writes it. Is there money due before a review comes down? And what happens when the platform keeps a review online? A fixed fee and a per-removal fee can look similar on the day you sign and end up very far apart.

Does Google cost the same as Trustpilot?

Yes. The packs, the prices and the billing rule are identical on both platforms, and one pack can hold both. A 50-removal pack can cover 30 Trustpilot reviews and 20 Google reviews.

The work behind the two is not identical. Trustpilot has five flagging reasons and a flagging tool inside your business account. Google has a longer list of content policies and its own reporting route, plus an appeal path we use where a case is strong. Our Google review removal page sets out that side in full.

The pricing stays the same because the unit is the same. One review, off the internet, confirmed with proof.
