"I was paying $49/mo for Shoutout and barely using it. SocialProof does everything I actually need — the embed widget looks great on my site — and it's a third of the price."— Small business owner
Shoutout is a solid testimonial tool — but it's priced for funded startups, not the local business owner or solo freelancer trying to build trust online.
SocialProof gives you the same core capability (collect testimonials, embed them beautifully, drive trust) at a price that makes sense from day one. Start free. Upgrade when you need more widgets.
No annual contract. No credit card required.
Set up your first testimonial widget in under 5 minutes. Free forever for 1 widget.
