Antavo AI Loyalty Cloud vs. Yotpo

If you are looking for a platform to host and run your loyalty program through, Antavo is the best out there. The mechanics and customer journey options available with front end support is unmatched. The options for digital wallet for wallet messaging has allowed for a new channel for customer relationships

If you need an excellent mechanism to collect and publish customer reviews, Yotpo is the best that we have found. We love the feature set that is provided, even if you are using the basic membership to get started. Where it is really good is the collection and managing of reviews. The email request setup is simple and easy to use. The publishing and commenting on reviews can be managed easily in the backend. It syncs up nicely to our website providers, and we have used it on a few different platforms without any problems. The pricing on it is also very competitive when you price it out against so of the other big-name players in the space.

• Antavo is a platform easy to use, accessible even for those with limited technical expertise or little experience.
• Antavo offers seamless integration with other systems.
• Antavo has the possibility to create and manage different types of rewards and challenges to engage users.
• Antavo has the possibility to work across two separate environments - test and production - providing a safe space for experimentation and development without impacting the live system.

Incentivized

• Yotpo alerts us by email when a new review comes in which encourages us to log in and check the Yopto dashboard to see if anything needs tending to.
• With one click we can publish a Yotpo review to our website, than another click and it pushes the review to Twitter, and Facebook.
• Even the free version has lots of useful features.

Incentivized

• The onboarding process could have been a bit better with some delays and some integrations taking longer than expected
• Not enough engagement after the initial launch of the loyalty program for a few months (it got better in the end).

• The customer photos are too small. We'd like to be able to display the photos that customers upload as much larger. They're almost thumbnails.
• Yotpo widgets slow down site speed so we can't use any of them. The only one we can use is the reviews page.

Our organization is very lean and agile and does not have the resources to staff either a Marketing or Customer Service Team member on reviews full time. We know and understand the value of such an individual but are unable to staff a position at this point. This reduces the value of the tool in our eyes.

Some areas, such as workflow configuration, can be difficult to load. We would love to see more B2B-specific enhancements

I think the platform back end could be easier and more intuitive, but we are able to get around and accomplish what we need to with minimal training or guidance. Specifically, we had complications with trying to do something as simple as sending ourselves test emails and adjusting image sizes pulling from our product catalog so that the review request email images would be clear.

Customer support is not well organised and you can make many efforts to get the resolution. For email or phone support you have to have the patience to deal with the support team, also if you submit a query the responding time is usually high.

Live chat is always ready to help. Even when they do not have an immediate answer, we hear back from them within a reasonable time frame. Communication from the account manager is great as well. The team has been very supportive in listening to new ideas, needs, and updates based on real-time on-site data.

The integration between Antavo and Bloomreach is out of the box.

I have only used one other service prior to Yotpo (I don't remember what it was) and Yotpo outperforms them. Yotpo is really intuitive and easy to navigate/install from a Shopify user perspective. When Pixel union releases their customer review service I may try it out since they are my theme provider and it may integrate more seamlessly.

• Loyalty members’ AOV in 2023 was more than twice than AOV of not loyalty members
• Antavo has positively impacted our overall business objectives by enhancing customer retention over years.
• Antavo made possible increasing engagement through loyalty challenges and rewards.

Incentivized

• We got complaints about not having enough pictures of projects. Yotpo completely negated that complaint with the UGC implementation on our website.
• If my memory serves me right, 98% of our customers directly interact with some Yotpo widget on our site. That's a lot.
