Not suitable for small business owners

2.0 3 years ago

Pros:

It's easy to use and doesn't need much hands-on.

Cons:

Most of its feature are locked between different tiers, a weird business model for a modern SaaS platform. The main reason for writing this review is that they lure you as a user, to select higher tiers to be able to use these functions and/or features. For example, the plan I picked include coupons functionality. Its use include to send out coupons to customers in order to get them to review products and give them a rebate if they do so. Something I thought was great. However, the one feature I wanted to use with coupons was locked behind a different plan (tier). Something which was not indicated on their comparison. I signed up, only to realize this. I asked for a refund and Yotpo decided that I was not eligible for a refund due to that this information was listed on a whole different page? How is that a valid reason? Include such information in the comparison list. There's nothing that indicates that the feature listed can be behind a different paywall. Another bad feature is the localization. For example; they capitalize every word even in languages that doesn't do that so the UX looks really weird in a language which is not English.

You get what you pay for

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: No complaints!

Pros:

It's probably the most full featured solution available. I had a client that used Yotpo on BigCommmerce and loved it, but wasn't thrilled about the price. He tried several other programs such as Stamped.io and nothing really compared to Yotpo. In the end, he went back to Yotpo because it's worth the price tag.

Cons:

It can be quite pricey for larger retailers.

Pros:

The best feature about Yotpo is it's seamless features that are simply easy to use. They are perfect for beginning users as well as advanced features. Automation features are key with any business owners, but especially with small business owners where the main person wears many hats.

Cons:

Pros:

I love how easy it is for our company to use yotpo. It's not something that I need to think about daily because the system runs so smooth.

Cons:

It is a little pricey to be able to share reviews across platforms. We had to upgrade our package three fold to get this feature.

Yotpo Provided Brand Credibility

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Yotpo gave credibility to our brand. We were using a generic review solution previously. While we did have some reviews, we weren't collecting new reviews very quickly and the overall format of them didn't provide any sort of confidence to potential customers that they were legitimate reviews. Yotpo immediately improved our review collection rate and gave new potential customers that these were reviews from real golfers who had been using our product.

Pros:

The best thing about Yotpo is it works really well no matter how much time and attention I give it every day. It works best when I'm responding to reviews and using the social boost features to take advantage of all the great reviews that we're receiving. However, if I'm overwhelmed with other work, then I don't HAVE to log in and check things. Yotpo just works.

Cons:

It's not inexpensive, but it's definitely worth the money. I had to "go to bat" in order for our company to adopt this solution, but it didn't take long for everyone to see the value. And now there's no question that Yotpo provides a big boost to our brand, user experience, SEO, and advertising.

Great Platform Overall

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall, the platform has been pretty great. Our biggest gripe would be in the pricing. As a small business it is incredibly hard to have all of the important things (like a review platform) we need to be successful and also drive the kind of revenue we need to be sustainable. Every service costs money and it adds up quick. Most services are not small business focused as they get a lot more money from enterprise packages, which is unfortunate us little guys. Yotpo does offer growth packages, but they ramp up in price really quickly.

Pros:

Reviews are incredibly important and Yotpo is a great platform to deliver them. They offer quite a few features in the lower priced tiers and are relatively easy to use. Yotpo is a recognized name by many consumers as a trusted reviews platform, which is a great benefit. Support has always been quick and helpful. They are a Google reviews partner, which is important to us.

Cons:

The interface could be easier to navigate. The price is pretty high, but going cheaper means you may not get a platform that people know and trust.

Good Software, Poor Communication and Help

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Yotpo offers a solid product for Loyalty Programs and Referral Programs, but if you don't have a dedicated team to figure out implementation, this can be a real arduous process to set up. Also, the customer support/reps are not knowledgeable.

Pros:

The software is a great product. It functions well and we haven't had many issues with it. Implementation was difficult because their backend support to help walk us through the process seemed like he was overwhelmed with work. He knew the product really well and was helpful, but you could tell he was really stretched thin. It took us almost 3 times longer to get setup than anticipated, which was unfortunate.

Cons:

Getting help from our customer reps has been a really negative experience. It feels like they don't want to help and/or are unable to help. Every question we have ends with a, "I'll look into that..." and then we never hear anything back.

Dishonesty can do damage to your business

1.0 5 years ago

Comments: If you want customers to trust you, I would recommend you stay away from using Yotpo.

Pros:

Yotpo does not offer any major benefits. You can invite more people to view your account, but that’s a standard feature.

Cons:

The biggest downfall of this software is that you can choose to not publish negative reviews. While that may be seen as a benefit for businesses, it removes all credibility and will damage your reputation.

