Stamped vs Yotpo
Stamped is the lighter, cheaper mid-market reviews-and-loyalty platform. Yotpo is the heavier enterprise suite that bundles reviews, loyalty and subscriptions.
Verdict
Choose Stamped if you want mid-market reviews and loyalty without enterprise cost; it starts at $23 a month and stays light. Choose Yotpo if you are a larger brand that wants reviews, loyalty and subscriptions in one suite, and you can absorb enterprise pricing as you scale. Yotpo has the only free plan of the two, up to 50 orders a month, so very small stores should start there.
- Stamped: Mid-market stores wanting reviews and loyalty without enterprise cost.
- Yotpo: Larger brands wanting reviews, loyalty and subscriptions in one suite.
Which is right for you?
Which is cheaper to start with?
Yotpo, if you are tiny: it has a free plan up to 50 orders a month, which Stamped no longer offers since it removed its free plan and trial in 2025. Once you are paying, Stamped is the lighter, cheaper option at $23 a month on the App Store, while Yotpo lists at $15 a month there but climbs steeply at enterprise scale.
Which is better for a larger brand?
Yotpo. It is an enterprise suite that bundles reviews with loyalty and subscriptions in one platform, which suits a larger brand consolidating tools. Stamped covers reviews and loyalty too, but as a lighter mid-market product rather than a full enterprise stack.
Which is better for photo and video reviews?
Yotpo includes photo and video reviews across its plans. Stamped supports photo reviews, but gates video behind its $199 tier, so if user-generated video matters to you, factor that price step in before committing.
Which gets my reviews cited by AI answer engines?
Neither is built for that. Both render reviews through JavaScript widgets, so the review text is harder for a crawler or an AI model to quote; Yotpo is data-rich but heavy to render, and Stamped is comparable. Getting customer reviews cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews is the specific gap BeyondReviews is built to close.

BeyondReviews
Both have moved toward retention with reviews as one product among several. We went the other way and kept only the reviews, and only the part after they land.
BeyondReviews · Strengths
- Reviews and replies in the served HTML, not injected by JavaScript afterwards. The crawlers that read pages for AI answers do not run JavaScript, and you can check any store with View Source
- Every review answered in a voice learned from your own writing, carrying real phrases from your own Search Console data, rather than a suggestion box you still have to staff
- Product schema and aggregateRating on every product page, so your stars are eligible in the result itself
- Every price on the page: free plan, $29 to $249 by volume, Enterprise from $750. No demo required to find out what it costs
BeyondReviews · Trade-offs
- No loyalty, subscriptions or retail syndication. Reviews and replies only, on purpose
- Newer than either, and no loyalty or subscriptions to bundle
