## Reviews

### "Wish there was another option" — 3.0/5

> **Val** | *June 10, 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Works for email list growth campaigns. Appreciate the customization and workarounds because the app/widget out of the box is bad.
> 
> **Cons**: Slow, sporadic support (30 mins to 5 days for basic questions). Lots of workarounds required to integrate with Shopify well, the world's largest e-com platform provider. Expensive for what it is. If a competitor offered email referrals, they'd be toast.
> 
> Challenging to get set up, incomplete knowledge base, slow response times from support, brittle workarounds required for some basic functions.

### "Viral referrals" — 4.0/5

> **Paul** | *September 24, 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The UI is pretty self explanatory and the API is fairly easy to understand
> 
> **Cons**: I found the documentation of the API lacking in detail.
> 
> Fairly good so far, we have yet to get everything working but we've decided to go with a paid plan.

### "Simple and Effective Referral Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Rushi** | *May 12, 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to set up and use. The referral system helped us grow our newsletter quickly with little effort.
> 
> **Cons**: There’s a slight learning curve if you’re new to referral marketing, and some deeper customizations require light coding or support assistance. However, their help center and support team are responsive and helpful.
> 
> Great experience overall. It worked as promised and helped us reach more people.

### "Thanos' customer support is a "snap"" — 4.0/5

> **Arlo** | *May 21, 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the SDK integration and flexibility for customization
