Which one fits you
Choose a full suite
You want webchat, SMS marketing, payment collection and review aggregation across many directories under one contract, and you have someone to run it. Breadth is the point, and a quote-based enterprise deal is acceptable.
Choose KundPulse
You want steady growth in authentic Google reviews, unhappy customers caught privately before they post, and a monthly briefing that tells you which operational problem is costing you ratings — at a price you can see up front.
Choose neither yet
If nobody currently asks customers for feedback at all, start manually for a month. If asking works and you cannot keep up with the follow-up, that is the moment automation pays for itself.
Where we are not the answer
- You need many review sites. KundPulse connects to Google Business Profile. If your customers decide on other directories, a broader aggregator serves you better.
- You want one inbox for everything. Webchat, SMS campaigns and in-person payments are outside our scope on purpose.
- You run more than ten locations. Our largest plan covers up to ten; beyond that, talk to us before subscribing.
