Why are Shopify brands leaving Yotpo?
All-in-one sounds great until you realize it means average-at-everything. Here's why merchants are choosing specialized.
Specialized > All-in-One
Yotpo has 5 products and can't excel at all. Mage is 100% focused on loyalty - one thing done exceptionally well.
Real Human Support
Talk directly to the founders who built Mage. No outsourced live chat, no ticket queues, no scripts.
Better Pricing
Enterprise-grade features without enterprise pricing. Mage starts at $49/month, not $79.
No Lock-in Contracts
Month-to-month billing, cancel anytime. No aggressive annual contracts or hidden cancellation fees.

Why should you choose Mage?
The best Shopify loyalty platform for modern merchants.
Laser-Focused Engineering
While Yotpo spreads engineering across email, SMS, reviews, subscriptions, and loyalty - Mage's entire team is dedicated to one thing: making your loyalty program amazing.
Support That Actually Helps
No chat bots or outsourced support. No reading from scripts. When you message Mage, you're talking to the people who built the product - available on Slack, email, and chat.
Built Exclusively for Shopify
Yotpo supports BigCommerce, Magento, and more. Mage is built 100% for Shopify, which means deeper integrations and faster feature releases.
Weekly Product Updates
We ship new features every single week. Yotpo acquired their loyalty product in 2018 and it's seen limited innovation since.
Bootstrapped & Customer-First
Yotpo has $436M in VC funding. Mage has $0. That means we make pricing and product decisions for you, not investors.
No Platform Lock-in
Your data is yours. Export anytime. We integrate with best-in-class apps instead of forcing you into a bloated all-in-one suite.
Reasons to choose Mage
Yotpo Alternative: Why specialized loyalty beats all-in-one suites for serious Shopify brands.
Support That Feels Like Having a Team Member
With Yotpo, you'll likely talk to a support agent reading from a script. With Mage, you talk to the founders and the team who actually built the product. Need something custom? Want to discuss strategy? We're available weekdays, evenings and weekends. This isn't a sales pitch - it's how we actually operate.
Why Specialized Beats All-in-One
It's nearly impossible to be world-class at 5 different products. Yotpo offers email, SMS, subscriptions, reviews, AND loyalty - that's a lot of surface area. Mage does one thing: loyalty. Our entire engineering team, product roadmap, and support resources are focused on making your loyalty program the best it can be. When you choose specialized, you get depth over breadth.
Escape the Annual Contract Trap
Yotpo is known for aggressive annual contracts that are hard to exit. Mage is month-to-month, always. If we're not delivering value, you can leave. This keeps us accountable and ensures we're always earning your business.
Full Migration Support
Worried about switching? We'll import all your customer points, VIP tier statuses, and program settings from Yotpo. Most migrations are completed within 24-48 hours with zero downtime for your customers.
Everything you need for loyalty, nothing you don't

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Yotpo to Mage.
How is Mage different from Yotpo Loyalty?
The biggest difference is focus. Yotpo has 5 different products competing for engineering resources. Mage is 100% dedicated to loyalty. This means faster feature development, deeper Shopify integration, and a support team that actually knows the product inside out.
Can you really import everything from Yotpo?
Yes. We'll migrate your customer points, VIP tier statuses, and program settings. Our team handles the technical work - you just need to provide your Yotpo export, and we'll take care of the rest.
What if I'm locked in an annual contract with Yotpo?
Install Mage for free and set up your program while your Yotpo contract runs out. When you're ready, we'll handle the migration at no extra cost. Many merchants run both briefly during the transition.
Is the support really that different?
It's night and day. Yotpo is a 500+ person company - when you reach support, you're getting someone in a live chat reading from a script. With Mage, you talk to the people who built the product. We're on Slack, available evenings and weekends, and we genuinely care about your success.
Why is Mage so much cheaper?
We're bootstrapped with zero VC funding. Yotpo has raised $436M and needs to show returns to investors. We don't have that pressure, so we can price fairly and focus on building a great product instead of aggressive sales tactics.
Will I lose any features switching from Yotpo?
For loyalty-specific features, Mage has everything Yotpo offers and more. The only thing you'll 'lose' is access to their other products (email, SMS, reviews) - but you probably have better specialized tools for those already. Additionally if you feel there is any feature missing that you need, feel free to reach out to us directly and we'll be happy to add it.
