How to switch from Podium to BlooTrue in 3 steps
- 1
Find your business
Open the BlooTrue widget page for the platform your reviews are on and search your business name. Your reviews come from your public profiles, so there is nothing to export from Podium.
- 2
Pick a style and get the code
Choose a layout and enter your email. The one-line embed code arrives in your inbox, with no account or password needed.

Swap the embed code
Paste the BlooTrue line where the Podium review widget sat. You can keep Podium for messaging; the BlooTrue widget doesn’t depend on it.
What Do You Get on Every BlooTrue Plan?
Whatever you decide about Podium, this is the full BlooTrue feature set and what each plan costs.
Your reviews readable by AI, on paid plans
On Starter, Pro and Business the embed writes your review text, rating and count into your page HTML, with schema.org markup, and the script swaps in the animated widget for visitors. AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read the HTML your server sends; they do not run widget JavaScript or read third-party iframes. Free BlooTrue widgets render inside an iframe that those crawlers skip.
Unlimited views on every plan, free included
No impression caps, no monthly view quota, no widget paused or hidden because a page got traffic. This is true on the free plan too. Most competitors meter views and move you up a tier when a page does well.
Unlimited widgets and domains on paid plans
Paid plans put no cap on how many widgets you build or how many domains you embed them on, with a domain allowlist to control where they render. Pricing moves on locations, not on websites, so landing pages and microsites do not each cost extra.
20+ review sources, 100+ styles on paid plans
Google, Facebook, Trustpilot, Yelp, TripAdvisor, G2, Capterra, Airbnb, Booking.com and more. Over 100 widget styles with light and dark themes, custom accent colours and star animations on paid plans; the free plan ships one branded widget in 5 styles. Reviews auto-translate into 68+ languages.
What Does Each Plan Include?
Free forever — 1 branded widget of any type, unlimited widget views with no impression cap, 1 connected review source on any platform, 5 widget styles, auto-translation into 68+ languages.

All-in-one widgets blend its 3 platforms; Pro blends every platform. 1 location included, extra locations $5/month each.
$290/year billed annually
