7 Growave alternatives for loyalty, reviews and wishlists (2026)

At a glance

What is the best Growave alternative?

It depends on which Growave jobs you still use: points, reviews or the wishlist. Each app here takes over one or more, with Growave's row at the bottom.

Or start from the job you need done.

Growave's plans

How much does Growave cost in 2026?

Growave is a Shopify app that runs loyalty points, referrals, VIP tiers, reviews and wishlists in one install. Plans run from free to $999 a month and count your monthly orders. Entry, Growth and Plus charge for every 100 past the number included.

At 1,000 orders a month, Entry costs $115. Paid plans start with a 14-day free trial. Growave's listing carries the Built for Shopify badge.

The monthly bill

How much does it cost to replace Growave?

A good month takes you past 500 orders, and every 100 after that adds $20 to Growave's Entry plan. Prices are as of November 2026.

Sledge's Pro price stays at $29.99 whatever your order count. Its ceiling is a Monthly Revenue Boost of $8,000, the sales Sledge counts as added in a month. Past it, Growth Intelligence pauses new suggestions until the month resets, and your reviews and wishlist keep running.

1 · Smile.io

Smile.io: what if you only run points?

You run the points program, and the bill also pays for reviews and a wishlist you never switched on. Smile.io runs points and referrals on their own, free up to 200 orders a month.

Essential, at $15, takes you to 500 orders with a loyalty page, free product rewards and one integration. Standard covers 1,000 orders for $79 with two integrations. Growth costs $199 for 2,500 orders, then $20 per 100 more, and brings VIP tiers, points expiry and unlimited integrations. Each paid plan has a 14-day free trial. Smile.io runs loyalty only, with no reviews or wishlist.

To carry balances over, Smile.io loads a file with two columns, each customer's email and points, through "Adjust points totals" on its Customers page. The import can't be undone, so check the file first.

Best for: points and referrals on their own, starting free.

2 · Sledge

Sledge: can reviews and a wishlist share a plan with your search and filters?

You kept Growave for reviews and the wishlist, and the points program sits idle. Sledge is a Shopify search and filter app that also runs product reviews and a wishlist on every paid plan.

Shoppers leave one to five stars, up to 1,000 characters of text and up to five photos of 10 MB each. Reviews of four and five stars go live on their own by default. Switch off "Enable auto publish", the setting that posts them without you, to read every review first.

From the review list you publish or unpublish any review and reply to it. The Verified badge is one you give by hand, since Sledge doesn't check the purchase. Under "Snippets", the reviews tool's page for stars on products, you can show them in search, collection and product sections. A Happy Customer page gathers store reviews beside product reviews.

On the wishlist, guests save without an account, and their saves move into their account list when they log in. "Require login" turns guest saves off, and "Variant level" keeps the size and color they picked. The save button can show on collection pages, product pages, the search page and instant search. A shopper can share the whole list by link.

Sledge has no points, referrals or VIP tiers. It sends no review request emails and has no review import, so your Growave reviews stay behind. Each shopper keeps one wishlist, and Sledge sends no wishlist emails. It adds no Google review stars.

To keep those reviews, move them to Judge.me first. Then switch on "Judge.me Product Reviews" under Integration, the page in Sledge's Settings & Support that connects other apps. Judge.me's stars then show on Sledge's product cards in search and collections. You can switch on one review app at a time.

Reviews and the wishlist come with every paid plan, beside search, filters, bundles and the cart drawer: Pro $29.99, Scale $89.99, Accelerate $199 and Ultimate $399 a month, on Sledge pricing. Start the 14-day free trial to set up both.

Best for: reviews and a wishlist on the plan that runs your search and filters.

3 · Froonze

Froonze: can one app keep all three jobs, VIP tiers included?

You want a gold tier for your best customers, and the Growave plan that has it costs $199. Froonze lists VIP tiers on its $10 loyalty plan for up to 500 orders, in the same app as a wishlist and reviews.

That $10 plan, Advanced, also lists a referral program, points expiration, Shopify POS and integrations. Loyalty is free under 100 orders a month. Premium costs $30 to 1,000 orders and Unlimited $60, each after a 14-day free trial.

Froonze bills each tool on its own, with no bundle price. Loyalty, reviews and the wishlist cost $30 together at 500 orders and $65 at 1,000. Reviews start at $5 for 100 orders and have no free plan. The wishlist can email shoppers about low stock, restocks and price drops.

To see its wishlist beside seven others, read the Swym Wishlist Plus alternatives.

Best for: Growave's three jobs in one app, paid per tool.

