Yotpo: Product Reviews App

We moved to Yotpo from Loox and it was a big mistake. We were mislead on how advanced is the app. We had all customization options available on Loox on the plan of 40 per month and on Yopto we can customize very few things paying 170... Yotpo charges you for everything (extra review requests sent too) and on the top we spent days trying to migrate to the app and it was a bug on a bug on a bug.
After using it for 2 months I noticed that we do not get any reviews with photos or videos and we used to get several per week on Loox. When I asked the support how I can improve the landing page for the review request in order to get more reviews with photos/videos they told me that I should move to a more expensive plan... On Loox it was available on basic plan.
If it's your first review app probably you'll find it fine but when you've already tried couple and have experience, you'll see that Yotpo charges you for nothing. It's not worthy of the pricing they offer.

Every support person told different story, only the main goal is change the plan to premium for pay more, I just change loox to yotpo, for import reviews yotpo support team asking proof for reviews is this joke?

Walmart syndication is inactive suddenly now i have to paid $1000 for active the small feature. Is this joke?

The bad experience ever.

I ended my subscription with Yotpo over a month ago within the free trial period and they're still trying to charge my credit card for a service I don't use. I've reached out to customer support several times regarding this issue and they offered no concrete solution. There is no option to end my Free plan subscription with them, there is no option to remove my credit card from their dashboard. I'm incredibly frustrated by the lack of transparency and support by the Yotpo team. If I could leave you a star rating in the minus, I would.

Scam company.
Once you cancel your subscription, they’ll tell you your annual fee is non-refundable—even if you’ve only used it for a month or two. They won’t prorate or refund the unused portion.

What’s worse, they never inform you of these unreasonable policies upfront. No warnings, no notices, nothing.

After you’ve paid, you’ll realize that Yotpo significantly slows down your website, especially hurting CLS performance. When you decide you no longer want to use it, they’ll just say, “Your subscription is canceled, but you won’t receive any refund.”

Shopify Plus support will simply tell you, “It’s a third-party app, there’s nothing we can do.”

Total scammy behavior.

I can't recommend this company. The product works fine, but they are not friendly to small businesses and have an overall "take it or leave it" attitude and pricing policy. We've used this app for YEARS. Macy's recently asked us to syndicate reviews so that all our positive reviews on our website would also show on Macy's. Yotpo not only refused to provide the data to them without "upgrading" our current plan, but the new plan they insisted on was a price increase of over 300%. Even worse, they required a full annual contract to do it.

That price alone would have eaten up the vast majority of any profit we might have hoped to increase at Macy's. So yeah, I found Yotpo's inflexibility to be no different from extortion, and very anti-competitive for a small firm like us. Thumbs down.

Horrible company! For the past 2 months they have overcharged us. We have the $15 plan. They have billed us $119 for the past two months.

We contacted them last month and they stated they would escalate it through their billing department. They refunded $49.80. If they billed $119 and our plan is $15, they should have refunded $104. They claim the remaining funds went to "some app credits."

This month, they billed us $119 again!! We are now talking to their support again and getting the same "We will escalate this through our billing department" again.

I see others who say this is an excellent app and that was one of the reasons we opted to use this one over others. The app works fine; however, their billing system absolutely ruins the value the app provides.

We will be filing a complaint with our bank against this company. I encourage everyone thinking about using this app to BEWARE!

We had a terrible experience. The whole platform was buggy for us and it took forever to get things done. The final straw was that emails for reviews post purchase just stopped going out with no explanation. We switched to a new provider and got 3 reviews in the first hour (while not getting any in 30 days on yotpo.)

Very terrible experience. I wanted the reviews to be with the title of the product. If not they were at the very bottom of the product description and no one would see them. In order to do this I was given the option to allow the app to install or manually install the widget. I picked let the app install it, as soon as I did that my site malfunctioned. You could not open a product at all, you would get redirected to a "you may also like" page. There is no option to go back and undo it either.

Their AI bot was wrong about how to fix it. I contacted support but have yet to hear back on the issue.

In order to fix my site I had to reach out to Shopify support and they were able to disable the app and get my store functioning properly.

I'm very disappointed as the app appeared to be great.

Total waste of time. Also misleading advertising on pricing and what is available. Does not work at all. Zero support. Just bots that suck.

This app is full of bugs - Upgrading your plan from Free to a paid tier doesn't actually work (the charge is applied, but service levels are NOT increased). Additionally, the Onboarding flow within the app is broken (persistently asks you to install the widget, when doing so, it adds the widget to your theme multiple times). Go with another option! Worse yet, the support is horrible.
