    We work with [sensitive content hidden] and he has been great about helping us whenever we can't figure something out or helping us find solutions when we encounter a limitation or need a workaround.

    Pros

    We switched from Fivestars as we are expanding to e-commerce and needed a provider that could work with us due to being in a regulated industry. We like that we can do targeted marketing based on behaviors , recent purchases, visits interests, tiers, etc. These metrics are important to understand your customers. Kangaroo customer service has been great about finding a solution when we encounter limitations within our industry or software integrations. There is an integration with Klaviyo as well, so that is nice to have. We got this software because it integrates with Lightspeed POS as well.

    Cons

    I hope the developers can allow us to manually export our own customers lists via a filter/csv download in the future instead of the user needing to rely on Kangaroo each time. I would recommend Kangaroo using an unlimited email system, up to 10,000 emails or a similar system and build that into their contract instead of the credit system, as emails don't cost the same as SMS texts. Most providers are using the credit system and this would set them apart.

    Reasons for Choosing Kangaroo

    Fivestars is very basic and suitable for beginners, but not for companies who are looking to grow. There are no metrics for behaviors other than basic redemptions, there is no ability to target groups of people based on behaviors/purchases, no white labeling. Fivestars uses their brand to promote their business, so that means it encourages customers to go anywhere that takes Fivestars, including your competitors if they also have Fivestars. If a customer unsubscribes from one Fivestar business, it will also opt them out of yours too. Customers don't recognize your brand when they get some of the notifications, so they will tune you out over time. Fivestars SMS and email program is very basic and limited.

    SumUp

    Reasons for Switching to Kangaroo

    Kangaroo's pricing was a lot better in terms of implementation, set up, and annual cost.

    My overall experience has been excellent. The program itself is easy to use, and the support team goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. It’s clear they care about their customers, which makes a huge difference. Highly recommended!

    Pros

    The best part about Kangaroo Rewards is the incredible support they provide. [sensitive content hidden], in particular, is amazing, he’s always there to help, no matter the time. Even on a Saturday, when it was his day off, he made sure we got the assistance we needed. The entire team is very responsive and reliable, which makes using the program a pleasure.

    Cons

    Honestly, there’s nothing major to complain about. If I had to nitpick, it would be that sometimes there’s a small learning curve when getting started, but their team is always there to guide you through it.
