ADPList Reviews

Site	Rating	Reviews	What it really measures
Trustpilot	4.7 / 5 (homepage still says 4.5)	219; 213 of them in the last 12 months	Self-selected reviewers: 81% five-star, about 9 of 219 one-star^{[1] [5]}
Product Hunt	5.0 / 5	3, from 2023 to 2024	Too few reviews to judge quality^[3]
Hacker News	No star rating	9 comments, 2021 to 2025	Recommendations; no comment describes a paid session, a no-show or a privacy problem^[4]

Good ratings, but they say little about paid sessions

Trustpilot’s 4.7 is high, and most of its reviews are recent. Of 219 reviews, 213 were written in the last 12 months, so the score reflects how ADPList works now rather than in 2021. ^[1]

The score says little about the session itself. The reviews that praise ADPList describe booking and the mentor, not what was taught. The only community comments on Hacker News are recommendations, and none describes a paid session. ^{[1] [4]}

The homepage still quotes 4.5 while Trustpilot shows 4.7. Use the live Trustpilot figure, and read the reviews, not the headline score. ^{[5] [1]}

Reviews cluster on a few profiles

The homepage lists 11 featured profiles with 794 reviews between them. One profile holds 369 of those reviews, which is 46.5%. The other ten hold 425 reviews, so a high score on the homepage can rest on one mentor. ^[5]

Judge a mentor by their own reviews, not by the featured set, and check the price on the profile before you book. A mentor with 20 recent reviews tells you more about the next session than the platform average does.

What happy reviewers say

The positive reviews repeat three things: booking is easy, the mentor is warm, and people book a second session. That comes from a sample of about 20 reviews on page 2 of Trustpilot, written from September to October 2026, so it describes the tone of the reviews rather than the quality of the advice. ^[2]

What unhappy reviewers say

Trustpilot’s one-star reviews come from about 9 of 219 people. They describe mentors who did not join or left early, messaging failures and paused profiles. The complaints page explains how each one usually ends. ^[1]

Problem	Who it hits	How often (Trustpilot, Oct to Nov 2026)	How bad it gets
Mentor did not join, or left early	Mentees	Part of about 9 of 219 one-star reviews	A review from 28 Oct 2026 says the mentor joined muted and the session expired. ADPList says the mentor had briefly joined
Messaging failures	Mentees	Part of the same 9	The reviews name the failure without detail
Paused profiles	Mentees	Part of the same 9	The reviews don’t say what happened to bookings already made
Questions not covered	Mentees	1 of 3-star reviews (30 Oct 2026)	The mentor followed the conversation, not the question list. ADPList offered direct contact
Paid and free sessions look confusing	Mentees	1 of 4-star reviews (27 Oct 2026)	The reviewer asked for longer free sessions ^[1]

Don’t take 4.7 at face value

ADPList replies to negative reviews on Trustpilot, according to Trustpilot’s summary of the profile. Reviews are requested after a session and shown on approved profiles. ADPList publishes no aggregate review count, only per-mentor counts. ^{[1] [6]}

How to read ADPList reviews before you book

Start with the mentor’s own reviews and the date on each. Then search for the one thing you need, such as whether the mentor answered a question someone sent in advance. A review that describes your problem tells you more than the total score.
