Grade.us vs. SmileBack

Grade.us is a great way to implement a process/system for continuously garnering a steady stream of reviews from your clients.

Overall product works well but is no longer price competitive compared to others. It also is not as feature rich as its competitors any more. It was one of the first to market which was great but has not done much improvements since. Would love to see ability to measure project CSAT and other integrations.

• Automates review requests.
• Makes review monitoring across sites easy.
• Makes reporting on review progress simple.

Incentivized

• Charts and graphs that make it easy for us to share our results internally and also externally when meeting with clients and potential clients.
• SmileBack provides a fun set of metrics that our techs can be proud of -- by measuring customer satisfaction and seeing these surveys (especially those with comments) - it really provides them with satisfaction of a job well done!
• SmileBack makes it easy to search and filter by the client or by tech (agent) or date range.

Incentivized

• Video support could be a little more granular.
• The nomenclature used in the dashboard is a little unclear to a new user.
• The password assignment system is a bit over-engineered making it harder to use.

• Honestly, I can't find any room for improvement with SmileBack at this time. For what it is designed to do, it is simple, fast and convenient. Just what we were looking for so our customers can drop us a note and get back to making great beer!

Its a simple product to use but could use enhancements in the reporting sections by adding the same filters that are available on other screens.

They are very prompt when we send an inquiry and very helpful with fixing issues.

Fantastic support--very honest and direct assistance anytime you need it. My only critique would be for them to "eat more of their own dog food." While I'm sure they've reached out in the past, I can't say that I specifically recall many times that they went out of their way to seek my input as their customer. That said, we rarely needed to contact them as the product works great on its own!

Different scopes in total, but G.us does a far better job in review management and social proof growth.

SmileBack is the simplest and most effective software for customer reviews. Since it is simple, it is more likely that the customer will leave a review. We have a high number of reviews left by customers because it is fast and easy for them to do so. We value our client's responses and like to keep an eye on how we are doing with customer service.

• Grade.us has allowed us to bring a valuable service to the table for our clients as well as a solid source of recurring revenue. A win win!

• We send our clients executive summaries monthly - being able to show not just their KPIs but also the health of surveys to the main contact the reason they hired us and the CSAT scores/comments, it is nearly instant ROI each and every single month. Well worth it.
