How Trust Score Works

User-based Trust Score calculated from verified trader reviews

PropFirmsTrust does NOT rate or score prop firms. All scoring comes exclusively from user reviews. Trust Score is the average of user ratings (1–5) across 11 categories.

100% User-Driven

Trust Score = average of user ratings only. Scale: 1–5 stars.

There is NO editorial score. There is NO manual assessment. PropFirmsTrust does not rate firms—users do.

Admin can only moderate spam/abuse. Admin CANNOT edit Trust Score or category ratings.

How to Interpret Trust Scores

Highly Rated

4.0 – 5.0

Users report positive experiences. Check individual reviews for details.

Mixed Reviews

3.0 – 3.9

Users have mixed experiences. Read reviews carefully before committing.

Lower Rated

Below 3.0

Users report concerns. Research thoroughly before purchasing.

Important: The more reviews a firm has, the more reliable its Trust Score. A firm with 50 reviews is more reliable than one with 2 reviews. Always check the review count alongside the score.

Admin Permissions (Strict)

Admin CAN: Delete spam reviews, hide violating reviews, edit firm metadata (name, description, platform, market type)

Admin CANNOT: Edit Trust Score, edit category ratings, influence ranking in any way
