Why teams choose Boast

What you get with Boast that Vocal Video doesn't lead with

  • Pay month to month

    Boast plans start at $59 a month, billed monthly, with no yearly contract. Vocal Video's paid plans start at $99 a month, listed as billed yearly.

  • Ask by text, not just email

    A text is hard to miss. On Team and Premium, Boast sends requests by email and SMS from the same sequence.

  • Follow-ups that keep going

    Build a sequence of reminders on your schedule. It stops by itself when the customer responds, so nobody gets nagged after saying yes.

  • 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.

  • NPS®, CSAT and CES surveys

    Measure how customers feel and collect testimonials from the happiest ones, without paying for a separate survey tool.

  • Locations and staff

    Tag every response by location and staff member, then show the right proof on each location's page. Up to 20 locations and 100 staff.

Requests that get answered

Most testimonials are lost to “I'll do it later.”

A single email is easy to miss. Boast sequences ask by email and text, wait the number of days you choose, and ask again. When the customer records their video or leaves their review, the reminders stop. Enroll contacts by hand, from a spreadsheet, or automatically through Zapier when a deal closes.
