What Is the Difference Between a Reference and a Review?
References are the clients you submit on Clutch to begin the review process. Reviews refer to the published reviews that are visible in the reviews section of your Clutch profile.
You can track the status of your references and get updates as each reference converts into a client review. Once a review is published for a submitted reference, the reference will no longer display on your dashboard since the reference process is complete. Each review includes a full-length write-up and star ratings.
