Video testimonials,
without the response caps.

Boast does respectable video collection for service businesses — forms, email and SMS sequences, NPS surveys, phone support. Two structural things to weigh: every plan caps monthly responses (50 on the $59 Basic), and there's no free plan, only a watermarked trial. ReTestimonial starts free, doesn't cap paid collection monthly, and puts far more product after the video arrives.

Pick Boast if…

You're a service business that wants video + NPS + SMS request sequences with phone support, and your response volume fits comfortably under the monthly caps.

Pick ReTestimonial if…

You want to start free, collect without monthly caps on paid plans, and actually use the videos — 53 widget styles, walls, multi-clip reels, social clips, and revenue attribution.

The video stack

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.

A fair read

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.

SMS request sequences alongside email (Team plan up) — our Smart Invites are email-only.
Native NPS and CSAT surveys built into the same product — we don't do survey workflows.
Phone support from the Team plan up, which matters to service businesses without a technical bench.
Per-location form and staff management for multi-location businesses.

Questions people ask

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.
