"It's a great company and they definitely have our seal of approval."

"I cannot say enough amazing things about this company. Chekkit has been an absolute game changer for my clients. We were considering Podium (which is astronomically more expensive, and had an insane contract), and thankfully Samantha found us in the nick of time, in the short meeting I had with her, she checked EVERY BOX for what we were looking for, and it was a total no brainer, they're honest, innovative, and you can really tell that they're passionate about the value their platform offers their clients. They're so confident in their platform, they do month-to-month billing and no long term commitment because the platform speaks for itself and is extremely valuable.

We use a CRM that requires API's to do everything, Lewis was amazing about creating a custom application that sends our clients review requests a few hours after their service, at the perfect time. We've gotten literally hundreds of reviews with that integration, and our Google Business Profiles are killing it in local search, the sheer volume of calls has been insane, and directly attributed to our reputation boost. We're saving thousands of dollars on advertising and doing reputation based, organic marketing, and Chekkit is at the heart of it. We've expanded our business to new locations and it's all because of Chekkit. This stuff is for real.

The support is absolutely AMAZING too. A direct contrast to  Podium, you're working with a small, motivated, team that go way above and beyond in every way. They have a chat widget in the portal that I can text at any time and they respond within one minute. They're also super responsive to feature requests, and bend over backwards to make the platform even better.

My favorite part about this platform is the fast pace of growth, almost everyday there's new features and improvements that make an already amazing platform even better. I love the dev team's engagement, they actively seek feedback and really care about making this platform the best it can be, the high pace of development I've seen has been really awesome to see! The platform already checked every box, and now it goes above and beyond what even the biggest competitors do on their ridiculous $650 a month plan. By the way, Chekkit gives you literally every feature for 1/5th the price.

If you're looking for a messaging service provider, want to put review requests on autopilot, grow your organic rankings and boost your customer's experience, GO WITH CHEKKIT. I wish more software providers were like them. Their team is absolutely exceptional, and over time you really develop a relationship with everyone on the team. It's been an absolute pleasure to work with them."

Great program with the same features as Podium at a fraction of the price!

The only regret we have - is that we didn't find Chekkit sooner. We switched over from Podium and I feel that the product and the customer service is superior. No long term contract - month to month. Great product, nice people, amazing price!

I recently switched from Podium to Chekkit. Yes I heard all the negative words from the competition about Chekkit, but I should have changed a long time ago. I find their app is much more responsive, the interface is almost the same from competitor to competitor, and the added features that Chekkit has is much better! Most importantly the price is sooo much cheaper! Paul and Kianna are fantastic to work with and I have found the customer service to be much better than Podium. I strongly recommend Chekkit to everyone!

User friendly and much better pricing than Podium. Ease of use communicating with customers. Whether I am in the office or out of the office I have the messaging service on my phone and can make sure my team gets back to customers in a timely manner.

I changed from Podium to Chekkit - and it was a great move for my company. Chekkit's phone app is more stable than Podium's phone app. The staff at Chekkit couldn't be more helpful. It's really incredible how they helped me move my data over, set up my conversations and all my templates.

Crazy easy, super powerful platform for gathering reviews! Chekkit is intuitive and easy to use. It has the power and functionality of a platform like Podium, but at a fraction for the cost. I've worked with them as the point of contact for an agency, and I've worked with them as a customer (where I'm managing reviews for my business.) I can't say enough good things about the platform.
