Of all the loyalty platforms available, Loyoly is considered the best alternative to Smile.io for brands looking to go beyond basic point systems.
While Smile.io is easy to set up, it offers limited customization and doesn’t support rewards for social engagement. Loyoly stands out by letting you reward not just purchases, but also user-generated content (UGC) and social actions on Instagram or TikTok, something no other platform does with automated validation. You also get full design control over your loyalty page and missions, making it easy to align the experience with your brand identity.
Other alternatives like Yotpo, Okendo, LoyaltyLion, or Rivo may suit specific use cases, but Loyoly combines deep personalization, strong retention features, and a focus on community engagement, making it the top choice for fast-growing e-commerce brands.
Yes, Loyoly is an excellent alternative to Smile.io for Shopify stores, especially if you're looking for deeper integration and more conversion-focused features.
Loyoly offers the most advanced Shopify integration on the market, including a unique extension directly on the checkout page. With it, your customers can see how many points they’ll earn from their order, redeem available rewards, and even exchange their points for new rewards in real time—without ever leaving the checkout.
Another Loyoly extension displays, on every product page, the number of points shoppers would earn by purchasing that item. These features make your loyalty program visible throughout the entire customer journey, driving higher engagement, more reward redemptions, and ultimately, more repeat purchases.
Migrating from Smile.io to Loyoly is fast, smooth, and fully supported by our team. We handle the entire process for you, from importing your existing data (points, tiers, customer info) to rebuilding your program with enhanced customization and features.
Most brands are fully migrated and live within just a few days. Your dedicated account manager takes care of every step, ensuring zero downtime and a seamless transition for your users. With Loyoly, switching isn’t just easy—it’s an opportunity to upgrade your loyalty experience.
Compared to Smile.io, Loyoly offers a more advanced and complete approach to loyalty. While Smile.io focuses mainly on transactional rewards, Loyoly lets you build tailor-made programs that combine transactional loyalty, relational engagement, referrals, and VIP tiers, all in one flexible platform.
