We make Mage, and we compare it with the loyalty apps Shopify brands actually switch between. Every fact comes from the vendor's own pages, every page is dated, and we say where others are better than us.

Tell us how your program runs today and what you want from it. We'll give you a straight answer on whether Mage is the right fit.
We make Mage, so we hold ourselves to a simple rule: every fact about every app, ours included, comes from that vendor's own pricing page, help center or Shopify App Store listing, and we show the date we checked it. Where a competitor does something better than we do, we say so.
It depends on who you are. Smaller stores starting out usually do well on Smile.io's free plan. Brands that sell on more than one platform, or want reviews and loyalty from one big vendor, tend to look at Yotpo. Mage is built for Shopify brands doing $1M+ a year that want the program designed around their store, with points or store credit, custom loyalty pages and a team that plans it with them.
Less hard than most people expect. Points balances, VIP tiers and referral history can all move across. At Mage we have automated importers for Yotpo, LoyaltyLion and Smile.io, we do the whole migration for you on Growth and up, and most brands go live in 1 to 2 weeks. The main thing to plan is timing: switch near your renewal date so you're not paying for two programs.
No. Balances, tiers and birthdays come across with the migration, so customers carry on with what they've earned. We'd still recommend an email letting them know the program has moved, which is also a good excuse to remind them what they've got.
