ProofGateway vs Boast
Looking for a simpler, fairer testimonial tool? See why SaaS founders and agencies are choosing ProofGateway over Boast.
ProofGateway vs Boast
Boast is built primarily around video testimonials — 4K capture, automated email and SMS collection sequences, a dedicated video editor. If polished video is your core use case, Boast is purpose-built for it. But that focus comes at a price: plans start at $59/month with hard response caps (50 on Basic, 150 on Team, 500 on Premium). There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial.
For indie hackers and early-stage SaaS founders who want text testimonials live this week without a $59/month commitment, Boast is almost certainly more than you need. ProofGateway gets you from signup to live embed in under 10 minutes, for $19/month flat.
