An alternative to Podium for your Google reviews
Podium is a US platform built around customer messaging and payments for local businesses, with review management as one part of a wider suite. AvisNova does one thing instead: it answers every Google review you have, in seconds, in the language your customer wrote it in.
What AvisNova does differently
Replies in your customer's language
A review written in Arabic gets an Arabic reply. Same for English, French and more — without you writing a word.
Clears your backlog in one batch
Paste your reviews or upload a CSV, generate every reply at once. Hundreds of unanswered reviews handled in an afternoon.
Honest about fake reviews
Monitoring, timestamped evidence and help reporting real policy breaches. No promise of removal, because that promise is a scam.
When Podium is the better choice
Honestly: if your priority is a full messaging and payments stack rather than review replies specifically. AvisNova is deliberately narrow — it manages Google reviews and Google Business posts, and it does that well. If you need more than that, Podium will serve you better.
Frequently asked questions
Is AvisNova a real alternative to Podium?
For Google review management, yes. AvisNova drafts a reply to every review in seconds, in the reviewer's own language, and lets you clear a backlog of hundreds of unanswered reviews in one batch. It does not try to be an all-in-one suite.
Can I move my existing reviews over?
You don't need an integration or an API key. Paste your reviews straight from your Google profile, or upload a CSV export, and AvisNova reads the rating, the customer name and the text automatically.
Does AvisNova remove negative or fake reviews?
No — and no tool honestly can. Google only removes reviews that break its policies. AvisNova monitors your profile for suspicious activity, keeps timestamped evidence, and helps you report what genuinely violates the rules. Anyone promising guaranteed removal is selling you something that doesn't exist.
What does AvisNova cost?
There is a free plan with 10 replies a month. Paid plans start at AED 199/month with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required.
