How to Embed Testimonials on Carrd
Carrd is the indie launch tool. EmbedProof is the indie testimonial tool. Both are flat-priced, both take five minutes, both just work.
Carrd is the indie hacker's secret weapon for shipping landing pages in an afternoon. EmbedProof is the matching tool for the next thing every founder needs — actual customer quotes, not lorem ipsum. Both are flat-priced, both take minutes, both stay out of your way.
This guide walks you through installing the EmbedProof widget on Carrd step by step. The whole thing takes about five minutes — most of which is you sipping coffee while Carrd saves your changes. At the end you'll have a real, customer-collected wall of love on your site for $8/mo, instead of $19-50/mo for Senja or Testimonial.to.
Install steps
- Copy your EmbedProof widget script from the dashboard
- In the Carrd editor, click the + button and add an Embed element
- Set the Type to Code and paste your script tag
- Choose Inline placement so the widget renders where the element sits
- Publish your Carrd site
The snippet
Here's the full script tag you'll paste into Carrd. Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the widget token from your EmbedProof dashboard:
<script src="https://embedproof.app/api/widget/YOUR_TOKEN" data-widget="YOUR_TOKEN"></script>Embed elements require Carrd Pro Standard or higher. The widget is responsive and works on mobile out of the box.
Why EmbedProof on Carrd
- Works with the standard Embed element on Carrd Pro
- Stays inline so it fits your single-page flow
- Tiny payload — keeps your Carrd site as fast as it should be
- Flat $8/mo — same pricing philosophy as Carrd itself
The math vs alternatives
Testimonial.to charges $50/mo. Senja starts at $19/mo and jumps to $39/mo for most useful features. EmbedProof is $8/mo flat — that's $96/year compared to $228-$600/year. For an indie Carrd site doing <$10k MRR, that price gap matters. You can spend the difference on a domain, a logo, and a year of email hosting.
Frequently asked questions
Does it slow down my site?
No. The EmbedProof script is around 4KB gzipped and loads asynchronously, so it doesn't block your Carrd page from rendering. Your Core Web Vitals stay green and your visitors don't notice a thing.
Can I customize the look?
Yes. EmbedProof ships with light and dark themes plus grid, list, and carousel layouts. Everything is configured in the dashboard — no CSS overrides needed inside Carrd.
Do I need technical skills?
If you can paste a single line of HTML into a Carrd embed field, you can install EmbedProof. The whole setup — from creating an account to a live widget on your site — takes about five minutes.
What does it cost?
$8/mo flat, with a 7-day free trial. That's it. No per-testimonial fees, no per-view fees, no upgrades to unlock the widget. Compare that to Testimonial.to at $50/mo or Senja starting at $19/mo.
