What you get
CRM, inbox and reviews in one platform
Revenue Sol puts the CRM, the unified inbox and, on Professional, reviews and a 24/7 AI receptionist in one subscription with published prices. Your phone carrier and AI voice accounts are billed separately, at their own rates.
Reviews on Professional
Automated review requests, your Google review feed and AI-drafted replies are included in Professional ($199/month), so you don't need a separate reviews tool.
Messaging from Starter up
Webchat-to-text, two-way SMS, email and WhatsApp/Instagram in one inbox, starting on Starter ($99/month). Texts run on your own Twilio or RingCentral account.
AI receptionist + CRM
A full CRM with scheduling, jobs and quotes from Starter up, plus a 24/7 AI receptionist on Professional (it runs on your own Retell account). Podium's AI Employee is an add-on quoted by sales.
One platform for CRM, inbox and reviews
Replace a separate CRM and inbox, and on Professional a reviews tool, with one subscription. Your carrier (Twilio or RingCentral) and AI voice (Retell) accounts stay on their own bills.
Carrier-cost texting
Connect your own Twilio or RingCentral account and pay carrier rates for texts and calls, with no Revenue Sol markup.
Clear seat limits
Starter covers 1 user, Professional up to 4 and Growth up to 15. Seats are set by plan with no per-seat add-on, so a 5-person team needs Growth at $399/month.
How to compare cost against Podium
Podium doesn't publish prices, so the only way to compare is to get a quote from Podium's sales team. Ask what the quote includes, whether you need its AI Employee add-on, and how many locations and users it covers.
Then add anything you'd still pay for separately alongside it, such as a CRM or a scheduler. Confirm with Podium which of those it covers, since its features and pricing aren't listed publicly.
Set that total against Revenue Sol's published prices. Starter is $99/month for 1 user with a full CRM and messaging. Professional is $199/month for up to 4 users and adds reviews, payments and a 24/7 AI receptionist. A team of 5 or more needs Growth at $399/month. On top of the plan, you pay your own Twilio or RingCentral account carrier rates for calls and texts (no Revenue Sol markup), your own Retell account for the AI voice receptionist, and top-up packs if you use more AI credits than your plan includes. Start a 14-day trial on any self-serve plan and compare your real numbers.

Professional, at $199/month for up to 4 users, and on Growth and Enterprise.
