Yotpo is the better fit for brands that want free plans to start, support for more than one ecommerce platform and a vendor that can grow with them to enterprise volume, while Okendo suits premium Shopify brands that care most about how reviews look on site and want several customer marketing tools from one vendor. Both sell reviews and loyalty as separate products that work together, and both price by monthly orders. The differences come down to platform reach, entry costs and how far each goes beyond reviews and points.
We rate Yotpo 4.7 out of 5 and Okendo 4.6, first and second on our ranked list of the best reviews and loyalty apps for ecommerce. Here is how they compare on the things store owners weigh most.
Product range
Yotpo focuses on two products: Reviews and UGC, and Loyalty and Referrals. Each can be bought alone, and they share data when you run both, so you can reward points for reviews and show loyalty status across the experience.
Okendo is wider. It sells Reviews, Loyalty, Referrals, Quizzes and Surveys, plus a Platform plan that includes all five with onboarding, success management and 24/7 tech support. Quizzes help shoppers find the right product, and Surveys collect zero-party data after checkout or after a review. If you were planning to buy a quiz or survey tool anyway, Okendo can replace it.
Winner: Okendo for breadth. Yotpo is the simpler choice if you only want reviews and loyalty.
Pricing and total cost
Yotpo is cheaper to start. Reviews is free up to 50 orders a month, and the Starter plan costs $15 a month up to 99 orders, with prices rising by order volume. Loyalty also has a free plan. The catch is the step to Loyalty Pro at $199 a month, which includes the first 500 orders and charges per order above that. Premium and Enterprise tiers are quoted, so large brands will not see a price until they talk to sales.
Okendo’s Reviews starts at $19 a month and Loyalty at $99. It prices by monthly order tiers (0 to 200, 201 to 1,500, 1,501 to 3,500, 3,501 to 10,000 and above), and going over a limit means upgrading or buying a one-time top-up of order credits. Its bundle discounts are the main cost lever: three products together cost 30% less than buying them separately, and the full platform costs 40% less.
For a small store running reviews only, Yotpo wins on price. For a brand buying reviews, loyalty and referrals together, Okendo’s bundle discount can narrow or reverse that gap. Get quotes for your real monthly orders and your peak month from both before deciding.
Winner: Yotpo for small stores and reviews-only setups. Okendo can win for multi-product buyers.
Reviews and on-site display
Both collect photo and video reviews and send automated review requests. Okendo’s strength is presentation: its review widgets are polished and customizable, which matters to design-conscious brands that spend heavily on their storefront. It also offers review capture forms and post-review surveys, so you can ask follow-up questions such as fit or skin type.
Yotpo’s reviews product is built to scale and includes review syndication, so reviews can travel beyond a single product page. Both vendors support getting ratings into Google: Okendo lists Google Shopping and Google Seller Ratings among its integrations, and Yotpo includes syndication as a core feature.
Winner: Okendo for look and feel on a Shopify storefront.
Loyalty and referrals
Yotpo Loyalty covers points, VIP tiers and referral programs, and its free plan lets you launch a basic program without a monthly bill. Okendo Loyalty includes points, rewards, VIP tiers and a custom loyalty page, and Referrals is sold as a separate product with email flows and fraud protection.
The practical difference is cost at entry. Yotpo lets a small store run loyalty for free and move up later. Okendo’s loyalty starts at $99 a month, which is easier to justify for brands that already have repeat customers and a clear reason to reward them.
Winner: Yotpo for starting a program cheaply. Okendo is competitive once you bundle it with reviews.
Platforms and integrations
This is the clearest split. Okendo is built for Shopify and holds Shopify Plus Certified status, with headless support offered as an add-on. If you are not on Shopify, Okendo is not really an option.
Yotpo Reviews supports Shopify and Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce (Magento), WooCommerce, Volusion and Salesforce Commerce Cloud, plus a generic integration for custom platforms. Yotpo Loyalty has dedicated setups for Shopify and BigCommerce and supports Adobe Commerce and Salesforce Commerce Cloud through its generic integration, so check feature coverage for your platform.
Within the Shopify world, Okendo publishes a long integration list: Klaviyo, Attentive, Postscript, Omnisend, Dotdigital, Iterable and Bloomreach for messaging, Gorgias and Zendesk for support, Recharge, Skio, Stay and Smartrr for subscriptions, and Shopify Flow and POS.
Winner: Yotpo for anyone off Shopify or running several platforms. On Shopify alone, the two are close.
Ease of setup and daily use
Both install from the Shopify App Store and send review requests automatically once connected. The day-to-day work differs. Yotpo’s free plans make it easy to install, collect a few weeks of reviews and see results before paying anything, which suits small teams learning as they go. The tradeoff is that its interface covers two separate products, and you will need to plan the move to paid tiers as orders grow.
Okendo asks for a little more design attention up front, because its widgets are meant to be customized to match your theme. Brands with an in-house designer or a Shopify agency tend to get the most from that flexibility. If your team is one person running everything, the extra options can feel like more work than they are worth.
Winner: Yotpo for a fast, free start. Okendo rewards teams that will customize.
Growing into high volume
Yotpo is built to scale to enterprise brands, with quoted Premium and Enterprise tiers and support for platforms such as Salesforce Commerce Cloud that larger retailers use. Okendo offers Platform Scale for high-volume Shopify brands, a custom-priced plan with no usage caps and a fixed annual price for unlimited orders. That fixed price is useful for brands with big seasonal peaks, since order spikes will not trigger overages.
Winner: tie. Yotpo for enterprise brands across platforms, Okendo for large Shopify brands that want a fixed annual cost.
Contracts and support
Okendo’s individual products can be billed monthly or annually, and Quizzes, Referrals and Surveys can be cancelled at any time. The Platform plan and bundles normally require annual terms, and the Platform includes onboarding, success management and 24/7 tech support. Yotpo’s free and entry plans are easy to start, while its Premium and Enterprise tiers are sold through quotes, so support levels and terms there depend on your agreement.
Winner: Okendo for clear published terms. Yotpo is easier to start with no commitment.
The bottom line
Choose Yotpo if you want free plans, run on a platform other than Shopify, or expect to grow into enterprise volume with one vendor. Choose Okendo if you are a Shopify brand that values polished widgets and plans to add loyalty, referrals, quizzes or surveys, where its bundle pricing pays off.

Frequently asked questions
Is Okendo cheaper than Yotpo?
Usually not for a small store. Yotpo Reviews is free up to 50 orders a month and $15 up to 99, while Okendo Reviews starts at $19 and lists no free plan. Okendo can come out ahead when you buy several products, because three together cost 30% less and the full platform costs 40% less than separate pricing.
Can you use Okendo if your store is not on Shopify?
Not in a practical sense. Okendo is built for Shopify and is Shopify Plus Certified, with headless support as an add-on. If you run BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce or Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Yotpo is the stronger fit, since its Reviews product supports all of those platforms plus a generic integration for custom stores.
Can you move your reviews from Yotpo to Okendo?
You can export reviews from Yotpo and import them into a new provider, but plan it carefully. Ask Okendo how it handles review dates, photos, videos and verified buyer badges, and test the import on a duplicate theme first. If you also run Yotpo Loyalty, confirm that customers’ points balances and tiers come across intact.
Which is better for a store launching its first loyalty program?
Yotpo, for most stores. Its free loyalty plan lets you launch points and referrals without a monthly bill and learn what your customers respond to. Okendo Loyalty starts at $99 a month, which makes more sense once you already have steady repeat customers or are buying it as part of a discounted bundle with reviews.
