FAQ
Before you switch.
Is there a contract?
Not with us: Growth is month to month. Podium's terms set a 12-month initial term by default that renews unless you give 30 days' written notice, so check your renewal date before you switch.
Do you send review requests like Podium?
Yes. Requests go out by text and email after every job, with replies written for you for the good reviews and the bad ones. They're part of Growth, and as a special promotion you can pick them with Starter.
What don't you replace?
Podium's shared texting inbox, webchat, phone system and payments. If those run your business, Podium may still be the right tool.
Can you move my data from what I use now?
Yes, whatever system it is. Our team brings your customers, price lists, jobs and open quotes across. You keep working the whole time, and we tell you when it's safe to cancel each old app.
Where do you work?
Across Canada and the United States. Everything is remote, in English or French.
