Review platformsG2 badges explained: which ones you can earn, and what they cost
Two G2 badges come with a published number. Users Love Us at 20 reviews and a 4.0 average, and AI Users Trust at 25 responses. Everything else, the Leader badge included, is a ranking against your category. And since June 2025, most badges cost money to display even after you have earned them.
