Shoutout is a good fit if you want to pay once. It collects text and video testimonials and imports praise from X, and a lifetime deal costs $199. Testimonials in Privatus Analytics is a subscription feature of a product that is actively changing, with imports, an inbox and an API.

Where Shoutout may suit you better
Things Shoutout does that Testimonials in Privatus Analytics does not do the same way. If one of these matters most to you, choose Shoutout.
- A one-time price of $199 with unlimited testimonials, embeds and walls and 2 years of updates [2]
- Simple copy and paste embeds, with set-up pages for Webflow, Shopify, WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Bubble, Framer and Notion [1]
- Import of praise from X bookmarks and mentions, and CSV import, into the same wall [4]
How Testimonials in Privatus Analytics differs from Shoutout
- You can see what a testimonial did. Privatus Analytics is also your site's analytics, so a goal, a funnel or an experiment on the same page shows it.
- One price covers both. Paid plans start at $9 a month, tax included, and that is the whole of Privatus Analytics.
- You can start with everything you have. Imports never count toward your month, and the free plan's 5 new testimonials are counted fresh each month.
- Forms, widgets and walls are not metered. Views are never billed.
- A second brand costs nothing extra. Each brand is a site, with 3 sites on Free and as many as you need on paid plans.
- No kind word is lost. One that arrives over your monthly number waits for you, a deleted one stays in the trash for 30 days, and every edit keeps a history.
- Your visitors are left alone. Widgets, walls and forms set no cookies on their devices.
Fewer limits
Collect and share without counting
Shoutout covers 3 projects per purchase, and the pages we read state no API, translation or custom domain. Here a second brand is a second site at no cost, and the API and an MCP server are on every plan.
- As many forms, widgets and walls as you want on every plan, and views are never billed.
- 5 new testimonials a month on Free, 1,000 on Pro and 10,000 on Business. Imports never count.
- A testimonial over your monthly number is kept in full and waits for the next month or an upgrade. Widgets keep showing.
Management made easy
One inbox for everything people said
Every testimonial from a form, an import, a request, the API or your own hands lands in one inbox. Triage them one at a time, or search, filter and act on many at once.
- Tags, saved views and collections on every plan, with bulk actions you can undo.
- A consent record, a verified mark and a history of every edit on each testimonial.
- A trash that keeps a deleted testimonial for 30 days, and a spreadsheet export on every plan.
Bring them from anywhere
Import what people already said about you
