What Birdeye is good at
Birdeye is one of the biggest names in reputation management. It says it gathers reviews from 200+ sites; its review agent drafts replies in your brand voice and either posts them or holds them for your approval; and the platform adds listings, social media, surveys and ticketing. It is capable software aimed at multi-location brands.
Birdeye doesn’t publish prices: its pricing page is a quote form that asks how many locations you have. If you run a single location or a small local business, you may not need most of the platform, and with Tailwind you see the price before you sign up.
