What the subscription covers
Review records sit inside a recurring location bill
Grade.us combines collection, monitoring and response tools. Compare the services you need with the review history and response work you can own. Your current location count and billing term determine the comparison.
A charge for each location
In the 41 to 100 location range, monthly billing is US$36 per location. More locations mean more subscriptions to keep operating.
A different rate for an annual commitment
That range lists US$29 per location per month with annual billing. Compare the term as well as the monthly rate.
Collection and review monitoring
Review invitations and monitoring are services in the paid product. Your existing review records can be brought into your own response desk.
Connected responses
Grade.us supports responding to Google and Facebook reviews from its dashboard. We scope the permitted connections your own version needs.
Reports under your brand
Grade.us provides branded reporting. Here, your location reports and response evidence are produced in your business name.
History to take with you
Grade.us documents review exports. Bring the original records and notes across, then keep your response decisions beside them.

Switching
How to switch from Grade.us
The move involves exporting the review history you want to keep, mapping its columns, checking the imported records and running both systems side by side before you cancel Grade.us.
- 1
Export your review history
Grade.us documents CSV review exports. Export individual review records, not just a ratings summary, because a summary cannot recreate review history. Use the export available in your account and check with Grade.us if you cannot find it or need a different format. Include the history you want to keep, and export before cancelling.
- 2
Map and load the records
The Grade.us export columns need to be mapped to the fields Review Desk uses, since Grade.us does not publish a stable column layout. Start with a test run if your import process offers one, then load the records after checking the mapping. Decide which locations and history to bring across, and ask Enterprise DNA to handle the mapping if they are running the system for you.
- 3
Check the import results
Review any issues the import reports, then reconcile the imported record count and date range against your Grade.us export. Check that the records are assigned to the right locations and that the original review details are present. If something does not match, correct the mapping or source data and import again before relying on the new records.
- 4
Run both systems side by side
Keep Grade.us active for a short overlap while you check the imported records and use Review Desk for your review work. Continue using Grade.us for services you still need, such as collecting or monitoring reviews and connected replies. Review Desk's free version uses the records you import, so it does not collect live platform reviews or send replies.
- 5
Switch off Grade.us
Cancel Grade.us only after you have confirmed that the history you need is in Review Desk and decided how to replace any services you still depend on. Campaigns, attachments and platform permissions need separate migration work, so check those before you close the account. Keep your export and confirm your cancellation with Grade.us.
Where the real effort goes
The main work is usually mapping your own fields and response rules, then deciding how much review history to bring across and reconciling the records. Campaigns, attachments and platform permissions need separate migration work. If you have Enterprise DNA install and run Review Desk, they bring your records across and build the fields and rules with you.

Questions
Instead of Grade.us, answered
Does this replace everything Grade.us does? expand_more
The free version holds imported review records, response decisions and evidence. Grade.us also provides collection, monitoring, hosted access and connected replies. We agree which of those services you need and build the permitted connections and shared screens into your version.
Can you bring our review history across? expand_more
Yes, from the individual review exports available in your account. Grade.us documents review exports, but the column layout needs checking. We map your actual records and reconcile the counts and date range. Campaigns, attachments and platform permissions need separate migration work. Export before cancelling.
Will it publish responses or remove bad reviews? expand_more
The free version prepares private replies and records approval. Your operator posts the approved wording and records the evidence. It sends nothing and removes no reviews. Low ratings remain in the records and reports, including when you decide not to respond.
Are these live ratings and verified approvals? expand_more
The demo uses fictional reviews. The free version reports the records you imported, so counts and averages are not live platform ratings. Names on decisions are supplied by the operator. We can build identity controls and approved platform connections into your version.
How do we pay Enterprise DNA? expand_more
One setup fee, then a retainer for ongoing operation and changes. Sam agrees the work around your locations, history, connections and response rules. You own the resulting system and database.
