Which one fits

Testimo is the better fit when

Testimo suits a service business with one site or one team. It has a published AUD price, a 14-day trial, and a flow that goes from the Google review to photos, testimonials and referrals.

Birdeye may be the better fit when

Birdeye suits a brand with many locations that wants reviews, listings, messaging and surveys under one quote. Testimo does not cover listings or multi-location rollouts.

Birdeye

Birdeye does not publish a dollar price. Its pricing page asks for a quote by location band, from 1 to 3 locations through 1,000+. Third-party reviews report entry quotes of about US$299 to US$349 per location per month, usually on a 12-month term. Treat that as an estimate and ask Birdeye for a written quote. Birdeye's cancellation page says an account can close early only if the signed contract has an opt-out clause.

Common questions
