Core satisfaction scores
Feature-level satisfaction scores
Source: G2 Liftify vs. Reputation and Podium vs. Reputation comparison data, converted from G2’s published 0–10 satisfaction scale, and the G2 Liftify Features page. Pulled July 2026. "n.a." = not published by G2 for that product.
Podium’s newer "Agentic AI" sub-scores, autonomous task execution, adaptive learning, cross-system integration, land between 51% and 58% on G2, well below its own AI Text Generation score. Podium markets breadth, but its own review data shows the deeper AI capabilities are still early.
A dedicated team, not a rotating cast of reps.
Liftify pairs its platform with a dedicated reputation strategist and account manager assigned to every brand. G2 reviewers rate Liftify’s quality of support a perfect 100%, the highest of any dimension on its profile.
Podium reviews flagged "Poor Customer Support" on G2.
Podium reviews flagged "Expensive" on G2.
"Common feedback with other platforms was ‘my rep is constantly changing’ and ‘they are slow to respond’ but this is not the case with Liftify."
"Podium’s tech support is not always the quickest to provide answers and neither is our customer success rep... we’ve had a variety of customer success reps. One point of contact would be nice."
Pricing built around your needs.
Every portfolio is different, so your price is too. Liftify builds a custom, transparent quote around your footprint and the outcomes you’re after, and no surprise add-on fees.
Most deployments start with a no-cost pilot across five Google Business Profiles.
Podium lists Core and Pro plans starting around $459–$689/month, but says final cost "may vary" by industry, integrations, and volume, and routes home services buyers straight to a sales conversation.
One G2 reviewer described Podium’s 12-month auto-renewal terms as "unethical business practices."

Built around the home services job cycle.
A broad "AI Employee" that schedules, sells, and markets.
