## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. ReviewBuzz asks customers for Google reviews and credits each one to the tech who earned it. It runs on one plan at $250 a month plus $25 for every field employee, which puts a 15-tech shop at $625 a month. Smaller shops and anyone outside home services will find the price and the focus both hard to justify.

- **Value for money: D.** The platform fee is $250 a month before you add $25 per field employee, so 15 techs cost $625. Reviews tools start at $15 for the cheaper quarter and the dearest tenth starts at $250; this opens there.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A free 30-day trial, set up through a demo. No card is mentioned and there is no free plan, so it's a short look rather than something you can keep using.
- **Features: C.** In-person NFC and QR asks, automated requests through field service software, tech leaderboards and AI-drafted replies. The plan covers one location; more are an add-on and 5 or more need a quote.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You set it up through a demo and connect it to your field service software, then techs use the employee app.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web dashboard plus an employee mobile app, with Google as the only listed integration. The pricing page does not name the app stores.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of ReviewBuzz you could make: review collection and qR codes. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 47 of the 63 other customer review tools grade higher. It costs $3,000 a year.

- You could make: Review collection and qR codes: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
