Discover the best Yotpo alternatives to replace their discontinued email and SMS functionality. Here are the 7 best alternatives for eCommerce brands.
If you’re using Yotpo for Email and SMS, it’s time for a plan B.
In August 2025, Yotpo announced that it's winding down its Email and SMS products by December 2025, choosing to refocus its efforts on its original core: Reviews and Loyalty.
“We will be sunsetting our native Email and SMS products in December 2025, to provide a clearer and more focused value proposition to our customers.” – Tomer Tagrin, CEO & Co-founder @ Yotpo
For brands that built their retention strategy around Yotpo’s all-in-one suite, this means migrating key channels and fast. But with the right setup, this pivot could actually unlock better performance, smarter automation, and more ROI than before.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best alternatives that cover all three critical pieces:
Whether you want a single platform or a tightly integrated stack, here are the best Yotpo alternatives for 2025.
Yotpo’s decision to sunset its retention tools means you’ll need to migrate before Q4 2025. But even if you weren’t directly using Yotpo Email or SMS, this shift prompts a broader question:
Is Yotpo still the best fit for my brand’s customer experience stack?
Here’s why many brands are already looking elsewhere:
Use this checklist to prioritise features that matter most to your business:
💌 “The all-in-one growth engine for eCommerce.”
Best for: Brands wanting a single home for retention marketing.
Why switch:
Klaviyo has long been the go-to platform for email and SMS automation in eCommerce. In 2024, they launched Klaviyo Reviews, adding review collection and UGC to their retention toolkit.
With Yotpo exiting email/SMS, Klaviyo becomes a natural upgrade path:
If you're already a Klaviyo user, it’s a no-brainer. If not, the learning curve is worth the leap.
Pros:
✅ Email + SMS + Reviews all under one roof
✅ Smart flows, predictive analytics & segmentation
✅ Shopify Plus certified
Cons:
❌ Reviews feature is still maturing
❌ Complex UI for first-time users
Notable integrations: Shopify, ReCharge, Gorgias
Yotpo Migration Tip: Export reviews via CSV and import to Klaviyo Reviews; flows and lists can be rebuilt with stronger targeting logic.
📱 “Your new home for SMS and Email marketing.”
Best for: SMS and email-heavy brands looking for white-glove migration support.
Why switch:
Attentive has partnered with Yotpo to become its official migration destination for SMS and Email users. Their team will help you recreate Yotpo flows, import customer lists, and get compliant quickly, without downtime.
Beyond migration, Attentive is a leader in conversational SMS, AI-powered personalisation, and mobile-first automation. Combine it with a best-in-class review tool (like Okendo or Loox), and you’ve got a full replacement stack.
Pros:
✅ White-glove Yotpo migration service
✅ Advanced SMS flows and A/B testing
✅ Built for scale, with top-notch compliance
Cons:

🔄 “The flexible, all-in-one automation tool for lean teams.”
Best for: Brands looking for a cost-effective replacement that covers email, SMS, and basic review integrations.
Why switch:
Omnisend gives you an omnichannel platform for Email, SMS and Push notifications in one place, and it’s built specifically for eCommerce. While it doesn’t offer native reviews, it integrates smoothly with Loox, Stamped, Okendo and others.
That makes it a smart Yotpo replacement if you're budget-conscious but still need powerful automation and campaign capabilities.
Pros:
✅ Affordable all-in-one with flexible pricing
✅ Strong automation builder
✅ Integrates with top review tools
Cons:
❌ No built-in reviews (requires pairing)

⭐ “Turn customer feedback into a retention machine.”
Best for: Brands that want powerful reviews and loyalty, connected to best-in-class messaging tools.
Why switch:
Okendo is a top-tier reviews and UGC platform offering photo/video reviews, Q&A, customer profiles and Loyalty tools. It doesn’t offer its own email/SMS functionality, but it integrates directly with Klaviyo and Attentive to trigger campaigns based on review events, satisfaction scores, and more.
This combo offers more flexibility and precision than Yotpo’s bundled tools, with better data ownership and segmentation.
Pros:
✅ Best-in-class review UI and Shopify-native
✅ Built-in loyalty & surveys
✅ Tight integrations with email/SMS leaders
Cons:
❌ Requires pairing with messaging platform
❌ Slightly more complex to set up
Notable integrations: Klaviyo, Attentive, Gorgias, Shopify Plus
Yotpo Migration Tip: Okendo offers white-glove review migration and loyalty onboarding. Pair with Klaviyo for end-to-end flows.
💬 “UGC and loyalty with messaging support via Omnisend.”
Best for: Smaller Shopify brands looking for value across reviews, loyalty and comms.
Why switch:
Stamped offers reviews, UGC, and loyalty in one platform. While it doesn’t include email or SMS natively, it integrates seamlessly with tools like Omnisend or Klaviyo, allowing you to trigger automated flows from reviews or loyalty milestones.
Think of it as a modular version of Yotpo, less bloated, more budget-friendly, and still powerful when paired properly.
Pros:
✅ Great price-to-feature ratio
✅ Clean, intuitive review UI
✅ Loyalty features included
Cons:
❌ Requires external Email/SMS platform
❌ Lacks AI-enhanced flows
Notable integrations: Shopify, Omnisend, Klaviyo
Yotpo Migration Tip: Export reviews into Stamped; use review events to trigger automated messaging in Omnisend/Klaviyo.
📸 “Picture-perfect reviews, paired with your favourite comms tools.”
Best for: Brands that want stunning UGC to boost conversion, with flexible messaging options.
Why switch:
Loox is one of the most popular review platforms for Shopify brands. Known for its beautiful photo and video reviews, high-performing widgets, and seamless post-purchase flows. While it doesn’t offer native Email or SMS, it integrates directly with both Klaviyo and Omnisend, meaning you can trigger review requests, thank-you messages, or UGC collection prompts via your email/SMS tool of choice.
Pairing Loox with Klaviyo or Attentive gives you a fully featured alternative to Yotpo, with better flexibility and a lower price tag.
Pros:
✅ Powerful visual UGC widgets
✅ Affordable, Shopify-native
✅ Works seamlessly with Klaviyo or Attentive
Cons:
❌ No built-in Email or SMS (integration required)
❌ Less robust analytics than larger review platforms
Notable integrations: Shopify, Klaviyo, Omnisend, Gorgias
Yotpo Migration Tip: Loox provides a direct import tool for Yotpo reviews, including images and verified buyer tags. Messaging flows can be rebuilt using Klaviyo or Attentive triggers.
🏢 “The enterprise-grade syndication network for reviews.”
Best for: Omnichannel brands, manufacturers, and enterprise retailers.
Why switch:
Bazaarvoice is a heavyweight, built for enterprise use and brands that don’t just sell on their own sites. The main value proposition? Syndication. Reviews posted on your site can also appear on major retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and Ulta via their global network.
If your retail strategy includes marketplaces or wholesale, this reach is invaluable for SEO, buyer trust, and conversion across channels. It’s also built for scale, ideal if you’re processing thousands of reviews a month.
Pros:
✅ Syndicates reviews to retail and marketplace partners
✅ Deep moderation and fraud detection tools
✅ High trust and authority with enterprise buyers
Cons:
❌ Expensive and requires a sales conversation
❌ Overkill for SMB or Shopify-only brands
Notable integrations: Salesforce, SAP, Magento, Shopify Plus
Yotpo is better suited for SMBs and Shopify-native brands. Bazaarvoice wins if your reviews need to go beyond your DTC store.
