Know before you buy.
TrustDots is your independent AI shopping agent — built to answer the one question that matters most: Can I trust this product?
We scan public records, regulatory filings, court documents, and supply chain data to give you a real picture of any brand or product. No brand can pay to influence your score. No sponsored placements. Just the truth.
HOW IT WORKS
Tell TrustDots what you're shopping for. Or scan a barcode, share a product URL, or snap a photo. In seconds you get:
• A color-coded Trust Score (0–100)
• A 5-factor breakdown behind the score
• Evidence cards with sources, dates, and regulatory references
• Recall and violation alerts from CPSC, FDA, and more
WHAT WE CHECK
TrustDots scores brands across 30+ independent factors — then surfaces the ones that matter most for what you're buying. Each score highlights up to 5 key signals, which may include:
• Safety & Product Risk — recalls, violations, lawsuits, ingredient transparency
• Truthfulness & Accountability — honesty, greenwashing signals, how brands handle problems
• Ethics & Human Impact — labor standards, human rights, animal welfare
• Environment & Sourcing — sustainability record, supply chain transparency
• Politics & Power — political influence and regulatory accountability
The factors shown adapt to the product and brand.
THREE WAYS TO GET A SCORE
→ Share a product from your Amazon, Target, or any retailer's app
→ Scan a barcode — we read it instantly
→ Snap or share a product photo
BUILT FOR REAL SHOPPERS
Know about recalls before they hit the news. Spot shell brands and private-label risks. Compare two products side by side. Whether you're buying for yourself, your family, or your home — TrustDots gives you the context retailers won't show you.
INDEPENDENT BY DESIGN
Brands cannot pay to appear on TrustDots. Scores cannot be purchased, boosted, or removed. Every finding is sourced from public records — and we show you exactly where each one came from.
Shop smarter. Trust what you buy.
I downloaded TrustDots on a whim while standing in the baby aisle, and now I scan almost everything. You point the camera at a barcode and get one clear score out of 100, plus the reasoning behind it — brand track record, ingredients, real (not fake) reviews, certifications, and how transparent the supply chain is. No ads, no sponsored nudges, just evidence. The watchlist and pantry tracking are a nice bonus for repeat buys, and it still works when the store Wi-Fi doesn't. It's made me second-guess a few "clean" labels and feel a lot better about the stuff I keep buying. Highly recommend.
Shopping Smarter With Each Scan

I love that I can scan a barcode or type in a product or company name and quickly get more information before buying. My favorite feature is being able to search for a product from any major retailer, share it to TrustDots, and get an instant score.It’s been really eye-opening to see things I never knew about brands I use regularly. Now I’m seeing who really owns the companies I thought were independent 🤯 It helps me make more conscious choices about where I spend my money. Now I’m just out here scanning everything I see 🤣

This app is a game changer for anyone who wants to shop smarter. I love being able to quickly check a product or brand and see information about recalls, lawsuits, ethics, and safety all in one place. The Trust Score makes it easy to understand at a glance, and the detailed sources help me feel confident in my decisions. It's simple to use, informative, and gives me peace of mind before making a purchase. Highly recommend!
Trust: The Quality Metric

TrustDots impresses with its ability to educate consumers while delivering against the best quality metric a seller strives to achieve, trust. Using the app has me more informed and curious about what I buy and from whom. Once you see it, you can’t unsee, and TrustDots will quickly become the first twinkle in your shopping intuition. Can’t wait to see how the shopping experience continues to evolve
Improved onboarding and search, fixed splash-screen clipping and duplicate notification prompts, and refined notification behavior.
