Best for veterinary
Below roughly 300 client visits a month, dedicated review-management software often costs more than the extra business it brings in for a veterinary clinic; above that volume, the automation reliably pays for itself. This threshold, not a generic 'get more reviews' pitch, is what should drive a small clinic's buy decision.
