Why should you choose Mage?
The best Shopify loyalty platform for modern merchants.
Launch in 5 Minutes, Not 5 Weeks

Support That Actually Helps
When you need help with Mage, you talk to the founders and the team who built it. No being passed to developers who take days to respond. We're on Slack, available evenings and weekends.

Reasons to choose Mage
Growave Alternative: Why loyalty-first brands are choosing focused over feature-bloated.
Speed Matters. Launch in Minutes, Not Weeks.
Growave has a lot of moving pieces: loyalty, referrals, reviews, and UGC all under one roof. That sounds great in theory, but in practice it means complex onboarding that drags on for days or weeks. If you don't have a dedicated developer or marketer managing the rollout, you're in for a frustrating experience. Mage is focused purely on loyalty, which means you can go live in 5 minutes - not wait around wondering when your program will finally launch.
A Jack of All Trades Is a Master of None
Growave does 5 different things. But do you really need 5 different modules from one platform? When a software tries to do everything, it rarely excels at anything. With Growave, loyalty often feels like just one of many features rather than the core product. Mage is 100% focused on loyalty - our entire engineering team, product roadmap, and feature development is dedicated to making your loyalty program exceptional.
Support That Doesn't Give You the Runaround
Growave advertises 24/7 support, but many merchants report a frustrating experience: being passed to developers who take days to respond, getting generic one-liner answers, and feeling ignored once they're fully onboarded. With Mage, you talk directly to the founders and the team who built the product. Need help? We're a Slack message away. That's not a sales pitch - it's genuinely how we operate.
Pay for Features, Not Tiers
Growave starts at $49/month, but the reality is most brands need $199/month for VIP tiers and dedicated loyalty pages, or $499/month for customization. Mage Startup ($49/month) includes VIP tiers, custom loyalty pages, and full customization - at a transparent price with no surprises.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Unlike Growave's multi-product approach, Mage is focused purely on loyalty: points, VIP tiers, referrals, and seamless integrations. All included on Growth ($325/month).

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Growave to Mage.
How is Mage different from Growave?
The biggest differences are focus and speed. Growave is a multi-product platform (loyalty, reviews, UGC, wishlists) which makes it complex and slow to set up. Mage is 100% focused on loyalty, so you can launch in 5 minutes and get deeper features from a specialized platform.
How fast can I actually launch with Mage?
5 minutes - seriously. Because Mage is focused purely on loyalty (not 5 different products), setup is streamlined and simple. No developer required, no weeks-long onboarding process.
Do I need to pay extra for VIP tiers and customization?
Unlike Growave which locks VIP tiers behind $199/month and customization behind $499/month, Mage Startup ($49/month) includes all premium features. What you see is what you get.
Is the support really different?
Yes. When you message Mage, you talk to the founders and the team who built the product - not support agents who pass you to developers that take days to respond. We're on Slack, available evenings and weekends.
Can you migrate my data from Growave?
Yes. We'll import your customer points, VIP tier statuses, and program settings. Our team handles the technical work - most migrations complete within 24-48 hours with zero downtime.
What if I'm using Growave for reviews too?
No problem. Many brands use Mage for loyalty alongside other review platforms like JudgeMe. You don't need to bundle everything together - use the best tool for each job.
