Does trustpilot.com block AI crawlers?

Yes, 7 of 17. As of October 19, 2026, trustpilot.com's robots.txt blocks anthropic-ai, Perplexity-User, Applebot-Extended, Bytespider, Amazonbot, cohere-ai and Diffbot from the whole site. It keeps the other 10 out of parts of the site. 15 of them are named in a group of their own; the others follow its rules for every crawler.

We did not request /llms.txt: robots.txt does not allow ContextFetchBot to fetch it. robots.txt does not allow ContextFetchBot to fetch the homepage, so we did not measure it.

Each crawler, by its robots.txt rules

From https://www.trustpilot.com/robots.txt (25,101 bytes, 46 user-agent groups), parsed per RFC 9309. Blocked: no path allowed. Partly blocked: some paths disallowed. The rule counts are those of the groups that apply.
