A Simpler Podium Alternative: One AI Website Assistant, Done For You

Podium is an enterprise-grade platform with many products — review management, messaging, and an AI Employee among them. If you don't need a platform and just want one AI website assistant that answers visitors and captures leads around the clock, built and managed for you, that's what this is.

A platform vs. one job done completely

Podium grew up around review management and became a broad platform for local businesses, with an AI Employee product that includes website chat among many other tools. Breadth is the point — one vendor for a lot of jobs.

We made the opposite bet: one product, done completely. A 24/7 website chat assistant, trained on your business, installed on your site, and managed by us ongoing. No modules to configure, no platform to learn, no features you'll never touch.

One flat price instead of platform pricing

$297/month for one website. $997/month for up to five. Unlimited conversations on both. Free setup, month-to-month, 14-day money-back guarantee on your first charge.

Platform pricing tends to sprawl — tiers, add-ons, per-location fees. Our price is the price. Your busiest month costs the same as your slowest, and you'll never need a spreadsheet to figure out your bill.

We do everything; you do nothing technical

We interview you, build the assistant, train it on your services and prices, install it on your website, and keep it updated. You never log in anywhere or touch code.

That's the whole pitch, really. If you want software to configure, there are cheaper self-serve chatbots. If you want the outcome without the work, that's us.

When Podium is the better pick

If you want review management, messaging, and AI tools together in one enterprise-grade platform — one login, one vendor relationship — Podium is built for exactly that. A single-purpose website assistant can't replace a platform.

But if you already have tools you like and just need your website to stop losing after-hours visitors, a platform is overkill. Buy the one thing you need.

What it won't do

It chats with your website visitors 24/7, answers from your real business info, captures leads, qualifies urgency, and routes everything to you instantly.

Questions, answered

How is this different from Podium's AI Employee?

Podium's AI Employee is one product inside a large platform. Ours is the entire business: a single managed website chat assistant. You get one thing, fully built and managed for you, at one flat price.

Do you manage online reviews too?

No — that's Podium's home turf, and they're good at it. We do website chat, nothing else. If reviews are your priority, go with the platform.

How much does it cost?

$297/month for one website or $997/month for up to five, with free setup and month-to-month billing. Your first charge includes a 14-day money-back guarantee.

How long does setup take?

We do the work, so your time investment is one conversation about your business. We build, train, install, and test the assistant, then hand you a working chat on your site.

Can it handle multiple locations?

Yes — the $997/month Business plan covers up to five websites and assistants, built for multi-location owners and franchises.
