Podium pricing: plans, add-ons and what to ask before you sign
Podium does not publish prices. Here is what its website and Capterra say about plans, the add-ons and fees its pricing page mentions, and alternatives that publish their prices.
Free plan for 1 location · Paid plans from $9/mo · 7-day trial on paid plans
How much does Podium cost?
Podium does not list prices on its website. Its pricing page says plans are designed to fit your business and directs you to talk to sales or book a demo. Capterra lists three Podium plans, Core, Pro and Signature, each as a custom quote, with no free trial or free version listed.
Other websites publish estimates, but Podium does not confirm them, so we do not repeat them. Use your own quote as the number to compare.
What Podium includes
Podium describes itself as an all-in-one AI operating system for local businesses. Its AI Employee answers leads, books appointments and works your customer database, and its website says 60,000+ businesses use Podium, with a focus on auto dealerships, home services, aesthetics and wellness, and retail.
For reviews, Podium describes:
- Textable review invites and automated reminders
- An AI Reputation Specialist that writes invites and replies
- Consolidating your review sites into a single inbox to monitor and respond
Add-ons and fees Podium mentions
Podium's pricing page lists the AI Employee as an add-on you can attach to any plan, and its FAQ refers to Bulk Messages credits and limits, Scope of Use limitations and a base 10DLC fee (the registration that US business texting requires). The amounts are not shown publicly, so ask for each of them in your quote.
Podium does not publish contract length or cancellation terms. Capterra's summary of Podium user reviews lists pricing and the cancellation process as recurring complaint themes, alongside positive themes such as automated review collection and easy onboarding. Read the term and renewal clauses before signing.
Questions to ask in a Podium quote
- Which plan is quoted, and how many locations and users does it cover?
- Is the AI Employee included or an add-on, and at what price?
- How many bulk message credits are included, and what happens when you hit the limit?
- What is the 10DLC fee, and is it one-time or recurring?
- How long is the term, does it auto-renew, and how do you cancel?
- Can the price change at renewal?
