TL;DR
Birdeye does not publish prices. Its pricing page is a form with six location-count bands, and its own August 2026 cost article says pricing is per location, modular and sold on annual agreements. Three third-party reads from 2026 agree on the shape: a single location starts around $299 a month billed annually or $349 monthly, the middle tier (Growth or Professional) runs $399 to $599, the top tier starts at $449 and goes to a quote, and per-location rates fall to about $199 to $249 at ten or more locations. Contracts are twelve months, auto-renew, and one source reports a 90-day cancellation window and an 8 percent renewal increase. For a single-location contractor, $3,600 to $4,200 a year for reviews, listings and messaging is expensive next to Jobber's built-in review requests ($29 a month), NiceJob ($75 to $175) or even Podium ($399). Birdeye earns its price at five locations and up.
Disclosure: Skill Mammoth has no arrangement with Birdeye, Podium or NiceJob. We are a Jobber partner (readers get 20 percent off through our link, and we earn a commission), which is relevant to the single-location section. Birdeye's figures below are attributed to the third-party sources that reported them, because the vendor's own site gives none; the Birdeye statements come from its pricing page and cost article as read on October 12, 2026.
What Birdeye's own site says
The pricing page at birdeye.com/pricing is a lead form. It asks for your email, company, name, mobile number and a location count in six bands: 1 to 3, 4 to 9, 10 to 39, 40 to 249, 250 to 999, and 1,000 and up. The copy says pricing is "built around outcomes, not seat counts" and that you pay for what you deploy at your locations under one contract. The products are now named like coworkers: Jay (marketing: reviews, listings, social, AI search, pages), Myna (operations: front desk, appointments, reminders, waitlist), Robin (customer experience: surveys, insights, ticketing), all on BirdAI.
Birdeye's cost article, updated August 14, 2026, is more useful than the form. It confirms three things without a dollar figure: pricing is "evaluated on a per-location basis" and gets cheaper per location as you add them; the platform is modular, so you can start with core products and add later; and agreements are typically annual, paid upfront or on a schedule. It also says pricing is not seat-based, which is the one structural advantage over HubSpot-style tools for a business with many staff and one storefront.
What three 2026 sources report
| Source and date | Entry tier | Middle tier | Top tier | Contract notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reviewflowz (competitor), January 5, 2026 | Standard $349 a month, or $299 billed annually, quoted even for one location | Professional $449 billed annually; difference from Standard is the website chatbot | Premium, no price; needed for the full marketing suite | Reports multi-year contracts being pushed; a brand can count as a location; about $3,600 a year for one |
| WiserReview (competitor), updated July 9, 2026 | Starter $299 to $349 | Growth $399 to $599 | Dominate $449 to $699 and up; Custom at 4-plus locations | 12-month contract billed monthly, 90-day written notice to cancel, auto-renews, about 8 percent "innovation fee" on renewal, early termination can charge the balance |
| Pabau (clinic software vendor), updated October 6, 2026 | Starter about $299 | Growth about $349 | Dominate by quote | 12-month minimum commonly reported; auto-renewal a common complaint; no free plan |
| Verdict | Three sources, three vendors with something to sell, and they still land within $50 of each other on the entry tier: about $299 to $349 a month for one location, on a twelve-month term. Treat that as the floor and the term as fixed. | |||
Per-location math, one to twenty-five
WiserReview's Growth-tier estimate is the only multi-location table in print, and it matches what Birdeye says about volume: $399 a month for one location, $349 each at three ($1,047 a month), $299 each at five ($1,495), $249 each at ten ($2,490), and about $199 each negotiated at 25 and up ($4,975 and up). Those are before add-ons, which the same source puts at $50 to $200 a month per location each (mass texting, referrals, surveys, competitor tracking, Google Seller Ratings, BI dashboards), before 10DLC carrier fees of one to three cents a text, and before integration setup of $500 to $2,000 for a CRM, POS or practice-management connection. Its all-in estimate is $420 to $500 a month for a single location quoted at $349, and $2,400 to $2,800 for five locations quoted at $399 each. Pabau's single-location figure is about $4,188 a year on Growth. Reviewflowz lands at about $3,600 a year for one. Across the three, a one-location buyer should budget $3,600 to $6,000 a year all in.

