Why teams choose Boast
What you get with Boast that VideoAsk doesn't lead with
Testimonials on your website
Approve a response and it shows up in your display widgets: cards, lists, carousels or a floating widget, filtered by tag, location or staff.
One finished video
Customers answer each question in its own take, and Boast joins them into one video with a title card before each answer.
Captions, editing and intros
Every approved video is captioned automatically. Trim and reorder clips, and add your intro, outro, music and watermark.
Requests that follow up
Sequences ask by email, or email and text on Team and Premium, and remind customers until they respond.
Google and Facebook reviews
Send happy customers straight to the review sites that bring you business, from the same request that asks for a video.
Priced by responses, not minutes
A 10-minute testimonial counts the same as a 30-second one, up to 15 minutes per recording on Premium.
Widgets
Put the right proof on the right page.
- Cards, list, carousel and floating styles
- Filter by tag, location, staff member or custom field
- JavaScript or iframe embed, no developer required
