Common questions.

What happens when I exceed my 10 intro / month limit? +
Upgrading to the Super Connector tier ($49/mo) removes all limits entirely and adds full analytics and the Personal Introduction Link.
Do recipients need a Trusio account to accept an introduction? +
No. Recipients receive a Magic Link via email and can Accept or Decline without creating any account. This is by design — requiring account creation would add friction and reduce acceptance rates, lowering the quality of the network. The first session after accepting is a gentle invitation to join.
How is the Connector Score protected from gaming? +
The score is derived from real outcomes, not activity volume. Acceptance Rate rewards only introductions where both parties choose to connect — every spam or low-relevance intro lowers this. Value Ratings are collected anonymously 48 hours post-connection, ensuring the score reflects actual professional utility. Consistency requires sustained activity across 30, 60, and 90-day windows, preventing one-off spikes.
What is the Verified Connector Badge and how do I earn it? +
The Verified Connector Badge ($49/yr) is a premium credibility signal available to any user with a Connector Score of 800 or above. It appears on every introduction you send, signaling to recipients that your track record has been verified by the platform — significantly increasing acceptance likelihood. It's earned through consistent, high-quality activity — not purchased as a perk.
Can I switch plans at any time? +
Yes. You can upgrade at any time and the prorated credit is applied immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. Your Connector Score and introduction history are never affected by plan changes — they belong to your professional record permanently.
Is Trusio available globally? +
Yes — Trusio works anywhere professionals make introductions. The platform is built for professionals anywhere warm introductions matter. Trusio is founded in Pulaski, VA and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — and designed from the start for networks that cross geographies.

when you're ready.

No credit card required. The founding cohort of 50 is hand-curated — those who prove their quality over 30 days of active use earn lifetime Super Connector access. Once the cohort is full, standard pricing applies.
