Questions

Is Pingsold a TrustMRR alternative?

Not a replacement: they verify different things. TrustMRR verifies revenue from payment providers; Pingsold verifies website traffic from analytics tools. Many founders list on both: revenue shows the business works, traffic shows people are finding it.

Which should I use before I have revenue?

Pingsold. It ranks any startup with a website and connected analytics, so a pre-revenue product with real visitors still gets a verified, public number and a ranking.

Can either one be faked with screenshots?

No. Both read numbers directly from the source with read-only access, so nobody types in their own figures. Pingsold also requires at least 80% of the tracked pageviews to be on the listed domain.
