Asterias vs Partoo
Partoo is a French presence management platform: pushing a location’s details to Google, Apple Maps, Waze and other directories, review management, messaging, store locator. Billing is yearly, per point of sale, and on quote.
Asterias has one purpose: answering Google reviews, for one to five businesses, at 14 € a month published openly. It is not a smaller Partoo, it is a different product.

Which to choose, without hedging
Take Partoo if you have several locations to keep current across many platforms, if you need a store locator, or if your organisation is used to annual contracts. It is a serious tool for that work.
Take Asterias if you are the owner of one to five businesses, if your Google profile is already fine, and if what costs you time is answering reviews.
The question to ask is not price but how many profiles you maintain. Below five, a presence management platform is oversized. Above, Asterias is no longer enough.
The quote is the real difference in kind
Quoted pricing is not a flaw: it follows from a product whose price legitimately depends on the number of locations and the scope agreed. It does however imply a sales conversation and an annual commitment.
A shopkeeper who wants to know the cost before handing over a phone number is not in that frame. That is why Asterias publishes its price and can be subscribed to without talking to anyone.
Where Asterias is better
- A published price and signup with no sales meeting.
- No annual commitment.
- Writing the replies in your tone, not just managing them.
- Approval in a conversation rather than a platform.
Where Partoo is better
- Distributing your details to directories, maps and satnav.
- Tracking reviews from platforms other than Google.
- The store locator and customer messaging.
- Running a network of dozens or hundreds of locations.
How to decide on evidence
Count your Google profiles. One, or two: Asterias covers the subject. Above five, the question no longer arises.
During the seven day trial Asterias drafts replies to your real reviews, in the tone taken from your past ones, before anything is published.
Asterias never touches your profile information: hours, address and photos stay entirely on your side.

Does Asterias update my opening hours on Google?
No. Asterias reads your reviews and publishes replies, nothing else.
Can I use both?
Yes, as long as only one of them answers reviews. The rest does not overlap.
Do I have to sign an annual contract with Asterias?
No. Monthly subscription, seven day trial, cancel in one click.
