Why They Switch

Why businesses choose Laudy over BirdEye

The price is hard to justify

BirdEye starts at $299/month and goes up from there. For a local business owner, that's a major line item for software that does far more than you need.

The setup is a project, not a product

BirdEye requires an onboarding call, implementation support, and days (sometimes weeks) to go live. Laudy is running in 5 minutes.

Video testimonials — a feature BirdEye skips

Laudy lets customers record in-browser video reviews with one SMS tap. No app download. No friction. BirdEye doesn't offer this at any tier.
