Referrizer Referral Marketing Automation vs. Yotpo

If you have offers and specials that you would like to run regularly or loyalty programs then this is an excellent tool for that. It works really well for repeat clients and for brick-and-mortar locations. It also works well if you need to communicate via text on a regular basis.

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.

• The smart line helps capture client information.
• The texting option is very helpful in interacting with clients.
• The newsletter options is easy to use and helps us communicate efficiently.

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

• There could be some improvement with how quickly the text messages are sent.
• There could also be some improvement with the way clients are segmented.

Incentivized

• 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.

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.

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.

Referizzer had more features like texting and Referizzer's newsletter tool is easier to use and didn't have the bugs that Constant Contact has. Constant Contact did not offer the loyalty option or coupon offers that link to the website. I also like the review options where we can ask for and filter company reviews.

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.

Incentivized

• I had more return clients since using Referizzer, which is significant.
• Referrizer is a bit expensive so you have to make sure you are using it regularly to make it worth the cost.

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.
