Most businesses find out something is wrong when the rating drops. GleamIQ finds it two to three months before that.
The same thing is probably happening somewhere in your reviews right now.
Find your hidden problem →Connect in 2 minutes · $79.99/mo · All locations included
Enterprise-scale businesses with dedicated marketing staff, 20+ locations, and budgets to match. Strong on review request automation and CRM integration. Weak on actually synthesizing what reviews say.
Owner-operators, service businesses, and agencies managing 1–15 locations who need to understand what their customers are actually saying — not just collect more reviews or track a star rating.
Depends on what problem you're actually trying to solve.
The math on 3 locations: OpsScaleIQ's Lite plan starts at $99/mo — but that's for one location and one user seat only. Each additional location and each additional user seat carries a separate monthly add-on fee, so a real multi-location business with a few team members quickly pays well above the $99 entry price, and you're still limited to Google Business Profile. Birdeye runs $897 for 3 locations. Podium hits $1,197. GleamIQ is $79.99 — for all three locations combined, unlimited seats, across 6+ platforms. That gap widens with every location you add. GleamIQ's per-business pricing means your cost stays flat whether you have 1 location or 10. And unlike Birdeye (annual contract, 90-day written cancellation notice required) or Reputation.com (full year invoiced upfront, explicitly non-cancellable), GleamIQ is month-to-month — cancel any time, no penalties.
Connect your review platforms in minutes and let GleamIQ surface the themes driving your reputation — good and bad.
