FEATURE COMPARISON
See the difference, step by step.
“Direct QR” means a plain QR pointing to Google, without an additional review platform.
| Capability | Direct Google QR | reviewbuddy.in + Riya |
|---|---|---|
| Customer writing assistance | Customers write on Google | One editable Riya draft, with a rewrite option |
| Language selection | Uses Google’s available interface | English, Hindi and Hinglish in the review journey |
| Business context | No separate drafting step | Saved keywords used only when supported by the experience |
| Wording approval | Customer controls text on Google | Customer checks and approves the draft before copying |
| Google handoff | Opens the Google destination directly | Copies approved text and opens the saved Google destination |
| Business identity | Customers see the Google listing | A business name, logo and location before the handoff |
| Printable artwork | Depends on the QR design tool | Counter Card, Table Stand and Wall Poster designs |
| Artwork customisation | Depends on the QR design tool | Custom logo, display name, tagline and accent colour |
| Downloads | Depends on the QR design tool | Print-size PNG and Print / Save PDF |
| Journey analytics | A plain QR has no intermediate journey report | Observed visits, approvals and Google opens |
| Critical feedback | Customer decides what to post | All ratings welcome; no rating-based private diversion |
| AI usage | No AI requests required | Monthly allowance and provider availability apply |
A QR code can be static or dynamic and can be placed in custom artwork. Other QR platforms may offer tracking. This comparison describes a plain direct link, not every QR product. Google opens are not confirmed posted reviews.
A starting point that stays personal.
Riya works from the customer’s input. It aims for 3–4 short sentences when genuine detail supports them, without inventing a service, outcome or recommendation.
Let customers use familiar words.
English, Hindi and Hinglish are available in the customer journey. The person checks whether the draft still expresses what they meant.
Relevant details, naturally included.
Saved service and location terms can provide context. They are not mandatory phrases, and neither keywords nor review collection guarantees a Google ranking.
CHOOSE WHAT FITS
Prefer a direct link or a guided experience?
A direct QR is useful when customers want to write immediately on Google. reviewbuddy.in is useful when they want help expressing their experience and you want a consistent branded journey.
The guided route adds steps before Google. Test it with your customers rather than assuming it will improve every business’s conversion rate.
A few practical answers.
Does scanning post a review automatically?
No. The customer approves their words, copies the draft and continues to Google. They still choose their stars, paste the text and tap Post themselves.
Are unhappy customers shown a different destination?
No. All ratings are welcome. The Google handoff is not restricted to favourable feedback.
Does the customer need a reviewbuddy.in account?
No reviewbuddy.in account or app is required. Posting on Google requires the customer’s own Google account.
Do I need to connect the Google API?
The customer handoff needs a valid saved Google review URL. Importing reviews and publishing business replies are separate features requiring approved Google setup and an authorised connection.
What if Riya is unavailable?
The customer’s original experience stays visible with a retry path. AI allowances and provider capacity apply; the original text is not presented as a newly generated draft.
