Rocket Review vs GatherUp
Rocket Review vs GatherUp
GatherUp is a full reputation management suite priced in US dollars, popular with agencies and multi-location teams. Rocket Review is a focused Google review tool for Kiwi businesses.
Starts the Growth plan, NZD $59/month excl. GST after your 14-day trial. Cancel before day 14 and you pay nothing.
The short version
GatherUp covers a lot of ground. Its core plans include feedback and review requests, Net Promoter Score surveys, review monitoring across more than 100 sites, AI-assisted replies, widgets and a full reporting suite, with agency white-label plans and paid add-ons for review disputes and directory listings.
Rocket Review does a smaller set of things: it asks customers for Google reviews by email or SMS/TXT, gives every customer the choice of a public review or private feedback, and lets you reply to Google reviews and track your rating. Both list a Xero integration.
If you are an agency, run many locations, or need NPS and monitoring of review sites beyond Google, GatherUp is built for that. If you are a single business that wants more Google reviews, Rocket Review costs less and is simpler to run.

Switching from GatherUp

If you are on a GatherUp annual plan, it is a full-year commitment even when paid monthly, so time your switch around the end of the term. You can run Rocket Review's trial alongside it in the meantime.
