"Review filtering" means asking a customer how it went before showing the review buttons. Google's policy forbids it. "Not explained" means the vendor names a filter and never describes it.
The limits Broadly publishes itself
Taken from our Broadly review, where each one is sourced to their own pages.
- $399 a month before the $350 setup fee.
- Their own page contradicts itself. The AI Workforce FAQ says there are no setup fees while 3 plans each list $350 onboarding.
- "Get Started For Free" buttons with no trial length or terms published.
- The voice receptionist is capped at 300 minutes a month, then about 10 cents a minute.
- No review source count published. The 70 or more figure is listings, not reviews.
11 alternatives, in order
1. FiveStariz
$19 a month. free plan, email asks.
Ours. It does the asking and nothing else, for $19 a month and no setup fee. It will not answer your phone or build your website, which is most of what Broadly is.
2. NiceJob
$75 a month. 14 day trial.
Far cheaper than Broadly for the same core job. It runs referral campaigns and sells a website product alongside.
3. Reviewgrower
$37 a month. real free plan.
This is the big saving on the page. It includes a map rank tracker, and has a real free plan.
4. TrueReview
$29 a month. 250 free sends.
A fraction of what Broadly costs. It gives you 250 real sends inside the trial.
5. HiFiveStar
$39 a month. free plan cannot send.
Far cheaper than Broadly for the same core job. It drafts replies, can post them to Google for you, and collects video testimonials.
6. GatherUp
$99 a month. 14 day trial.
This is the big saving on the page. It adds surveys and keyword tagging, and watches 100 or more sites.
7. Signpost
No published price. none mentioned.
They publish no price, so expect a form and a call. It answers your phone, with AI and with people.
8. Podium
$399 a month. none mentioned.
About the same money as Broadly. It runs webchat, texting, phone calls and payments from 1 inbox.
9. Thryv
$228 a month. none published.
A little cheaper than Broadly. It wraps CRM, scheduling and invoicing around the reviews.
10. Chekkit
Free, then $149 a month. free for 1 user.
A fraction of what Broadly costs. It adds webchat and texting, and is free for 1 user.
11. Reply Champion
$10 a month. 7 day trial.
Far cheaper than Broadly for the same core job. It publishes the lowest price on this page, and an anti gating policy with it.
How we picked these
- We read the price on each company's own website on 18 October 2026 and wrote down the date. Nothing came from a blog or a comparison article.
- Where a company publishes no price, the list says so instead of repeating a figure from somewhere else.
- We checked each one for review filtering, and we quote the vendor's own words rather than guessing.
- We left in the tools that beat us, and said what they do better.
- We put our own product on the list and labelled it, because hiding that would make this an advert.
Prices change. Check the vendor's own page before you decide anything.
