Yotpo

Every online shopper does the same thing before buying something unfamiliar — scrolls straight to the reviews. Yotpo built its whole business around that instinct, starting with review collection and display, then expanding into loyalty and referral programs that turn happy customers into repeat ones. The AI layer surfaces recurring themes across reviews automatically, so you're not manually reading through hundreds of comments to spot a recurring complaint about sizing or shipping. The newer addition worth mentioning is Discover, which tracks how your products show up in ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI search tools, then helps optimize the on-site signals those engines rely on — a genuinely timely feature given how much shopping discovery is shifting toward AI assistants. Instead of being one narrow tool, Yotpo tries to cover reviews, loyalty, and now AI visibility under one login. One honest note: the platform gets noticeably more expensive as you add loyalty and SMS modules on top of reviews, so costs can creep up fast. Works well for growing DTC brands that want reviews and retention in the same place.
