How it works
From scattered DMs to a polished wall in under 5 minutes
Wire up a form
Pick a Senja-style template, customize the questions, share the link in your onboarding email or Discord.
Collect at speed
Customers submit text or video. Use email campaigns or paste in DMs from Twitter, LinkedIn, or your support inbox.
Verify, don’t rewrite
Mark strong ones verified and feature your favorites — always the customer’s exact words, never AI-rewritten.
Embed everywhere
Drop a 14 KB widget on your landing page. Shadow DOM, edge-cached, sub-500 ms load. Won’t hurt your Lighthouse score.
Features
Everything Senja does, half the price
No team-tier features you won't use. No enterprise sales calls. Just a tight, fast tool you can ship today.
Half the price of Senja
Senja Pro is $59/mo. CrowdNod Pro is $24. Same features, half the cost — because you’re bootstrapped, not series A.
Performance you’d ship
~14 KB gzipped, Shadow DOM isolated, lazy-loaded, edge-cached. Your Lighthouse score will not move.
Never rewritten, ever
Testimonials stay exactly as submitted — no AI paraphrasing. What you publish is what your customer actually said.
Video without the agency price
Browser recording, 50 MB per clip, no app downloads. Capture demo video reactions or onboarding wins.
LinkedIn & Twitter import
Paste a LinkedIn recommendation or a Twitter thread. AI extracts name, title, company, and the testimonial body.
GDPR done for you
Consent checkboxes, EU/US data residency, CSV export, and 30-day deletion. Pass any compliance audit.

Why pay twice as much?

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is this a Senja alternative?
Same core workflow — collect, verify, display — at $12/$24 instead of Senja’s $29/$59. Faster widget (~14 KB vs Senja’s ~80 KB+), and a leaner UI made for solo founders, not marketing teams.
Will it slow down my landing page?
No. The widget is ~14 KB gzipped, runs in a Shadow DOM, and loads lazily from the edge. Sub-500 ms on average. We measured, you can too.
Does the free plan cover my MVP?
15 text testimonials, 3 videos, 1 form, 1 widget. Enough to launch on Product Hunt before you pay anything.
Can I import from Senja or Testimonial.to?
Yes — export from your current tool as CSV, import to CrowdNod. Direct migration imports for Senja are on the roadmap.
Do you edit or rewrite my testimonials?
No. We never use AI to rewrite, polish, or embellish what a customer wrote — testimonials publish exactly as submitted. You accept or reject each one before it goes live, but the words themselves are never altered.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. One click in billing. Access continues to the end of your billing period. No “call to cancel” nonsense.
Refund policy?
14-day money-back guarantee. Email support@crowdnod.com for a refund — no interrogation.
Ship social proof faster than your competitors
Free, forever. ~14 KB widget. Two lines of code.
