Grade.us Solo is $110/month — $1,320/year. SocialProof Pro is $9/month — $108/year. For a small business that just wants to collect and display testimonials, that's $1,212/year you can spend on literally anything else.
Grade.us is a legitimate product solving a real problem — for agencies. If you're a marketing agency juggling 20 franchise restaurant locations, coordinating review responses across Google, Yelp, and TripAdvisor, and delivering white-label performance reports to clients, Grade.us makes sense.
If you're a plumber, yoga instructor, therapist, or consultant who wants to put a testimonials widget on your website? Grade.us is massively over-engineered and over-priced for your needs.
SocialProof is built for the latter. Collect testimonials from happy clients via a simple form, embed a beautiful widget in 5 minutes, and let your reputation do the selling.
Collect, manage, and embed testimonials — without the agency price tag. Free forever for 1 active widget.