Yotpo Response

5 years ago

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback and understand that Yotpo wasn't the right fit for you. As far as benefits, we offer reviews, rewards & referrals, visual galleries, and additional benefits to support businesses as they grow. Re review moderation, of course, we do offer this to our customers! We encourage our customers to publish all reviews but offer moderation should there be inappropriate language, illegibility, and so on. Yotpo was founded to help customers better understand what they're purchasing before they purchase it - through our reviews, brands have been able to learn & adjust based on customer feedback, and end customers have been able to provide that feedback and learn about whether or not a brand or product will be right for them. We encourage all customers (potential or current) to peruse our case studies, reviews, and resources to understand if Yotpo is the right fit for them too. Thank you again for your feedback.

Delivers reviews, easy to use!

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: It makes my client's money every day and increases engagement. It makes me look good every time I recommend it and Yotpo is a great company to deal with.

Pros:

Yotpo is easy to install if you're using a major eCommerce cart provider like Magento, Shopify, etc. There are some other copy cats out there that promise the world but they have all fallen short or simply miss things. I'm using the incentive coupons to get more reviews with some clients and it's awesome. The review moderation is easy to use, makes sense and we use it every day. As an eCommerce consultant I recommend Yotpo to all my clients and see the results first hand.

Cons:

Yotpo can be a powerful tool in the right hands. It has a ton of features and you can get lost during setup on which are the most important.

Great tool for growing and managing reviews

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Our overall experience using Yotpo has been great. It has helped us to engage our customers, collect nearly 500 reviews, and showcase them to help drive future purchases.

Pros:

The Yotpo platform is easy to use, and makes collecting and managing reviews pretty seamless. I also love how our Yotpo account manager makes improvement suggestions, and offers to implement them on our behalf. The support team at Yotpo is also very helpful, especially for a SMB like ours that doesn't always have a developer available to make a change. They are quick to reply and incredibly helpful in implementing changes.

Cons:

I wish it were easier to customize aesthetic without requiring developer or support assistance.

User-Generated Content Made Simple with Yotpo!

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: The Yotpo integration with Shopify greatly improved conversion on my company's product pages. Not only did our reviews show the popularity of our products, but many customers wrote detailed stories of how they connected deeply to their product. This added another dimension to the product page! Through Yotpo, we were also able to search through all of the reviews and add our favorites to landing pages, post-sale emails and social media posts. This user-generated content built trust with our customers and enabled us to show off how relational our company was! The platform is easy to use and the appearance can be modified to fit seamlessly with your website theme. Automated and customizable emails make it easy to gather reviews for your website, and you can choose which ones are displayed on your website. Simple - and worth every dollar!

Pros:

Simplicity in integration with Shopify. Customizable design on the website. Improves conversions on the product page. Great to publish reviews directly to Twitter & Facebook or turn into paid ad content.

Cons:

The search function within the back end is faulty sometimes.

YOTPO for a small Clothing retailer

Comments: YOTPO really helps build customer trust for my store and thus aids conversion rate. The carousel in particular is very visual and easy for users to quickly view, with comments and pics

Pros:

Very visual and easy to implement with my Shopify store. You can customise to match branding when you pay a higher monthly fee. Review emails are easy to set up. Review carousel is very visual and looks good on website.

Cons:

Certain features add to the monthly cost. Javascript can slow down website, so i have experimented as to where to display certain features on the page.

Yotpo - An amazing review platform that you really should check out

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

We have been using these guys since they started.. so got real lucky on the pricing. It has really helped our customers have trust in our company due to seeing 'real' customer reviews of our services and products.

Cons:

Only con to be honest.. is they have added features but as we had there original top package at a silly cheap price we are not allowed the new feature unless we change to the new plans. It's a fair point as the price far outweighs the features.

Great integration with Shopify

5.0 4 years ago

Pros:

We recently switched over our ecommerce to Shopify and with it added Yotpo to our integrations to collect reviews. I love the automation and the ease of set-up for basic review collection (and that we were able to send an initial manual-request to previous customers) as well as the straight-forward dashboard for review moderation.

Cons:

It is rather frustrating how many of the features are blocked behind certain tiers and payment levels -- have sometimes run into something I thought we'd be able to use (like integration with Klaviyo or Q&A) that are not available to us unless we spring for a higher payment level -- and given our order volume right now it isn't an upgrade that makes sense at this time. I also wish more customer service was available at the lower tiers - the chat box has only been moderately helpful when I've utilized it for troubleshooting.
