Reviews for Yotpo Product Reviews & UGC

I have never left a single review on any of our shopify apps, but with Yotpo, I'm really inclined to do so because of their practices. I would NOT recommend this app to any business owners who truly values their TIME and MONEY! I think this company is very out of touch with small businesses and their lack of transparency is a serious concern. This is the only app we have ever countered that almost forces you to get on a sales call before you can even see their prices. Its not just about their outrageous price, its also about principle. Why would anyone want to do business with a company that does not see the value in transparency in 2016. They are more focused on marketing and selling you their product as opposed to actually focusing on the service. Luckily, through another reviewer with similar experience we were able to find Judge.me - this app literally has pretty much the same features as yotpo and you can customize everything. As a small business owner I highly recommend other Shopify store owners to DO YOUR RESEARCH before committing to any app. After comparing yotpo with judge.me I figured for what we would be paying at yotpo, I could simply hire a full-time freelancer. The time that is spent going in circles with them is simply not worth it for us. I am guilty of being one of those people who ignored all their bad reviews and signed up with them anyways thinking at least maybe we will get what we pay for. Higher price in this case does not = to higher quality, better service etc, it just means higher price, more stress, time wasted... Hopefully yotpo can consider listening to their customers and implementing some changes that reflects more attention and care for small businesses. In the meantime, we are going to be moving to another app that seems to be doing just that.

Way expensive if you want to see real SEO or google results. The "publish to website button" its difficult to use. The plans beyond basic absolutely ridiculously priced!!!

Good, solid app. Easy to use and work. Also great metrics and info to utilize.

Just left them for Shopify's own Product Review product. Yotpo is fine if everything is working, but their support is shocking with a 7 day gap between each email on a support item. After 3mths of use, not a single review other than the 5 that were manually added on day 1, absolutely nothing from support even though I tried. I have given up. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Easy to setup and does not distract from the products!

That used to be a very well application, with good and attractive FREE plans, but ALSO reasonable priced PAID plans, with normal prices and competitive plans. Unfortunately they have changed 180 degrees, and gone to non pricing disclosure, a FREE plan that provides literally nothing, and paid plan raised from 30$ to 399$.. In which business plan do you swift pricing from 30$ to 399$? I am really sorry for you guys taking down that road. Thanks for the good times you gave us the last years. Admin www.giannopoulos.gr

I like it. Better than other review widget. Five stars

Once you install the app, it pulls your orders and emails are sent out. This is a problem as Yotpo does not check for marketing options. This information would have been good to know before I installed the app to see how it would look on my site, and then uninstalled it when I realized its appearance would need to be adjusted to match my website design. In less than fifteen minutes, the damage was done and my entire customer database was sent emails by Yotpo. Customers are *still* receiving emails and I've emailed Yotpo telling them to immediately stop sending. No response. My request to cancel my account was received with a canned 'please let us know your feedback' reply. I would not recommend using this service until Yotpo: * check that only customers who are okay with marketing receive the email * ask the Shopify owner if it is okay to send emails to past customers, or at least revisit its workflow and make improvements

Terrible service! We used the app for our old site but since redesigning we have had issues implementing. After numerous emails asking for assistance we have received nothing back from them. We still receive the promotional emails though... Stick with Shopify Product Reviews - Effortless!

Changed new theme, having problem to re-install the code of Yotpo, took 5 days to receive a reply from them with installation instruction, but I still having trouble placing the code to the right place so I message them again and since then never get a response from them. For free user they don't really care & unwilling to help.

Mixed reviews about YOTPO, But be careful and read this before you install it in your system. When I started out with Yotpo I was very happy with the free app. Since I have been with them for 3 years. Over the last 3 years the free version is getting smaller and smaller. I have nearly 100 reviews on the system, so I wanted to keep with them on the site. Recently I spoke to the sales guys about using the services and upgrading, but this is the catch, if you're a customer that has been using this system for a while you I am not paying $5000 per year for the service. It now looks like we will lose our feedback which we have built up because of the pricing of yotpo. Not sure how they can justify this price, personally I think they live on another planet.

There is nothing quite like the thrill of getting your first 5 star review, and Yotpo automates the review collecting process so that it's easy to get them. There were a few minor set up issues, but their account management team is great to work with, is very knowledgeable and is quick to help make sure you are on track. I love the automation that allows you to automatically have reviews post to social media. Overall a great investment so far.

So tired of Yotpo. Support is almost non-existent. Wait a week for Yotpo to respond to any support request, then get a reply that is completely irrelevant. Yet if I want to upgrade to one of their ridiculously expensive plans, I'll be contacted within an hour.

Can we rate this more than 5 stars?

The free version is great. Very easy to setup and he reviews are coming in! Will definitely consider upgrading in the future.

very $$$$$ (5k year!!!).... no customer service..... other apps are coming up now. they do contracts... crazy world of yotpo! they are there for the money nothing else.

This is a great app very useful to our shops! https://fancy-garden.myshopify.com

We use Yotpo, and pay the (very, very expensive rate) for their Powerhouse Plus plan. Here's the most important thing you need to know: they don't actually support inline SEO with Shopify. It's one of the biggest features of the Powerhouse Plus plan offers on their website, and there's no mention of it not working with Shopify. It wouldn't even be that hard to implement - they'd just need to tap in via the Shopify API and put the review data in a metafield, then have some code to render it in the product.liquid template, then have that block replaced when their javascript code renders the full review functionality. Their customer service people are well-intentioned, but the corporate/billing department is difficult and apparently don't particularly care about making customers happy. For example, they refused to move our billing back by a week even though they enabled our Powerhouse Plus account on the wrong email address initially. Their dashboard and website also looks like it was designed in the early 2000s. For a product that costs so much, it's kind of disappointing. Apparently there is a redesign in the works. The sales guy who we worked with was overly pushy and didn't seem interested in answering my technical questions very thoroughly. But here's the upside: at the moment they're the only service that offers Product Listing Ads and Seller Ratings, as well as a Q&A feature. So I gave them two stars for that. Until someone else brings out a competitive product, they have a de facto monopoly on the space, so I can't really complain too much. I'll update this review if any of this changes.

This is a great app very useful to our shops!

Like that customers can review, but the jump in price to having the ability to post comments on social media is way too much

Yotpo - for me the best social review plugin. Why? Because it is the easiest one for the clients to rate - just one click and done. So I improved my conversion rates of getting reviews - and these improved my conversion rates of selling my hypnosis cds. I love it.

What should be included in a basic plan isn't... I emailed in because there was an issue and was told that the plan I was on ($30) a month was going away and it was going to $399 a month!!! Who in their right mind would pay $399 a month for things you can get with other review apps for under $40 a month ????? They take FOREVER to respond to support requests. I'm really still unsure why their reviews are so high..... OH and they hide prices on their site now so you have to give them your info to find out it's ridiculously expensive.. No thank you.

I used the app with Magento and liked it. Trying to use it with Shopify, but can't get any customer support. Submit a ticket, wait up to a week only for them to respond with the same answer (click this article for help) over and over. I don't think they have anyone doing real tech support, just someone checking e-mail from time to time to copy and past "standard responses." Support was good when I used with Magento but now seems to not exist...very disappointing.

YotPo is the total package when it comes to Shopify Apps. The functionality of the app is very easy for customers to use and to manage on the back end. Every time I have needed a tweak to the app, the support team is very quick to take action. Reviews are such an important part of a customer's decision making process. The review service from YotPo is by far the best review app on Shopify.
