Pricing Comparison

Podium Pricing

???
Podium no longer offers transparent pricing

Podium operates on a quote-based pricing model, with costs varying depending on the number of locations, users, and features selected. The lack of transparent pricing can make it difficult for businesses to estimate costs upfront. Additionally, annual contracts are mandatory, which may pose challenges for businesses looking to cancel without penalties.

 

Text Request Pricing

$59.99/month
1000 messages & unlimited users

Text Request's tiered pricing is based on message volume, but often includes more "dashboards" (text lines) and features as you go up. High-volume plans go up to 250,000 texts for $2,900/month. Unlimited users and contacts on all plans, more features included in our plans at higher tiers, and no contracts.
