Collecting the video is the first half.
These three are why teams switch — and, per the table above, where the comparison ends.
What happens after the video arrives.
Collection is table stakes in this category. The difference is the pipeline behind it — how the video is hosted, cut, displayed, and measured.
When Boast is the right call.
Boast has been at this a while and serves service businesses well. Several of its capabilities are ones we don't offer — if these matter most, it's a defensible choice.
Bring the videos. Lose the caps.
Download your video files from Boast and upload the originals to ReTestimonial — they're re-hosted with adaptive streaming and automatic transcripts. Text reviews and ratings move by CSV: columns are auto-matched with suggestions you confirm, duplicates are caught, and from Pro up every import rolls back in one click.
ReTestimonial vs Boast, answered.
Is ReTestimonial a good Boast alternative?
If the response caps or the missing free plan brought you here, yes. ReTestimonial has a real free tier (no card), paid plans collect without monthly response caps, and the display layer goes much further — 7 widget types in 53 styles, hosted walls, share pages, and schema markup. What Boast does that we don't: SMS sequences, NPS surveys, and phone support.
Does ReTestimonial cap monthly responses like Boast?
No. Boast caps responses per month on every plan (50/150/500 as of July 2026). ReTestimonial's limits are by plan tier, not monthly meters — Pro has unlimited text testimonials, Premium unlimited video — so a good month never turns collection off.
How do video limits compare?
Boast records 5-minute videos at 720p on its $59 Basic, 10 minutes at 1080p on Team, and 15 at 4K on Premium. ReTestimonial records up to 2 minutes on Free/Pro, 3 on Premium, and 5 on Business, streamed in HD with automatic transcripts. If you need very long-form recordings, Boast's upper tiers allow more minutes per video; for testimonial-length clips, our pipeline does more with them.
Can I display text and video testimonials together?
Yes — text, video, and audio testimonials mix in the same widgets and walls, with per-element design control. Boast's display options are gallery-style embeds; independent roundups note it lacks a ready-made wall-of-love layout.
How do I migrate from Boast?
Download your video files, upload the originals to ReTestimonial (we re-host them with adaptive streaming and transcripts), and move text reviews by CSV with auto-matched columns. On Pro and up, the CSV import can be rolled back in one click.
Start free. Collect uncapped.
Move your Boast library over this afternoon — the free tier needs no card, and paid plans can roll the text import back in one click. No hard feelings either way.
