Why Ominvo
Built for your business. Not for a franchise.
Birdeye and Podium are built for franchises and regional chains managing 10+ locations with dedicated marketing teams. Their pricing assumes a Director of Marketing approving the invoice. If you run one location — salon, restaurant, gym, dental, med spa, auto, home services — you are paying enterprise prices for features you will never open. Ominvo GigaChad at $79/month gives you everything Birdeye's Growth plan does at $349/month per location. Same competitor tracking. Same analytics. One location. One price.
What you actually pay in year one.
Not the monthly headline. The real first-year cost for a single location.
