Shout About Us alternative for developers

Shout About Us sells review APIs to platforms, agencies and multi-location brands: review data from 83 listed sites, AI insights, AI-drafted replies, review requests and more, priced per location plus usage, with an annual contract. If what you need is the reviews themselves inside your product, with a price you can read before you sign up, Prisma is the lighter option. It reads reviews from 58 platforms in one JSON format, sends a webhook for every new review and publishes replies where the platform’s official API allows it. 2 locations free, then plans from €49 a month, billed monthly.

2 locations free. Test keys return sample reviews from every platform. No contract.

Two ways to sell a reviews API

• Shout About Us is a suite of review APIs: data, insights, responses, solicitation, removal and first-party reviews. You pick the APIs, get a quote for the usage, and sign for a year. It has been doing this since 2012 and lists many directories, including medical, automotive and senior-living sites.
• Prisma is one API for the reviews of the businesses and apps you own or manage. Every price is public, the free plan has no time limit, and you can cancel any month.

Shout About Us pricing

Shout About Us publishes part of its price: an access fee of $0.50 to $3.00 per location a month, lower as you add locations, plus usage for each API you turn on. The usage rates are “included in your quote”, the 14-day trial comes with a set number of credits, and contracts start with an annual term, billed monthly on the previous month’s usage.

Prisma’s prices are all on the pricing page: Spark free for 2 connected locations, Beam €49 a month for 10, Spectrum €149 for 50, Aurora €499 for 200, 20% off yearly, no setup fee, cancel anytime. Usage is included: reviews from platforms with official APIs cost nothing extra, and each paid plan includes reads for Yelp, Tripadvisor and Booking.com.

At several hundred locations Shout About Us’s access fee can be lower than a Prisma plan, before usage. Below that, or when you need a number before a sales call, Prisma is simpler to cost.

Shout About Us vs Prisma: honest comparison

What Prisma doesn’t do

• read the medical, automotive, legal and senior-living directories that Shout About Us lists,
• write replies or analyse sentiment with AI,
• send review requests,
• read reviews of businesses you don’t own or manage.

If any of these is a must-have, Shout About Us is the better choice. If you need the reviews of your own locations and apps with a public price, Prisma covers that with less to sign.

When to choose each

Choose Shout About Us if you serve a vertical such as healthcare, automotive or senior living and need its directories, you want AI insights and drafted replies from the same vendor, or you run so many locations that a per-location fee plus usage is cheaper for you.

Choose Prisma if you are building reviews into your own product, you are an agency that wants to start with a few clients and grow, you run many locations and want the data in your warehouse, or you want to try the real API today and decide next month.

What the API looks like in code

# Every review across all platforms since 1 October, newest first
curl "https://api.prismareviews.com/v1/reviews?since=2026-10-01T00:00:00Z" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PRISMA_API_KEY"

const res = await fetch("https://api.prismareviews.com/v1/reviews?rating_max=2&has_reply=false", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.PRISMA_API_KEY}` },
});
const { data } = await res.json();
for (const r of data) console.log(r.platform, r.rating, r.author, r.url);

import os, requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.prismareviews.com/v1/reviews/rev_789/reply",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['PRISMA_API_KEY']}"},
    json={"text": "Thanks, Laura. Glad the new booking flow worked for you."},
)
print(r.status_code)  # 202, reply queued for publishing

Every review has the same fields whatever the platform: id, platform, location_id, rating, title, text, author, language, created_at, updated_at, reply and url. Start with the quickstart.

Moving from Shout About Us to Prisma in 5 steps

1. Check your contract’s end date: Shout About Us contracts start with an annual term.
2. Export your history and keep it; Prisma keeps history from the day you connect.
3. Get a Prisma API key with a free account and build against the test key first.
4. Connect each location with POST /v1/connections: the owner signs in (OAuth), gives the platform’s API credentials, or pastes the public page of the business. Prisma never asks for passwords.
5. Subscribe to webhooks (review.created, review.updated, reply.published, reply.failed) and run both until the counts per location match. See review webhooks.

FAQ

How much does Shout About Us cost?

Shout About Us publishes a per-location access fee of $0.50 to $3.00 a month, falling with volume, plus usage for each API you turn on.

If you need medical, automotive or senior-living directories, Shout About Us lists more of them.

Does Prisma write review replies with AI?
