Chekkit review

Webchat, texting and review requests for local business, with a free forever plan for 1 user.

Written by the team at FiveStariz, who sell a competing product. Every number here was read on chekkit.io on 18 October 2026. We say where they beat us.

The short answer. A real free plan is rare and worth knowing about. Above that the price jumps to $149 a month, which is a big step for a small shop. Their pricing page also lists 2 different things at $149, so read it twice.
PriceFree, then $149 a month
Best forA business that wants webchat and review requests together, and can start on the free tier.
Not forA business that needs more than 1 user but cannot justify $149 a month.

Starter is free forever for 1 user. Business is $149 a month, or $127 paid yearly. Prices change, so check chekkit.io before you decide.

The bill

What Chekkit charges

From their own pricing page on 18 October 2026.

PlanPriceWhat it covers
Starter$0Free forever, 1 user.
Business$149Unlimited users. $127 a month paid yearly.
Business Pro$149Listed at the same price as Business on their page.
Business AI$249Includes what they call an AI Employee.

On top of the plan, their page lists these:

Voice, 1,000 minutes$39 a month
Voice, 2,000 minutes$69 a month

Ours, for the same job: $19 for 1 location, $29 with a team, $5 per location from 10 with your own brand on it.

What Chekkit does well

  • A genuine free forever plan, not a trial.
  • Unlimited users on the paid plans. We charge per plan, not per seat, but many rivals charge per user.
  • Webchat and texting in the same tool as the review asks.
  • Nothing on their page describes routing unhappy customers privately.

Where it falls short

  • The step from free to $149 a month is the steepest in this market.
  • Their pricing page lists Business and Business Pro at the same $149, which cannot both be right.
  • The free plan is 1 user only.
  • No published count of review sites read.

Questions

Chekkit, answered

Is Chekkit really free?

There is a Starter plan at $0 labelled free forever, for 1 user. We read it on their pricing page on 18 October 2026. The next plan up is $149 a month, or $127 paid yearly.

How much does Chekkit cost?

Free for 1 user, then $149 a month for unlimited users, with a Business AI plan at $249. Voice minutes are $39 or $69 a month on top. Their page shows Business and Business Pro at the same $149, which looks like an error on their side.

Chekkit or FiveStariz?

If free for 1 user covers you, take their free plan. If you outgrow it, $149 against our $19 is the comparison, and we do not do webchat. For 10 locations we are $5 each.

Want the asking done for less?

FiveStariz is $19 a month, the price is on the page, and there is no setup fee.
