What do you like best about Viral Loops?

Viral Loops is spot on for what we needed. The tracking is super reliable, and the HubSpot integration is seamless, which made everything flow nicely. We got a campaign up and running within the first couple of days of signing up, and it worked like a charm. No messing around - just solid tech that does what it’s supposed to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viral Loops?

The setup wasn’t hard from a tech perspective, but figuring out the right referral campaign to start with took a bit of trial and error. To be fair, they offer a free onboarding session, which we skipped - but looking back, we probably should’ve taken them up on it. A bit more in-platform guidance on picking the best campaign type would’ve been handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viral Loops solving and how is that benefiting you?

Viral Loops makes it easy to track referrals across multiple campaigns for different products and services while automating rewards for both the referrer and the invitee. Instead of manually managing referral data and payouts, everything is handled seamlessly, saving us time and ensuring accuracy.

The biggest win; Scaling through referrals without the usual headaches. With Viral Loops, we can run multiple campaigns at once, tweak them as needed, and let word-of-mouth do the heavy lifting. It’s a simple way to turn happy customers into advocates while keeping the process smooth and trackable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Viral Loops?

It works, enables organic growth from evangelists Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viral Loops?

Not easy to get started or customize.

Shopify app doesn't work, not clear that it should not be used. Very minimal customization of the widget. Support ticket took 6 days to respond. When someone did (Thanos), they were not competent (could not identify the Viral Loops widget, accused me of implementing another form), had attitude, and weren't interested in offering a CSS solution to my very straightforward request.

Your FAQ would benefit from a simple section/ recommended CSS that allows the widget to be left aligned. Responsively, across devices. The support person was unable to assist with this request.

What do you like best about Viral Loops?

As a prelaunch application, Viral Loops has been fantastic and I highly recommend it to other startups trying to build a proof of concept / proof of consumer interest. The VL team has made edits to the widgets easy even for non-technical users. As we needed to quickly adapt our messaging to target new audience subgroups, this flexibility was important.

What problems is Viral Loops solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a startup that focuses on private industry sales, therefore we do not rely on traditional public marketing. VL is our only marketing vehicle beyond partner internal company newsletters to invite their employees to use our service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's very little to like about Viral Loops. The platform is rudimentary and falls short in offering the breadth and depth of services and solutions that its competitors include in their basic packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viral Loops?

Expensive but more importantly, they have the absolute worst customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viral Loops solving and how is that benefiting you?

Viral Loops is SUPPOSED to integrate into our email marketing platform to enable us to execute on our referral marketing campaigns. Unfortunately, there's a huge gap between what they claim they offer and what they actually do offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform is feature-rich, we haven't experienced significant traction from our campaigns so far, which is a bit discouraging.
