Common questions
How does the price difference make sense?
Birdeye is a full enterprise platform (surveys, CRM, ticketing, insights). Mainstreet is a focused AI that does the Google Business Profile job end-to-end. For a small business owner, 80% of the value is in that one job.

Yes. Onboarding takes ~5 minutes: connect your GBP, pick your voice, done. We'll seed your dashboard with historical review drafts and start replying to new reviews automatically.
Does Mainstreet do review requests via SMS?
Currently email-only for review request campaigns. If SMS is a must-have, keep Birdeye for that specifically or wait — SMS review-request is on our roadmap.
Does Mainstreet integrate with my CRM?
Not directly today. Mainstreet operates on the Google Business Profile layer; your CRM manages your customer list. They coexist — no data sync needed.
