What is the cheapest review management software for small business?

ReviewSimple is the cheapest professional review management software at only $19.99/month. This is 93% cheaper than Birdeye ($299/month) and 92% cheaper than Podium ($249/month). You save $279/month compared to Birdeye ($3,348/year savings) and $229/month compared to Podium ($2,748/year savings). ReviewSimple includes QR codes for free (competitors don't offer this), smart routing to prevent bad reviews, email automation, and a 14-day free trial with no contracts.

How does ReviewSimple work?

ReviewSimple automatically sends email requests to your customers after service. They click to rate their experience. 5-star ratings go to Google for public reviews. Lower ratings become private feedback to you, preventing bad public reviews. You can also generate QR codes for in-person review collection.

What is the smart rating filter?

The smart rating filter routes customer feedback based on their rating. 5-star ratings are directed to Google for public reviews. Ratings below 5 stars become private feedback sent only to you, allowing you to address issues before they become public negative reviews. This protects your online reputation.

How many reviews will I get per month?

Most businesses get 5-10 new reviews per month using ReviewSimple. Industry average response rate is 15-20%, which means if you send 50 email requests per month, 8-10 will respond, and 6-8 will leave public 5-star reviews. This is 4x more effective than asking manually.

Is smart routing legal?

Yes, smart routing is 100% legal. It is NOT review gating. Review gating means BLOCKING negative reviews — which is prohibited by Google and the FTC. Smart routing simply OFFERS unhappy customers a private feedback option FIRST. They can still leave a public Google review anytime they want. ReviewSimple follows all FTC guidelines, Google policies, and TCPA regulations.

How do gyms and fitness studios get more Google reviews?

The most effective way for gyms to get more reviews is automated email requests sent after class or session. ReviewSimple automates this process, sending personalized emails that take members directly to your Google review page.

What is the best review software for gyms and CrossFit boxes?

ReviewSimple is the most affordable review software for fitness businesses at $19.99/month. It includes automated email review requests, smart routing (5-star reviews go public, lower ratings become private feedback), and works for gyms, CrossFit, yoga, pilates, martial arts, and all fitness businesses.

How many reviews should a gym have on Google?

Most successful gyms have 50-200+ Google reviews with a 4.5+ star rating. Studies show 97% of consumers read reviews before choosing a gym, and businesses with more reviews rank higher in local search results.

Why don't gym members leave reviews even when they're happy?

Members don't leave reviews because they forget, don't know how, or it feels like too much effort. The solution is making it effortless with a direct link sent automatically at the right moment - right after a great class or session when they're feeling motivated.

How much does review software cost for fitness businesses?

Review software prices range from $19.99/month (ReviewSimple) to $299-500/month (Birdeye, Podium). ReviewSimple offers the same core features - automated review requests and review management - at a fraction of the cost, specifically designed for local fitness businesses.
