A NiceJob alternative when the problem is replying
NiceJob is a review generation tool: automated email and SMS follow ups after a customer visit, testimonial widgets on your site, sharing your best reviews. Its entry plan is advertised at 75 $ a month; AI written replies sit on the higher plan at 125 $, and a setup fee of 199 $ is advertised.
If you have eleven reviews and need a hundred, NiceJob answers exactly your problem and Asterias will be of no use. If you already have two hundred and half are waiting for a reply, it is the other way round.

Asking for reviews and answering them are not the same effort
Asking for a review is a message sent after a visit. It is industrial by nature: the same message suits everyone, and the only variable is when it goes out.
Answering is the opposite: every reply has to talk about the review it handles, or it shows. That is why replying cannot be industrialised with a template, and why the chore comes back every week.
The entry price is not the price of the feature
At NiceJob, AI written replies are not on the entry plan: they are on the tier above. If that is the only thing you want, you pay for everything else first.
At Asterias there is nothing else to pay for: answering reviews is the entire product, and the only difference between the two plans is how many businesses you have.
What you gain
- Review replies on the base plan, with no upgrade needed.
- No setup fee.
- Approval on WhatsApp or Telegram, without opening a platform.
- A tone learnt from your own published replies.
What you lose
- Email and SMS review generation campaigns.
- Testimonial widgets on your site.
- Sharing your best reviews to social channels.
- Tracking reviews from anywhere other than Google.
How to judge before you pay
Look at your profile first: if you have few reviews, Asterias is not the right purchase. We would rather say it here than let you find out after a charge.
If you have reviews waiting, the trial handles them: Asterias reads the history, works out your tone, and drafts replies before anything is published.
Nothing goes out unapproved below four stars unless you explicitly change that, and a review flagging something serious always comes back to you.
Common questions
Can Asterias ask my customers for reviews?
No, and it will not. Asterias never contacts your customers: it replies publicly to those who have already written.
Can I use both?
Yes, and it is coherent: NiceJob to get reviews, Asterias to answer them. Make sure only one of the two publishes replies.
Is there a setup fee with Asterias?
No. The published price is the whole price, and the first seven days are free.
