Podium is a customer messaging and lead conversion platform for local businesses. Its official site describes tools for reviews, phones, website chat, a shared inbox, payments, text marketing, and automations, along with an AI Employee that can be added to any plan. Podium says it serves businesses such as auto dealerships, aesthetics practices, home-services companies, and retailers, and that its automations connect to more than 200 integrations, though we have not verified the individual integrations.
Podium does not publish its pricing. Its pricing page says plans are tailored to each business and directs visitors to the sales team, and no free plan or free trial is listed. Anyone considering Podium should request a quote directly from the vendor and compare the plan scope with their needs.
