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.
Real Green
2.6/5 · 141 reviews“I like how easy it is to navigate and use”
“Very little, unfortunately. The only positive I can point to is that RealGreen by WorkWave is a well-known platform and, in theory, offers a wide range of features across sales, scheduling, and billing.”
“You can tell that RealGreen by WorkWave was designed with the green industry in mind, the system is very tailored to the needs of the green industry.”
“I absolutely despise their customer service now that Workwave has purchased Real Green. They are difficult to get ahold of and then they are short”
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.”
