Rivo is the strongest value pick for retailers who want tiers. Its free plan covers up to 200 monthly orders with a loyalty points program, ways to earn and redeem, branding and automated email campaigns. The $15 Essential plan raises the cap to 500 orders and adds a dedicated loyalty and referral page, product page embeds, on-site prompts, two integrations and Shopify POS. The $49 Scale plan is the one to compare: it includes 400 orders, then $20 per 100 more, and adds VIP tiers, points expiry, bonus campaigns, analytics, custom CSS and fonts and the referrals program, with the listing stating a cap of $499 a month regardless of volume. Plus at $499 covers up to 2,500 orders and adds custom integrations, advanced analytics, a developer toolkit and checkout extensions. The listing names Klaviyo, Gorgias, Postscript and Attentive integrations. The gaps are an English-only listing and overage pricing that rises quickly between 400 and 2,500 orders.
