Opaque Pricing From Yotpo

pricing plans yotpo

Clarity is not Yotpo's strong suit as their full pricing structure isn’t easily found or accessible.

So when customers go to their website, they will need to request a demo and reach out to customer support.

They will give you an estimate depending on the size of your business (your traffic, domains, products, and monthly order volumes), this means that the pricing can vary dramatically between businesses.

We talked to many previous users of Yotpo, and they said that Yotpo's prices are incredibly high.

On average, Yotpo's pricing begins at around $400 per month; this could be the reason why they decided to hide the pricing structure!

Unique Reminder Emails


Best Email Marketing Apps for Shopify

Fera knows how to approach your customers when it comes to reminder emails.

They send emails that are beautifully designed and don't spam your customers by constantly sending them the same one.

This way, your customers will feel valued that you're asking them to leave a review on your site, and most of the time, this will end up being a positive review!

Yotpo sends review reminder emails constantly, and according to some they don’t always look trustworthy.

Some merchants we spoke to said that excessing follow up emails caused unsubscribing, spam complaints, and harmed their brand's reputation by annoying customers.

Get Essential Features Without Paying

Yotpo has a free plan that you can use, but the free version of Yotpo can have limited to no options for you and your business.

Merchants mentioned that Yotpo constantly sends notices and suggestions to use the paid version, which, according to some, can get a bit annoying.

Fera doesn't try as hard to convince their customers into merchants switching or paying for something that they don't want or need.

With Fera, you can access both basic and essential features absolutely for free.

This means that you can see all the features that are included in the other paid plans and make the decision to switch from a free plan to a paid plan.

Incentivize Customers & Make Them Repeat Buyers

Convert Buyers

With Fera, you will be able to bring reviews to life with things like ratings in the collection page and customer experiences with user-generated photos and videos.

Fera also offers different types of incentives you can offer your customers, such as:

  • Cash Back
  • Loyalty Points (via integrations)
  • Discounts

On the other hand, Yotpo doesn't have a ton of custom incentive options and only offers one type of incentive to their clients, and that is discounts.

With offering limited options, Yotpo falls behind Fera when it comes to review incentive options.