4 · Judge.me

Judge.me: what if reviews are the part you'd miss?

You'd rather not pay for reviews at all. Judge.me's free plan collects unlimited product and store reviews, photos and videos included, and imports your old ones from a spreadsheet.

Free also covers its review widgets and syncs reviews with Google, Shop, Etsy and Amazon. Awesome, at $15 a month after a 15-day trial, adds automatic reminders, Q&A, AI replies and summaries, coupons and referrals, and more than 130 integrations, Klaviyo among them.

The import takes Growave's review file on the free plan, once you match its columns to Judge.me's fields. Photos import from their links, up to five per review, and imported reviews aren't marked verified. A review needs written text to import, so star-only reviews stay behind, and so do videos.

Judge.me has no points or wishlist. For more review apps, read the review apps compared, or Sledge vs Judge.me for the two side by side.

Best for: reviews on their own, at no cost.

5 · Rivo

Rivo: is there a written guide for moving Growave points?

Your members earned their points on Growave, and those balances have to come with you. Rivo publishes a help guide called "Migrating from Growave" for that move.

In the guide, Growave emails you its rewards report, and you load that file on "CSV Imports", Rivo's page for bringing in a file. The guide confirms that points balances move, and says nothing about VIP tiers, referrals or earning history.

Rivo is free to 200 orders a month, with points and automated email campaigns. Essential, at $15 for 500 orders, adds a loyalty and referral page and two integrations. Scale lists VIP tiers, points expiry and the referral program, at $49 for 400 orders, then $20 per 100 more, capped at $499.

At 1,000 orders, Scale comes to $169. Rivo's App Store plans name no reviews or wishlist. Its own site sells shareable wishlists in a separate product, Accounts, from $499 a month.

Best for: moving Growave points by a written guide.

6 · LoyaltyLion

LoyaltyLion: when do you want a team to build your program?

Your program is getting big, and you want a team to build it with you. LoyaltyLion's Classic plan, $199 a month, comes with a loyalty page design and Klaviyo loyalty flows built for you.

The free plan covers 400 monthly orders. Classic includes 500 orders, unlimited integrations, onboarding and POS locations, after a 14-day free trial. Past 500 orders, its Advanced and Plus plans are by quote.

There's no plan between free and $199. Ask which plan carries VIP tiers before you sign. LoyaltyLion's plans name no reviews or wishlist.

Best for: growing programs that want setup help.

7 · Okendo

Okendo: what if you want one company for reviews, loyalty and referrals?

Splitting Growave's jobs across apps leaves you more than one company to deal with, and you'd rather have one. Okendo's listing describes five connected apps: reviews, loyalty, surveys, quizzes and referrals.

Reviews are free to 50 orders a month, $19 to 200 on Essential, $119 to 1,500 on Growth and $299 to 3,500 on Power. Loyalty and referrals are priced as separate products.

Okendo's pricing page says platform and bundle plans normally need a yearly term. Its listing names no wishlist. For Okendo's loyalty prices, read the Okendo alternatives.

Best for: one company for reviews, loyalty and referrals.

Before you uninstall

How do you take your reviews, points and wishlists out of Growave?

Export first, uninstall second. Reviews show only while the app that holds them is installed. Growave's free plan lists data exports, and its help articles name no plan limit.

The reviews file keeps each rating, the text, your reply, photo links and whether it was published. In the wishlist file, each shopper's email, or "Guest", sits beside the product, size or color and list name, with no date. The rewards file holds each balance, points earned, spent and expired, VIP tier and referral count, with no join dates.

Judge.me's free import takes the reviews, under Settings, then "Import reviews", leaving star-only reviews and videos behind. Points balances go to Smile.io by file, or to Rivo's import page. Sledge takes no review file.

To keep your reviews and show their stars on Sledge's product cards, import them into Judge.me, then switch Judge.me on in Sledge's Integration page.

Where to start

Which products need reviews first?

Start with the products that sell and show no stars. Say 30 of your 40 products have no review, and reviews on them bring 10 more orders a month at $45 each. Your own math says $450 a month.

Growth Intelligence turns on when you pick a paid plan. Once your store has 50 orders in the period it reads, it flags your store when fewer than 3 in 10 products have a published review in Sledge, as in that example. It also flags a wishlist with 20 or more saves in 7 days where fewer than 1 in 10 saved products reach a cart.

Its fixes add up to one estimated dollar total in your admin, labeled "Est. potential". Install Sledge free for 14 days, then pick a paid plan to see yours.
