FeedbackPlatform vs Google Reviews
This is not either/or. Google reviews are free and important, and FeedbackPlatform helps you get more of them: the Review Hub sends happy customers to Google, unhappy ones reach you privately first, and a widget shows your Google reviews on your own site.
Starter is €99 a year for one domain, with a 14-day free trial. Growth covers 5 domains for €299 a year.
Google Business Profile and its reviews are free. Google does not offer a widget for your website, automatic invitations or a private feedback form.
