Broadly charges $399/month plus a $350 setup fee. There's a better option.
Broadly (now Broadly by Vendasta) has repositioned around AI phone answering for high-revenue home service businesses. If you primarily need review automation, in-person feedback, and negative review protection, you're looking at $399–$999/month plus a mandatory $350 onboarding fee for features you may not need. Rviewo does the reputation core at $19/month, no setup fee, no annual contract.

Why businesses leave Broadly
$350 before you see a single result
Every Broadly plan — Standard, Pro, and Premium — requires a mandatory $350 onboarding fee before the subscription even starts. That's $350 gone before Broadly has done anything for your reputation. Rviewo has no setup fee. You're running your first review campaign within minutes of signing up.
Post-Vendasta acquisition support issues
Broadly was acquired by Vendasta in 2025/2026. Post-acquisition G2 reviews consistently flag support as 'horrendous' and 'impossible to reach.' This is a common pattern after acquisitions — headcount rationalization hits customer-facing teams first. Check recent G2 reviews before committing to an annual Broadly contract.
Annual contracts on a platform mid-restructure
Broadly's standard terms are annual with monthly billing available at a premium. Signing a 12-month annual contract with a platform currently undergoing post-acquisition integration carries real risk if the product direction shifts or support continues to degrade.
Built for HVAC and plumbing, not your business
Broadly's 2026 flagship is an AI Voice Receptionist for businesses that miss inbound calls. That's genuinely valuable for a high-volume plumbing company. For a restaurant, salon, or clinic that primarily needs review growth and feedback protection, you're buying a phone system you don't need.

When Rviewo is NOT the right choice
We'd rather tell you upfront than have you switch and be disappointed.
- You're a high-revenue home service business (HVAC, plumbing) that needs 24/7 AI phone answering
- You want payment collection and reviews in one platform
- You need deep ServiceTitan or Jobber integration for field service
