Best for video testimonials and review requests for small teams
Boast collects video, photo and text testimonials and sends email and SMS requests. There is no free plan, the 14-day trial puts a watermark on everything, and the FAQ says refunds aren't offered. SMS sequences and Google and Facebook review collection need Team at $100 a month.
Who Boast is for
- Fits if you want video and text testimonials from customers on their phones
- Works for businesses with several locations and staff on the Premium plan
Who Boast is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because there isn't one
- Watch out: the FAQ says refunds aren't offered, so the trial is how you test it
- Tight if your volume grows: Basic is 600 responses a year, Team 1,800
- Pricey if you want SMS, Google and Facebook review collection or video editing, all on Team at $100 a month

Keep Boast, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Boast you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $600 a year.
What you could make
- Review collection, surveys and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- A video editor.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Boast’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Boast?
Boast collects video, photo and text testimonials through forms that customers complete on a phone, asks for them by email and SMS sequences, and shows them in website widgets. It also handles Google and Facebook review requests and NPS, CSAT and custom surveys. Plans are priced by responses per year.
Worth knowing
- No free plan; the 14-day trial puts a watermark on videos, widgets and forms.
- The FAQ says refunds are not offered, so the trial or a monthly plan is the way to test it.
- Plans are capped by responses per year, and an annual plan gives the whole year's responses up front.
- SMS sequences, Google and Facebook review collection and video editing need Team or above.
Key features
- Video, photo and text forms
- Customers can finish a form on a phone, with on-screen guided prompts that coach them while they record.
- Requests and reminders
- Sequences send follow-ups by email on every plan and by SMS from the Team plan, with limits on enrollments per year.
- Review collection
- Team and Premium can send customers to Google and Facebook to leave reviews, alongside surveys such as NPS, CSAT and CES.
- Display widgets
- Cards, carousels and lists put testimonials on a website, and videos can be downloaded for use elsewhere.
- Auto captions and video editing
- Captions are added to approved videos on every plan. Trim, cut and reorder tools and video automations start on Team.
- Contacts, staff and locations
- Feedback can be separated by contact, staff member and business location, with limits rising by plan.
