About Shoutout

Shoutout is the definitive solution for businesses looking to harness the power of social proof without the typical complexity and recurring costs. It is a streamlined platform designed to collect, manage, and beautifully display customer testimonials, transforming positive feedback into a powerful conversion engine. The core value proposition is simplicity and effectiveness: you can start gathering video or text testimonials from customers in seconds using a simple, no-login link, and then showcase them across your website with customizable, professional widgets. Founded in 2020 and built by makers for makers, Shoutout eliminates the need for bloated, expensive tools. It is perfect for founders, marketers, SaaS companies, course creators, and freelancers who need to build trust and credibility quickly. With a focus on a one-time payment for lifetime access, it provides an affordable, long-term alternative to subscription-based competitors, ensuring your customer stories work for you 24/7 to drive more sales and reduce buyer hesitation.

Features of Shoutout

No-Login Testimonial Collection

Shoutout revolutionizes the feedback gathering process by removing all friction for your customers. You generate a simple, unique link that can be sent via email, chat, or SMS. Recipients can instantly submit a video or text testimonial without creating an account, logging in, or navigating a complicated form. This drastically increases submission rates by making it effortless for happy customers to share their experiences, ensuring you capture authentic social proof while the positive sentiment is highest.

Customizable Display Widgets & Walls

Once collected, Shoutout provides multiple elegant ways to showcase your testimonials. You can choose from responsive widgets, sleek carousels, or full "Walls of Love" layouts. These elements are fully customizable to match your brand's aesthetics, including colors, fonts, and styles. They can be embedded anywhere on your website with simple copy-paste code, requiring no technical expertise. This flexibility allows you to place social proof strategically on landing pages, product pages, or checkout screens.

Unlimited Testimonials & Embeds

Unlike many tools that limit your growth, Shoutout offers true scalability on its plans. You can collect an unlimited number of video and text testimonials and create unlimited embeds and published walls across your allowed projects. This means you never have to worry about hitting a cap or paying more as your library of customer success stories grows, making it a future-proof investment for your business's social proof strategy.

White-Label & Custom Branding

For a professional, seamless integration, Shoutout offers optional white-label capabilities. This allows you to completely remove any "Powered by Shoutout" branding from your testimonial collection forms and displayed widgets. Your testimonials will appear 100% as an organic part of your own brand experience, enhancing credibility and providing a polished, custom look that aligns perfectly with your website's design.

Use Cases of Shoutout

Boosting E-commerce Conversion Rates

Online stores face high cart abandonment rates due to a lack of trust. By embedding Shoutout's testimonial carousels on product pages and a "Wall of Love" on the homepage, e-commerce businesses can display verified buyer reviews and video testimonials. This social proof directly addresses purchase hesitancy, answers common product questions, and demonstrates real-world satisfaction, leading to higher add-to-cart rates and reduced friction at checkout.

Validating SaaS & Digital Products

For SaaS companies and digital course creators, the risk for a prospect is perceived as high. Shoutout helps mitigate this by showcasing video testimonials from successful users and students. Embedding these stories on pricing pages, sales funnels, and feature highlight sections provides tangible evidence of results and ROI. This validation helps overcome skepticism, shortens the sales cycle, and convinces potential customers that your product delivers on its promises.

Enhancing Service-Based Business Credibility

Freelancers, consultants, and agencies can use Shoutout to build a powerful portfolio of client praise. Collecting video testimonials that highlight specific results, professionalism, and positive working relationships is incredibly compelling. Displaying this feedback on a dedicated "Testimonials" page or within a website sidebar acts as a constant referral, building instant trust with prospective clients before the first discovery call even begins.

Creating Standalone Testimonial Hubs

Businesses can use Shoutout to create beautiful, standalone testimonial pages (like a "Wall of Love") that serve as a central hub for all customer praise. This single link can be powerfully used in email signatures, social media bios, pitch decks, and investor materials. It provides a comprehensive, shareable asset that tells the complete story of customer satisfaction and success, all curated in one easily accessible location.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "lifetime access" mean?

Lifetime access means you pay a single, one-time fee for the current version of Shoutout and can use it forever on the number of projects specified in your plan. This includes all core features like unlimited testimonials, embeds, and published walls. It is a cost-effective alternative to monthly or annual subscriptions, saving you significant money over time. The lifetime deal also includes two years of guaranteed software updates and new features from the date of purchase.

What is your refund policy?

Shoutout offers a 100% money-back guarantee within 7 days of your purchase. If you find the tool is not the right fit for your needs within that first week, you can request a full refund with no questions asked. This policy is designed to let you try Shoutout risk-free and ensure it meets your expectations for collecting and displaying testimonials effectively.

How many websites can I use Shoutout on?

The standard lifetime and monthly plans support up to 3 separate websites or projects. This is ideal for small businesses, entrepreneurs, or agencies managing a few client sites. You can create unique testimonial collection links and display widgets for each project, keeping your social proof organized and targeted. For needs beyond three projects, you would need to purchase additional plan seats.

What happens after 2 years of updates?

After the included 2-year period of updates, your lifetime license remains active permanently. You retain access to all the features and functionality available at the end of those two years. You can continue to use that version of Shoutout forever without any additional payments. If you wish to receive major new versions and feature updates released after that period, you may have the option to renew your update coverage at a discounted rate.
