What Thryv customers actually report
Trustpilot rates Thryv 2.3 out of 5 from roughly 394 reviews, and its BBB profile logs 358 complaints in three years (its own software scores a friendlier 4.2 on Capterra). The dominant complaint themes are auto-renewing contracts, phone-only cancellation with 29 to 30 day notice, and continued billing after cancellation.
“Over a month long of trying to cancel the account because of no ROI, insane contract verbiage we didn't see or agree to, added on services and payments we didn't sign or agree to.”
“You did not produce what you said, and when i canceled you hit my account for $744 within two weeks after I canceled which should have been 30 days.”
“You'll get snake oil salesmen left right and center that over promise and under deliver, and then when you reach out to a representative to cancel, they send you to another one.”
“Cancellation requires 29 days and you have to speak with the cancellation department. I really enjoyed my business associate, but other than that, you can get so much more from much less expensive memberships.”
“Theyve stated that I signed a contract until 8/31/27. They will not let me end services immediately as I have requested on at least 3 occasions.”
“The system is easy to use and has made our scheduling so much easier. Having the ability to manage our socials and analytics from one place ensures we are more efficient.”
What you’re really getting with Thryv
Thryv is an all-in-one software platform for small businesses that bundles marketing tools with day-to-day operations: CRM, appointment scheduling, listings management, and social media tools live in one system. Its Marketing Center plan starts at $244/mo, and unlike most competitors in this space, Thryv publishes its base pricing openly on thryv.com/pricing.
The model is software plus support rather than done-for-you service. Thryv gives you the dashboard, templates, and automation, and your team logs in and runs the campaigns. Getting started involves a 6-month initial commitment, and onboarding fees plus add-on charges land on top of the advertised subscription price, so the real first-year cost is higher than the sticker suggests.
Thryv fits established small businesses that want one hub for operations and marketing and have someone on staff with the time to use it every week. Businesses looking for a team to actually produce their content and manage their campaigns are buying a different product entirely.
Thryv's biggest strength is honesty about its base price, which is genuinely rare in small business marketing. The catches sit around the edges: the 6-month initial commitment means you can't test it for a month and walk away, and onboarding and add-on fees inflate the advertised $244/mo. The deeper issue is the category itself. Thryv is a tool, so its value depends entirely on whether you or an employee consistently do the marketing work inside it. Plenty of small businesses buy all-in-one software and end up using one or two modules while paying for the whole suite.
For a business that wants marketing output (posts published, ads running, content shipped) without hiring or doing it themselves, a done-for-you service is the more direct purchase. At $244/mo plus fees and a half-year commitment, Thryv costs more to start than a $99/mo productized plan that includes the actual work.
Thryv hands you software and expects you to run the marketing yourself; Feedbird does the marketing for you from $99/mo with no contract, no setup fees, and published a la carte pricing.
Thryv is a fair pick for local businesses that want one vendor and a phone number to call.
We'd genuinely point you their way if that's you. Where teams switch to Feedbird is when they want custom, on-brand work they approve first, a flat published price, and the freedom to cancel any month, without chasing a rep to do it.

Real results, in their
own words.
What changed when small business owners handed social to a team that actually owns it.
"Feedbird creates social media content that's better and more affordable than what we can produce in-house. Went from 6 hours per client to just the 15 minutes needed for review and approval."
"It takes the socials off my hands but still gives me control over the end result given their review process. The onboarding was extremely thorough, there were very few edits required."
"Immigration law isn't exactly known for visually exciting content, but Feedbird proved that wrong. Every post is creative, on-brand, and actually looks good."
"We've been working with Feedbird for a few years now and we continue to be very pleased. They have different creators so things don't get stale."
"Feedbird is hands down the best decision I've made for my business in years. They've completely transformed my social media presence."
"Outstanding content with expert advice. Very happy! The process is easy to follow and I especially appreciate their carousel post add-on."
"I've tried many companies in the past 5 years and none was able to provide the value we get from Feedbird. The content is very relevant even though our industry is niche and technical."
"We used to spend $500 a month for the same service with a different company, so I'm so glad Feedbird exists since they charge only a quarter of that."
"Feedbird has been a total game-changer for my business. They make social media posting effortless and consistent, saving me hours every week."
