I have not used any other before because this one was great from the get go.
Chose Growave
I selected Growave based on reviews and research from the web. I have not been disappointed with my choice.
Chose Growave
Yotpo seems to have more ways to integrate your reviews with other features on your site, but Growave is a simple solution for people who aren't actively focusing their attention on reviews. Yotpo also seems to have better filters for negative keywords and swear words …

After an exhaustive search, I was excited to choose Growave for my biz rewards & loyalty program, the Smile High Club™. The app is very customizeable so has checked off every requirement as far as our branding style guide goes. The greatest thing about Growave is its people. They are so kind, patient & know their stuff!! They always have an answer for me

It's a great platform that can easily schedule posts, and create evergreen posting by creating queues with different categories of posts. SmarterQueue allows you to create a range of content categories (tips, updates, quotes, images, videos, promotions, stories, case studies, etc) and choose where to post the various categories of content so you don't blast all your channels with the same content (have content specific channels). The interface is very clean, easy to use, and simple to navigate through, and has an AI assistant to help you create content and content variations. What I like the most creating an evergreen queue to which I can simply keep adding new content to and the posting is taken of.

Cons
  • Consider making some of the Enterprise only features available to Growth. Specifically, ability to offer products in exchange for points! I would like to give my best customer the opportunity to earn really cool corporate swag. For example, Collect 100 S'Miles (points) in exchange to WhiteBrights leather book bag. Also, Klaviyo integration. That should not be an Enterprise level feature?

We're currently a small newly launched eCommerce business so our needs are pretty basic. This app is free and does what we need it to and Growave's customer support and their dev team are super patient, helpful and attentive.

Yotpo seems to have more ways to integrate your reviews with other features on your site, but Growave is a simple solution for people who aren't actively focusing their attention on reviews. Yotpo also seems to have better filters for negative keywords and swear words (important for children's toy company). However, Yotpo carries a much higher price tag.

SmarterQueue is more comprehensive, has more features for cheaper subscriptions, and more flexible price plans to suit your business needs, whether you want to scale down or scale up. The user-friendly interface enabled a very quick learning curve for myself and for my virtual assistant. Better UI design and layout, clean, simple, intuitive to use and navigate through, and does the job well.
