Why They Switch

Why businesses choose Laudy over Grade.us

You don't need an agency middleman

Grade.us is built for marketing agencies to resell to their clients. That means your support, setup, and access all flow through a third party. Laudy puts you in direct control of your reputation — no intermediary required.

The per-location pricing adds up fast

Grade.us charges $110+ per location per month. If you have even two or three locations, you're at $220–$330/month before you've touched a single feature. Laudy's Business plan covers unlimited locations for $149/month.

Video testimonials are a Laudy exclusive

Grade.us doesn't offer in-browser video reviews at any tier. Laudy customers can send one SMS and get a customer-recorded video testimonial in minutes — no app, no friction, no extra cost.
