Alpine IQ
I think Alpine IQ is an excellent platform, especially for the challenging cannabis industry. In my experience, they take the guesswork out of preparing compliant campaigns and give us access to our data in a way that makes it actionable and easy to digest.

I think Rybbon is a very good choice for a UX or Market research team. It's generally easy to use, easy to send gifts to almost any country, and their customer support is great. The only real weakness is in the reporting and dashboard. You'll have to do pretty much all of it in Excel. So unless that's very important to you, I can't really think of a better option than Rybbon.

Cons
Alpine IQ
  • I wish there was an option to add a-la-carte features to their plans, because the difference in cost between starter plans and the next step up is too much for us to afford.
  • More features available to the starter packages would be nice.

  • The main dashboard is not very useful for tracking your activity and spending
  • Website didn't seem super reliable. Would see downtime occasionally.
  • You can export reports to Excel but better built in reporting would be nice

Both are good products, I honestly have no complaints with either of them. Rybbon's integration with Qualtrics is a definite plus.

Return on Investment
Alpine IQ
  • So far we have seen higher open and conversion rates than previous messaging platforms.
  • The way it integrates with our POS makes it much easier on our team to use and to encourage customers to sign up for the loyalty program.

  • Using the paid plan where you pre-pay fees up front definitely saved us money in the long run
  • It's a lot quicker and more manageable than using PayPal or Amazon gift cards
  • Their support team has probably also saved us time by helping recipients who have trouble redeeming cards instead of us having to do it
