    After an exhaustive search, I was excited to choose Growave for my biz rewards & loyalty program, the Smile High Club™. The app is very customizeable so has checked off every requirement as far as our branding style guide goes. The greatest thing about Growave is its people. They are so kind, patient & know their stuff!! They always have an answer for me

    TrustPilot cannot be trusted. They have consistently removed reviews since I started with them. At first I thought it was a one or two off situation. We recently launched an "ask for reviews" initiative and got several positive reviews and TrustPilot removed all of them, without recourse. This hurts us really badly and initiates drawn-out emails with our customers. TrustPilot is wrong about legitimate reviews and has no clean way to resolve that. They hurt our customer relationships more than helped.

    Pros
    Growave (formerly SocialShopWave)
    • Support - They respond to emails quickly and professionally.
    • Coding - They are Shopify experts and will also try to find a solution to a request.
    • They are also cost effective meaning we are able to progress with development of our site without the high cost some other agencies charge.

    • Completing the review for the customer is a simple process which enables us to receive more feedback.
    • The Trustpilot account management team is a true partner working with each department to help with adoption across the company.
    • The Trustpilot development team is a trusted partner with our own internal development team, assisting them with implementation as well as integration with their API.

    Cons
    Growave (formerly SocialShopWave)
    • Not really anything there that would necessarily be needed, or that troubled the usage of the app. Of course, there were some "problems" or how I would better describe it "things that needed to be changed" when we first started with the app, but the back office is very easy to use and understand and if there was something, that couldn't be solved there, the customer service was very easy to respond, handle and solve the situation. So that's not really a drawback, because I guess it's a normal thing.
    • The only thing that could be adapted, is that the emails are not multilingual. So it is not possible to translate them even with another translation app. So that's sort of bad for a multilingual shop, but is only a minor drawback.

    • Removing inaccurate/faulty reviews. It's hard to talk to people about removing some inaccurate reviews.
    • Product reviews should be visible on search engines too.
    • Review requests email templates are not the best.

    Usability
    Growave (formerly SocialShopWave)
    We're currently a small newly launched eCommerce business so our needs are pretty basic. This app is free and does what we need it to and Growave's customer support and their dev team are super patient, helpful and attentive.

    They are super attentive and will work with you to make sure that Growave is properly integrated on your site. I had a few conversations with them. They always had prompt replies and they helped to create some custom solutions so that their modules matched the style of our website. It was overall a really great experience working with them.

    I've rarely had issues and needed support. During the implementation phase we relied on their support heavily and they were very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. Any questions I've had have been answered promptly by my account manager. They also have a great knowledgebase for self-service support.

    Yotpo seems to have more ways to integrate your reviews with other features on your site, but Growave is a simple solution for people who aren't actively focusing their attention on reviews. Yotpo also seems to have better filters for negative keywords and swear words (important for children's toy company). However, Yotpo carries a much higher price tag.

    Selected Trustpilot because of superior integration with the website and Google SERPS. Again, my only complaint would be Trustpilot was relatively more expensive than the other technologies.

    • We've seen an increase in CTR and CVR while lowering our CPAs using our reviews in our display and social media ads.
    • Integrating the star rating with our Google Ads was automatic and we saw a lift in CTR when the stars were added.
    • We saw an uptick in traffic in from our Trustpilot review page to our website.
