Why They Switch

Why businesses choose Laudy over Yotpo

Built for Main Street, not Shopify

Yotpo is engineered around product reviews for DTC and e-commerce brands. Laudy is built from the ground up for the local service business — the contractor, the clinic, the salon — that lives and dies on Google reviews.

Google reviews, not product reviews

Yotpo collects reviews on your store. Laudy sends them to Google, Yelp, and Facebook — the places local customers actually look before calling you.

No dev work required

Yotpo requires a developer integration or Shopify app install. Laudy is live in 5 minutes with a simple link — no code, no store, no integration.
