Bona

Reviews with a receipt.

Every review on Bona is checked against a real Stripe transaction before it publishes. No account, no self-reported purchase, no way for the business to fake it.

The problem

Businesses can't trust review platforms. Customers can't trust reviews.

Platforms like Trustpilot and G2 charge for placement and let businesses suppress what they don't like. Nothing proves the reviewer was ever a real customer. Indie SaaS founders feel this the most — customers offer to leave a review, and there's nowhere credible to send them.

How it works

Stripe already knows the transaction happened.

It has no incentive to fake a review and no reason to take sides. Bona reads a business's own Stripe data — read-only, nothing more — to confirm a reviewer is a real, paying customer before their review ever goes live.

01
The business shares an entry link, never the review link. Bona resolves the customer and emails the actual token privately.
02
A free trial with nothing paid doesn't qualify — only a real, paid invoice can trigger a review request.
03
Bona tracks refund patterns per business as an ongoing signal — never tied to a specific review or reviewer.
04
Once published, a review is never deleted — not even by Bona.

On the page

Churned customers get the same badge.

An ex-customer gives the most honest review a business will ever get, and no business will invite them on its own. Bona includes them anyway — same badge, same footing as anyone still subscribed.
