Reasons to choose Growave over Joy.so

Broader, more flexible integrations

Joy integrates with tools like Reviews.io, Klaviyo, Gorgias, and Recharge. But integrations don’t always translate into real usability.

Growave focuses on integrations that actually work for Shopify merchants deep, reliable, and built for real workflows. You get the same core integrations, plus more options like Attentive, TikTok, Postscript, and others to support your full stack.

More than loyalty, an entire retention system

Joy is built around flexible loyalty.

Growave goes beyond that. You get loyalty, referrals, reviews, wishlists, and social proof features in one platform working together out of the box. No extra apps. No fragmented data. No stacked costs.

Built for customization, not configuration limits

Joy gives you flexibility within predefined structures.

Growave gives you real control. Customize how features interact, design flows around your customer journey, and adapt your retention strategy without workarounds or rigid logic.

Modern developer toolkit

Growave is built with developers in mind. Clean APIs, fast performance, and no legacy constraints.

Use REST API, JS SDK, webhooks, Shopify Flow, metafields, and Hydrogen support to create fully custom experiences backed by clear, complete documentation.

Stronger on-site experience

Joy focuses on program mechanics.

Growave improves the full customer experience on-site. Showcase reviews where they matter, add wishlists to drive return visits, and create more conversion points across the journey.

Better checkout and account extensions

Both platforms support Shopify checkout and account extensions.

Growave goes further bringing reviews and social proof into checkout, and enabling customers to leave reviews directly from their account or order history. More trust. More conversions.
