Frequently Asked Questions

Why is RepReply so much cheaper than Podium?

RepReply focuses exclusively on AI review responses for single-location businesses. We don't bundle messaging, payments, or enterprise features you don't need. This lets us offer the core review management feature at a fraction of the cost.

Can I switch from Podium to RepReply?

Yes. RepReply connects directly to your Google Business Profile. Simply sign up, connect your account, and your reviews will be managed automatically. The transition takes less than 2 minutes.

Does RepReply have the same AI quality as Podium?

RepReply uses GPT-4o for generating responses, which is consistently rated higher quality than Podium's AI (which has received complaints about errors on G2). You can customize the tone, style, and language of all responses.

What if I need SMS review solicitation?

RepReply focuses on responding to existing reviews with AI. For review solicitation via SMS, tools like NiceJob or GatherUp complement RepReply well. Many businesses find that professional responses to existing reviews naturally encourage more reviews.
