XING Reviews

Most complaints are about money

Trustpilot rates XING 2.1 out of 5, and 81% of its 1,065 reviews give one star. Trustpilot does not verify reviews, and XING's page says it has not recently invited reviews, so the sample leans toward people with a grievance. ^[1]

The complaints cluster around money. On one Trustpilot page covering January 2018 to March 2019, 19 of 24 reviews mention billing, subscriptions, cancellation or debt collection: billing 16, subscription 15, cancellation 11, debt collection 6. A German page from February 2025 to October 2026 shows a different mix across 24 reviews: spam 6, cancellation 5, subscription 4, account problems 4, billing 2, deletion 2. Trustpilot does not tag topics, so these groupings are a rough reading of each review. ^{[2] [3]}

What the few happy reviewers say

Praise is rare. Three or four reviews from 2023 to 2025 say a paid product, Premium or ProJobs, helped them get hired. On a German page from 2025, about four people found the AI job search useful, while others find its swipe feature odd. These are small numbers, and they come from people who had a result to report. ^{[1] [4]}

What the unhappy reviewers say, and how often

Each count below is the number of reviewers in the sample, not a share of all reviews. They show what goes wrong and how often it came up, so you can judge whether your situation looks like theirs.

Do not read 2.1 as a verdict on the job board

Trustpilot is where people go after a charge goes wrong, so it overweights billing. A member who found work through XING may never write a review. Use the score to decide how careful to be with billing, not to decide whether the job search will work for you. ^[1]

How to read XING reviews before you pay

Sort the reviews into two piles: billing and cancellation, and everything else. If the first pile worries you, read the dates, then read the renewal complaints before you start any trial. If the second pile matters, look for reviewers who had a result, not only a complaint.
