Pricing model
Pricing changes often and each tool prices differently (per seat, per minute, per call, or usage based). Rather than freeze a number that goes stale, we link straight to each vendor’s own pricing page so you see the current model at the source.
What customers say
Verbatim public reviews, praise and complaints both, each linked to where it was posted. We do not edit or cherry-pick for tone.
Aspire
4.3/5 · 168 reviews“It genuinely celebrates hard work, teamwork, and passion across the organization. It creates a positive culture by encouraging collaboration, appreciation, and shared success.”
“Sometimes it works a little slowly and hangs; the UI looks a little dull.”
“The Allie chatbot and Teams integration is awesome. It is very easy to use.”
“It is not the easiest to navigate looking for specific training that have not been assigned to you.”
WorkWave
3.8/5 · 160 reviews“They always have enough Slingshot operators to answer the phones and generally don't miss calls. Love the ability to listen to call recordings and check for quality assurance.”
“I contacted their department 17 times before I received a refund when I was overbilled by several thousands of dollars. This is not ethical.”
“It's great to have evening and weekend phone coverage without hiring a full time person in house.”
“The operators are extremely inconsistent on the phones and frequently answered with the wrong business name, gave inaccurate pricing, and said we offered services we don't offer.”
