“We never launched with Smile.io. They said I would need to upload backdated orders manually for the loyalty program. When you get roughly 1 million orders a year, that’s a lot of work for one person. With Okendo, it was all done for us.”
— Gabby Noakes, Ecommerce Manager

“When we launched Okendo Loyalty, we saw an immediate spike in engagement from our customers enrolled in the loyalty program. We’ve had a positive experience using all of Okendo’s five products together. The tech just works.”

Fewer apps equals more efficient workflows and happier teams

All your tools, all in one place
Okendo’s complete platform offers Loyalty, Referrals, Reviews, Quizzes, and Surveys in one app (unlike Smile, which only offers Loyalty and Referrals).
Our customers say they love managing all their tools in the same place because it saves them time and money. That’s the bottom line.

More control for better loyalty programs
Former Smile users and independent review sites say it’s a pain to pay more for flexible settings and control.
Okendo gives you unlimited access to all features, in every plan, so you can define, build, and manage the loyalty program your customers want without the added costs.

Customer support that actually supports you
As heard from former Smile users: when they have a question or need support it’s nearly impossible to get help.
Whether your question is big or small, Okendo offers 24/7 support so you can maintain consistent experiences that keep customers happy.
