โš–๏ธPodium alternative

Everything Podium does for reviews. Free for your first 30 days.

We start with 15 minutes: how your business actually runs, what you already use, and where reviews are being lost. Then I build the setup around that, however long it takes. Your 30 free days start when you are live, not when we talk.

30 days free ยท No credit card ยท I build the setup for you

Because I build every setup myself, I take on 10 new businesses a month.

After the 30 days it is from $149 a month, quoted on how many customers you see, never per location. The setup itself costs nothing, whatever it takes to build.

2.3 to 13.6 Google reviews a month for an eight-location customer ยท their own Google data

Used by dental and medical clinics, salons, spas, gyms, auto shops and local service businesses.

How it works

One job, done properly: turn the customers you already serve into Google reviews, and turn those reviews into repeat business.

  1. Ask01

    Every customer gets a text or email after their visit, with follow-up for anyone who does not reply.

  2. Review02

    The AI turns what they told you into a draft they can edit and post to Google in two taps.

  3. Reply03

    Reviews import automatically and the AI drafts a response to each one for you to approve.

  4. Return04

    Loyalty, referrals and memberships bring that same customer back through the door again.

and the same customer comes back around

The magic moment

Nobody wants to write a review. So Spokk writes it for them.

Your customer taps a few things about their visit. The AI turns it into a finished review they can edit and post. Pick an example and watch it happen.

Took my car to your business for a brake replacement and could not be happier. Dave looked after it start to finish. He quoted me fairly and had the whole job done the same day. Highly recommend them.

Case study

How an eight-location rental group got nearly six times more Google reviews

A party and event rental business with eight branches, on Google since 2013. They switched Spokk on in February 2026, and their full review history came across with them, so this is a measured before and after rather than a projection.

Reviews that got a reply from the owner

  • Every one of the eight locations improved, not just the busiest ones.
  • They have already beaten their best full year on record, with four months of 2026 still to run.
  • Podium bills per location. On Spokk, all eight cost the same as one.

One customer's results, not a typical outcome. Measured from their own Google review history, February to August 2026.

What business owners said after using it

Real feedback left through Spokkโ€™s own feedback link.

โ€œThe app makes collecting feedback from customers so much easier for my business. It is really efficient at turning customer feedback into ready-to-post reviews. This saves me a lot of time and effort.โ€
Business owner ยท April 2026
โ€œIt was really nice to get feedback from our customers in such an easy way, and it helped us turn that feedback into review drafts. It was straightforward to edit them before posting, which saved us a ton of time.โ€
Business owner ยท October 2025
โ€œIt helps me gather feedback from my customers and turns that feedback into review drafts. If you are looking for a simple way to handle customer reviews, this is worth checking out.โ€

What each one costs

Same job, two very different bills. Feature differences are in the next section.

Podium

$399/mo

quoted. Most businesses pay $500+ once the AI reply add-on, per-location charges and compliance fees land on the bill.

  • 12-month contract, renews automatically
  • AI review replies are a $99/mo add-on
  • $5/mo compliance fee per location
  • No free trial. You pay from day one

Spokk

$149/mo

starting price, or $124 a month paid yearly. We quote on how many customers you see each month, so a busy business pays more and a quiet one pays less. No add-ons, no per-location fees, ever.

  • Monthly or yearly, your choice. Cancel anytime
  • AI review replies included
  • Unlimited locations, no per-location fee
  • 30 days free, set up for you, no card

Podium pricing and terms verified from published pricing breakdowns and their own terms, August 2026.

Which one fits your business

These are different products aimed at different bottlenecks. It is usually obvious which side you are on.

Podium is the better choice if

Podium is a communication platform. Its job is handling the conversations coming at you.

  • You take payments by text

    Text-to-pay card processing is built in. Spokk has no equivalent.

  • You want your phone system in one place

    Podium includes VoIP with AI call summaries.

  • You need inbound leads answered 24/7

    Their AI Concierge answers and qualifies new enquiries around the clock.

Spokk is the better choice if

Spokk is a revenue platform. Its job is getting more out of the customers you already serve.

  • You want to get found more often

    Review automation + AI drafts

    Every customer is asked automatically and the AI writes their review for them. More reviews means you rank higher locally and get picked over the business next door.

  • You want the same customers coming back

    Loyalty

    Check-ins track every visit and reward regulars without anyone remembering to. A repeat customer costs you nothing to acquire.

  • You want customers bringing you customers

    Referrals

    Tracked referrals with a reward on both sides, so your happiest customers become your cheapest acquisition channel.

  • You want predictable monthly revenue

    Memberships

    Paid memberships billed through Stripe turn occasional visitors into subscribers who pay you whether they come in or not.

If your bottleneck is answering the phone, Podium. If it is getting more revenue out of the customers already walking through your door, that is what we built.

Trying it costs you nothing

๐Ÿงช

Run it alongside Podium

Your 30 days start once you are live and need no card, so you can run both on real customers and compare before committing to anything.

๐Ÿ”ง

One click from you, the rest is on me

Google only lets the owner connect their own profile, so you click that yourself while we are on the call. I never see your login. Everything after it is mine to build: your customers imported, whatever you already run on wired in, and the follow-up written to match how you actually work.

๐Ÿ“…

Move when your term ends

Diarise your Podium cancellation date now, 45 days before renewal, then switch cleanly instead of paying for another year.

Samesh Wijeweera, Founder of Spokk
From the founder

You will be talking to the person who built it.

I am Samesh, and I built Spokk myself. With Podium you get a sales rep, then an account executive, then an onboarding specialist who charges you to be onboarded. Here you get me, I build your setup myself around how your business runs, and you get 30 days to see whether it works before paying anything. That is also why there is no contract: I would rather you stay because it works than because you signed something.

Samesh Wijeweera ยท Founder of Spokk

Let us get it running on your business

Fifteen minutes, screen shared. We will look at your Google profile together, I will show you where reviews are being left on the table, and we work out what your setup needs. You connect Google from your own account in one click, then I go and build the rest. If it is not a fit, I will tell you on the call rather than waste your time.
