When a review app is the better pick
- You have office staff who will run it every day. Software is cheaper when someone has the time.
- You want chat, texting or payments in one app. Some review apps do much more than reviews.
- You have many locations and a big team. Large teams often want their own tools.
- You want to write every message yourself. An app gives you that.
Already use a review app?
You can switch any time. Once our asks start, turn off your old app’s asks.
Each customer should get one ask, not two.
Where the price comes from

Questions about Happlo and review apps.
Is Happlo a review app?
No. It is a service. We set it up, send the asks and do the follow-ups for you.
Do you only ask customers who liked the job?
No. We ask every customer after a finished job. Google’s rules do not allow asking only the ones you expect to be positive.
Can I keep my review app?
You can. Turn off its review asks once ours start, so customers do not get two asks.
