Why businesses switch from Podium
Reviews matter — but they're just one piece of growing your business. SUBLAKE handles the rest too.
A full AI team, not just reviews
Podium focuses on reviews and messaging. SUBLAKE gives you 4 AI employees that handle receptionist duties, review management, scheduling, and marketing — all autonomously.
Email + social marketing included
Podium has no email campaigns and no social media tools. SUBLAKE includes a full marketing suite — email sequences, social publishing, and AI-generated content.
Built-in CRM with Customer 360
Podium doesn't have a CRM — you need a separate tool to track contacts and deals. SUBLAKE unifies every customer interaction into one intelligent record.
More features, lower price
Podium charges $399/mo for reviews and messaging. SUBLAKE delivers reviews + messaging + CRM + marketing + scheduling for $299/mo. You save $100/mo and get 5x more.
More than reviews. Less than $399.
