## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Best" depends on which agency you are - a Shopify/DTC shop reselling an app, a digital agency wanting a white-label product under your own brand, or a consultancy building bespoke programs for enterprise clients. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **If your clients are Shopify/DTC brands (most agencies)**
> 
> 1. **Smile.io** - the default first pick. Easiest to deploy across many clients, has a real agency partner program with revenue share, partner discounts, and enablement material so you can build a loyalty practice in-house. Low support burden per client, which matters when you're running 15 of these. ([smile.io/partners](https://smile.io/partners))
> 2. **LoyaltyLion** - go here instead of Smile when the client is a larger DTC brand that needs deeper segmentation, tier logic, and Klaviyo-driven lifecycle integration. More setup work, more room for you to bill strategy hours. ([klaviyo.com](https://www.klaviyo.com/blog/best-loyalty-program-software))
> 3. **Yotpo** - pick it when the client already uses Yotpo for reviews/SMS and wants one vendor and one data set rather than best-of-breed. Consolidation is the argument, not the loyalty engine itself. ([yotpo.com](https://www.yot
