FAQs for Home Services

How do I collect testimonials from homeowners who aren't tech-savvy?
VideoTestimonials is designed for simplicity — customers tap a link, see clear prompts, and press record. No app download, no account creation. If a customer prefers, they can leave a text testimonial instead.
Can I include before-and-after photos with video testimonials?
The form takes a video or written testimonial plus an optional profile photo, not job photos. Put your before-and-after photos on the service page beside the testimonial widget, or ask the homeowner to show the finished work on camera while they record.
Is Vocal Video better for video quality?
Both platforms record in high quality. VideoTestimonials matches Vocal Video's recording quality while also supporting text testimonials and costing significantly less.
Does VideoTestimonials have guided interviews like Vocal Video?
Yes, you can set up multi-question guided collection flows that walk customers through recording their testimonial step by step.
Why is Vocal Video so much more expensive?
Vocal Video's paid plans start at $99/mo while ours start at $24/mo. Both offer free tiers. Compare feature sets to find the best fit for your needs.
