RespondWay or RepliFast?
The same idea, built from the other end. RepliFast starts at Google’s API and publishes automatically. We start at your inbox and work on day one.
- RespondWay
- $0 free, then $10
- Month to month
- RepliFast
- From $15 per month, or $12 billed annually
- Month to month, or annual at 20% to 35% off
RepliFast is the closest competitor to what RespondWay does: AI replies in your voice, with human approval, at an indie price. It is a good product and the comparison is genuinely close.
Where RepliFast is better
- Publishes replies straight to Google automatically, where we still need a paste until our API access is approved
- Automatic posting rules by star rating, which we cannot offer until then
- Imports your whole review history at once through the API
- Established customers and public testimonials
Where RespondWay is better
- Works before any Google approval, because reviews arrive by email forwarding
- Answers Google, Yelp, Facebook, Tripadvisor and OpenTable. RepliFast is Google only
- Asks for reviews as well as answering them: email invitations, QR posters, reminders
- A review widget for your own website
- Competitor benchmarking and weekly insight emails
- Cheaper to start and more replies with it: $10 a month against their $15, 250 replies against their 200, across five platforms rather than Google alone. Their $12 is the same plan paid a year up front; ours needs nothing prepaid
- Cheaper for unlimited replies: $25 a month against their $29, and ours covers five platforms where theirs covers Google
- Cheaper for five locations: $50 a month against their $77
- Cheaper by the year too: $90 against their $144 at the entry tier
- And on unlimited replies by the year: $225 against their $228
- One flat price however many locations you look after. RepliFast charges $12 a month for each one after the first, so from the 7th location our $100 costs less than theirs
What each of us asks for on day one
Before RepliFast can do anything for you, it needs management access to your Google Business Profile. That is the same permission that can change your opening hours, your photographs and your description, and you grant it before you have seen the product answer a single review.
RespondWay starts from forwarded notification emails, so there is nothing to grant and nothing to approve. The trade is real and worth saying plainly: publishing stays a paste. Our own Google API approval is still pending, and when it lands, connecting becomes a choice you make after the product has proved itself rather than before.
When not to choose us
If you already have Google API access working and you only want replies posted automatically, RepliFast does that today and we do not. That is the honest answer.
