Stamped

Stamped stands out in the crowded e-commerce engagement space by combining three tools that most brands buy separately: product reviews, loyalty programs, and referral marketing. After testing it with a Shopify store, the integrated approach genuinely delivers on its promise. Review collection rates were noticeably higher than with standalone review apps, the loyalty program drove measurable repeat purchase increases, and having everything in one dashboard eliminated the data silos that plague multi-tool setups.

The review collection engine is where Stamped truly shines. The automated email and SMS request sequences are well-optimized, with smart timing that catches customers at the right post-purchase moment. Photo and video review collection works smoothly, and the display widgets look polished enough to blend naturally into any storefront. The UGC galleries are a particularly effective conversion tool, showing authentic customer content right where buying decisions happen.

The loyalty program is solid but not as deep as dedicated platforms like Smile.io or LoyaltyLion. Points earning and redemption work well, VIP tiers add meaningful gamification, and the referral tracking is reliable. However, the analytics around loyalty program performance are somewhat basic. You get the essential metrics, but brands running sophisticated retention strategies may want more granular cohort analysis and predictive insights.

Pricing is where Stamped gets interesting. The free plan handles basic review collection for very early-stage stores. The Basic plan at $23/month covers unlimited reviews with display widgets. But the real value kicks in at the Growth tier ($59/month), which bundles reviews, loyalty, and referrals together. Buying these capabilities separately from three vendors would easily cost $150-200/month, making Stamped's combined offering genuinely cost-effective.

The main drawback is that the full feature set requires the highest-tier plan, and SMS review requests carry additional costs. The platform also requires some technical knowledge for advanced widget customization.

The bottom line: for DTC and e-commerce brands wanting to build a complete customer engagement stack without managing multiple tools, Stamped delivers excellent value. It is particularly strong for Shopify stores in the growth phase where review collection, repeat purchase incentives, and referral programs directly impact revenue.
