Reviews

We review the tools we compete with

We make review request software, so we are not neutral and we will not pretend to be. What we can do is read every price on the company's own website, say the date we read it, and leave in the parts where they beat us.

60 tools below. 11 of them will not tell you the price without a sales call, which is worth knowing before you book one.

What we learned reading all of them

  • Over a third publish no price at all. A form and a phone call is the whole pricing page.
  • Per location is how this industry charges, and the published rates run from $8 to $80 a location. Ours is $5 from 10.
  • Several products ask the customer how the job went before they show the review buttons. Google's policy says a business may not "selectively solicit positive reviews from customers". We never built it.
  • The review tool bundled with your job software is often not free. Jobber charges $39 a month for it, which is more than our whole product.

Every price read on each company's own website on 18 October 2026. Prices change, so check theirs before you decide.

For completeness

Checked, and we could not write a review

Naming these is more useful than pretending we covered them.

ToolWhy there is no page
ReviewPilot
reviewpilot.com
Not a live product. The site is a "We're under construction" placeholder on a website builder template.

The domain does not resolve at all, so there is nothing to review.
Sunaam

A "Launching Soon" placeholder page. No product, no features and no pricing.
ReviewBuzz

A real product, but their pricing page returns a not found error, so we could not read a price.
Whitespark Reputation Builder

A real product, but their site refuses automated visits. We will not quote a price we have not read. This one needs a human with a normal browser.
