The Best Free Review Management Tool in Australia (And Why You're Overpaying)

Are you tired of burning a hole in your pocket just to manage your business reviews? If you’re using platforms like Podium or Birdeye, chances are you're paying through the nose. What if I told you there's a way to manage reviews for free with DaveCRM, while still getting the features you need to shine online? Here's why you might be overpaying and how you can get more for less.

What is Review Management?

At its core, review management is all about handling customer feedback effectively. This includes soliciting new reviews, responding to existing ones, and showcasing positive reviews to build your brand credibility. With automated review requests, GMB (Google My Business) monitoring, and even embedding review widgets on your site, review management tools help keep your digital reputation pristine.

Why Most Tools Charge Too Much

The truth is, many review management platforms, like Podium, Birdeye, and Grade.us, charge exorbitant rates for features that should be accessible to all businesses. Podium charges a hefty $249 a month, while Birdeye starts at $299, and even Grade.us costs at least $110 monthly. Why are they so expensive? Because they know businesses need these tools and see an opportunity to profit from that necessity.