What the contract does to the price
The twelve-month term is what every source and most negative reviews agree on, and it changes the comparison more than the monthly number does. A $349 monthly plan is a $4,188 commitment the day you sign, cancellable only by written notice 90 days before renewal per WiserReview's read, and subject to an increase of about 8 percent at renewal if the "innovation fee" they describe applies to your agreement. Birdeye's own article frames annual terms as a benefit (match spending to rollout timing) and says nothing about notice periods. So the questions for the rep are concrete: the term, the notice window in days, whether renewal pricing is capped in writing, whether the brand or the storefront is the billable location, and what the early-termination balance is. Birdeye has more than 3,000 G2 reviews and a 3.8 on Trustpilot per Reviewflowz, which is a healthier company score than most vendors in this category, so the contract is the risk, not the product.

Birdeye against the alternatives, priced
| Product | Price | Meter | Built for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birdeye | About $299 to $349 a month for one location (third-party reports); $199 to $249 per location at ten-plus; quote only from the vendor | Per location, annual | Multi-location brands: reviews, listings, messaging, surveys, AI search |
| Podium | Core $399, Pro $599 a month; $5 10DLC fee per location; Phones $30 a seat | Per location, published | Single and multi-location; texting-first reviews and payments |
| NiceJob | $75 to $175 a month (reported range) | Per account | Home service companies that want review automation and little else |
| Weave | From about $199 a month; setup fees reported at $500 to $750 | Per office | Dental, medical and vet offices: phones plus texting plus reviews |
| Jobber | Core $29 a month billed annually, review requests included | Per account plus users | Home service trades that already need scheduling and invoicing |
| Verdict | Below five locations, Podium publishes a price and Jobber or NiceJob cost a tenth as much for the review part. At five locations and up, Birdeye's per-location decline and its listings and survey depth start to justify the quote. | ||
Who should buy it
A multi-location business that needs listings managed across every directory, review requests at every storefront, surveys with location-level reporting and one inbox for the whole brand, and that has someone whose job is to use the reports. Dental groups, physical therapy chains, auto service networks and home service franchises at five locations and up are the sweet spot, and the per-location price at ten is in the same range as Podium's single-location price. A single-location contractor should read our guide to getting to 100 Google reviews first, because the mechanics there cost nothing, then price Podium and Jobber before Birdeye. If you are comparing the two big platforms head to head, the Podium comparison covers how each one handles texting, payments and the carrier fees that neither one leads with.
Three things to skip
Skip a multi-year agreement no matter the discount; the per-location price falls as you add locations, so the bargaining power sits with you, and a twelve-month term is already long enough to find out whether your staff use it. Skip the add-ons in year one; mass texting, referral programs and competitor tracking at $50 to $200 a month per location each can double the bill before you have proof the core product moved your review count. And skip any quote that counts your brand as a location if you have one storefront; Reviewflowz reported that pattern, and it is the difference between $299 and a multi-location rate card.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Birdeye cost per month?
Birdeye does not publish prices. Three 2026 third-party reports put a single location at about $299 a month billed annually or $349 monthly for the entry tier, $399 to $599 for the middle tier, and $449 and up to a quote for the top tier. Per-location rates fall to roughly $199 to $249 at ten or more locations. Add-ons run $50 to $200 a month per location each.
Does Birdeye require a contract?
Yes. Birdeye's own cost article (August 2026) says agreements are typically annual. Third-party reports describe a twelve-month term billed monthly, auto-renewal, a 90-day written cancellation window, and a renewal increase of about 8 percent, with early termination charging the remaining balance. Confirm each of those in the order form before signing.
Is Birdeye worth it for a small business?
For one location, usually not: $3,600 to $6,000 a year all in buys reviews, listings and messaging that Jobber includes from $29 a month, NiceJob sells for $75 to $175, and Podium sells on a published price at $399. Birdeye's per-location pricing starts to make sense at five locations and is competitive at ten.
What is the difference between Birdeye and Podium pricing?
Podium publishes its prices: Core $399 and Pro $599 a month per location, plus a $5 carrier fee and $30 a seat for phones. Birdeye quotes per location and is reported at $299 to $349 for one, falling with volume. At one location Podium is pricier but transparent; at ten, Birdeye's reported $249 per location undercuts it.
Does Birdeye have a free plan or trial?
No free plan. Birdeye's pricing page offers no trial, and third-party reports describe any trial as limited to parts of the social tools. Podium and NiceJob offer trials or demos; Jobber offers a 14-day trial that includes its review requests.
