The Best Vocal Video Alternative - Trust

Vocal Video and Trust are both versatile video testimonial tools. However, unlike Trust, Vocal Video does not qualify as a “full-suite testimonial tool.”

Why is Trust the best alternative to Vocal Video?

  • Vocal Video is almost twice as expensive as Trust. Despite lacking advanced testimonial form customizations, editing, and teleprompting functionalities, Vocal Video is one of the most expensive video tools. For example, Vocal Video’s Pro plan costs $1,668 yearly, while Trust’s Video Studio’s Pro plan costs just $720 yearly.

  • Trust has more form customizations: With Trust, you can record video questions or type in written Q&As, set up teleprompting, collect customer consent, and more to make the testimonial collection process extra interactive while drastically reducing your customers’ effort. Unfortunately, Vocal Video falls short of these features.

  • Vocal Video has a very restricting free plan: You cannot customize video testimonial request forms and messages with a Vocal Video’s free account. Meanwhile, Trust gives you a free-forever plan with all features with Trust’s branding.

  • Vocal Video is a basic video pro tool compared to Trust’s full-suite solution: From hyper-customizations of video requests to advanced editing, Trust overtakes Vocal Video.

In short: Trust is more feature-packed and a one-stop solution for video social proof. Vocal Video is 2.3x more expensive than Trust despite lacking advanced editing, form customization, and built-in automation.

Vocal Video features

❌ No text, only video testimonials with a template-based or basic customizable form

❌ No teleprompting, forcing customers to be well-prepared with answers beforehand

❌ Lack of an advanced video editor. Also, the editor auto-edits customer responses (adds a theme, adjusts frame, adds graphics, and more), thus taking away the recipient’s control over the final output
❌ Vocal Video limits the number of video collection forms or campaigns you can create on paid plans. For example, the Pro plan allows only up to 10 collection forms with 10 questions per form and costs $139/month
❌ You must integrate with an external tool like Zapier or others to schedule testimonial requests via email
❌ Vocal Video has no option for users to import external reviews onto their dashboard for ease of access

❌ Vocal Video has limited display options. You can create a dynamic video gallery that can be used as a standalone landing page or embedded on your website
