It also handles Google and Facebook review requests and NPS, CSAT and custom surveys. Plans are priced by responses per year.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Boast, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Basic is $50 a month billed annually ($59 monthly), between the category's middle of $29 and its dearer quarter at $95. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan. The 14-day trial needs no card, with watermarks on videos, widgets and forms. |
| Features | B | Forms, requests, reminders, widgets, video editing, review collection, contacts and locations. Basic gets only part of that. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record, and forms, sequences and widgets are yours to build. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Zapier, Google and Facebook connections, web only. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Small businesses and agencies collecting video testimonials
- Multi-location businesses separating feedback by site
- Teams that want review requests and surveys beside video
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
