A short YouTube commentary by Julie Broad comparing BookSprout to BookSirens and explaining BookSprout’s pricing and top-tier features. Key points: BookSprout charges month-to-month (you pay even if there are no downloads) with $9 and $29 plans and a 30-day money-back guarantee; top-tier benefits include removing BookSprout branding, creating unlimited (ongoing) review campaigns, and restricting campaigns to manually vetted “top” reviewers (but you cannot accept/reject individual reviewers as with BookSirens).

Questions this video answers

$9 and $29 plans are mentioned.

Month-to-month subscription (you pay whether someone downloads your book or not).

30-day money-back guarantee.

Default review disclaimer that lets you remove BookSprout branding.

Ability to create endless (unrestricted) review campaigns; you must keep paying while a campaign runs.

Well, Booksprout is month to month in their plans. They are quite similar to Book Sirens, but the month to month means you are paying whether someone downloads your book or not. But you can cancel if you don't get results. And they do have a 30 day money back guarantee, so if you're really not happy, you can get your $9 or $29 back. So a few things that are included in their top tier choice is that they have default review disclaimer, which means that you can remove their Book Sprout branding. Not a big deal for most of us. You can also create endless review campaigns to try to get as many reviews as possible for your book unrestricted by a time limit. But obviously if it's unrestricted, you have to keep paying them as long as you're running that campaign. And then they also have the option to restrict review campaigns to their manually vetted top reviewers, which isn't quite the same as Book Sirens where you can accept or reject. But these are the Book Sprout's best reviewers, so they're less likely to just go off and post a really bad review of your book.
