I've followed Yotpo for some time. What always held me back was the cost and year-long commitment. Ultimately, we selected Yotpo because of the syndication, which would allow us to use reviews on two different sites.

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.

We haven't worked with other loyalty or review platforms, however, we've worked with other SMS providers in the past. I feel that Yotpo's SMS Bump is much more robust and has better integrations than the other platforms. It's also much easier to manage than the other platforms.

I have used in the past: Olapic, BazaarVoice, and Pixlee. The simple fact that the team at Yotpo has found a single view tool for ratings, reviews, and user photos has made a huge difference for my (very small) team. This allows for a one-stop-shop approach that we can view and edit in one interface. We are able to combine UGC and review photos into one easy stream and display these easier on the site. Tools in the past have not been able to do this unless there was complex code involved.

We like Yotpo because they offer all of the same features and suite of tools, and they do it at a fraction of the price. We see no benefits in paying a whole lot more money for no added benefit. Yotpo handles our customer reviews perfectly for our needs and gives us everything that we need to manage, respond, and gather reviews for our products and website.

Yotpo is the only customer reviews app/software that I've used.

The internal review features I've used sometimes don't allow a public direct response. We experienced glitches with Shopify's on a regular basis. Americommerce's internal review/correspondence management offered no reports, no "star rating" ability, and "went down" frequently.

We used Disqus for a while, and it was pretty low-tech.

It has better review management

Yotpo is the best but also the most expensive.

A bit deeper understanding of patients and their needs in this platform, yet we are really focusing our Enterprise on the basics now ...reviews, loyalty, etc.

Yotpo offers more features such as sharing to social media. It's a one stop place to work on reviews and just reviews - it's not as distracting as working on a site that's about a lot of things. I am focused on the reviews when I log in to Yotpo and I feel I get more done. I still need to explore the site more - I know there are more ways that Yotpo can help my business.

Within our business are those who like Yotpo more than okendo, others the other way round. For myself, Yotpo has much better value for money and is easier to configure, but I do prefer the okendo customer journey.

We found these platforms to be fairly comparable. We ultimately chose Yotpo due to the flexibility around review moderation, and because of the possibility of adding on (and getting a price break for) Swell, for customer loyalty. We didn't decide to move forward with Swell at this time, but like that the two services will be connected if and when we do make that decision. Yotpo acquired Swell a short while ago.

Yotpo beats [the alternatives] in almost every mark. It is easy to install if you have Magento 1.9x. cost is still acceptable. For an industry like us (drone and fpv), our consumers are very vocal, this is a great fit as we provided another way for consumers to communicate with us.

Yotpo is a good tool at a great price. Their service has been helpful rather than delightful and it serves our purpose for the time being. Review syndication, additional automation and better-developed reporting and statistical output would be large growth areas for them. Many of their competitors provide similar solutions, but with a significantly higher price tag.

We experimented briefly with the Shopify Reviews app, but saw almost no response as the emails had to be sent manually or otherwise automated. Yotpo made it super easy and our response rate is very good now. You can do the math for your business, but if it helps drive X additional sales and costs you Y for the software...
