This comparison explains Memberply’s perspective and links to both providers’ sources. It is not an independent review.
Start with the program you want to run
Memberply is a Rivo alternative to evaluate when your offer centers on paid or free membership tiers with benefits such as credit, discounts, shipping and points. Rivo also offers memberships, so paid access alone is not a reason to switch.
Write down three journeys before comparing prices: how a shopper joins, how they earn and use a reward, and what happens when their membership ends. A lower app bill is useful only if the replacement supports the journeys your store needs.
For example, a fictional coffee store might want a free tier with purchase points and a paid tier with recurring credit and shipping benefits. Check each tier independently, including who qualifies, how rewards are delivered and what the benefits cost. This is a planning example, not a customer result.
Compare membership and reward requirements
| Requirement | Rivo | Memberply |
|---|---|---|
| Paid membership offer | Rivo’s dedicated membership page describes a Shopify Plus solution with recurring billing. Confirm eligibility and your quote. | Create paid or free tiers and configure membership benefits. Explore membership tiers. |
| Points and credit | The loyalty listing includes points and redemption options; the website also markets a separate Cashback product. Confirm your package. | Purchase points can be redeemed for credit; credit delivery depends on the customer account experience. Review reward points. |
| Customer experience | Rivo markets Accounts alongside loyalty and memberships. Define which account features you need. | The member portal provides membership and benefit access. Do not assume parity with every account-personalization feature. |
| Connected workflows | Check your required Rivo events, integrations and developer-tool access against the exact plan. | Compare the documented Klaviyo membership fields and webhook options with the workflows you currently use. |
| In-store use | The App Store listing includes Shopify POS support. Check the plan and locations. | Verify each Memberply POS journey you need, including reward use and membership access. |

Compare the exact Rivo plan with Memberply Growth
Rivo’s App Store loyalty plans and its website product packages describe different scopes. Do not use the entry loyalty price as a quote for every membership or Accounts requirement.
| Option | Published price | Buying check |
|---|---|---|
| Rivo Free | Free; up to 200 monthly orders | A relevant option if its included loyalty features meet your needs. |
| Rivo Essential | US$15/month; up to 500 monthly orders | Confirm the earning rules and integrations required. |
| Rivo Scale | US$49/month including 400 orders; US$20 per additional 100 orders, capped at US$499/month | Confirm how billable orders and feature inclusions apply to your store. |
| Rivo product packages | Website lists Cashback from US$199/month, Accounts from US$499/month and custom bundles | Request a scoped quote rather than assuming these products are included in an entry loyalty plan. |
| Memberply Growth | US$49/month; unlimited members; 14-day trial | Includes standard features. Rewards you fund, Shopify/payment fees and custom work are separate. |

Illustrative Scale calculation: at 600 billable monthly orders, the listed formula gives US$49 + (2 × US$20) = US$89. That is US$40 above Memberply Growth’s app fee. It is not a feature-equivalent quote or guaranteed saving; implementation, other tools and benefit funding can change the total.
When to keep Rivo, and when to trial Memberply
Keep Rivo on your shortlist if your current loyalty rules, account customization, connected workflows or implementation support are central to the program. Its free plan may also be enough for a smaller program. Replacing working processes has a cost.
Trial Memberply if you want a membership benefit bundle and can meet your requirements with its standard features. Test the complete offer, including store credit, points redemption and membership management, before deciding.
Rivo’s dedicated membership page currently lists Shopify Plus and over US$5M GMV among its requirements. Confirm those terms with Rivo; they describe that membership offering, not every Rivo loyalty installation. Read the published requirements.
Plan the switch around balances and customer access
Inventory what you would move
Record members, points balances, issued rewards, available credit, expiry dates, current tiers and the automations using those values. Agree which system remains responsible for each outstanding reward.
Separate member import from reward migration
Memberply’s member CSV import supports member records, with up to 500 per file. It is not a promise of automatic Rivo points, credit, history or subscription transfer. Confirm a migration plan before ending the existing service.
Reconcile one customer end to end
Use an approved test case to verify tier status and reward value. Avoid issuing replacement credit while leaving the same value spendable in the old system.
Define the cutover
Agree when earning stops in the old program, when benefits begin in the new one and how customers will learn about changes. Recheck billing and payment setup separately.
Use the loyalty migration guide and member import documentation to scope the work.
Use the trial to answer practical buying questions
Build one real offer
Configure a tier and the benefits you intend to sell or offer for free. Use your store’s currency and realistic reward costs.
Test eligibility and redemption
Check an active member, a non-member and an ended membership. Follow purchase points through to redemption and checkout in your intended account experience.
Verify integrations and POS
Compare exact fields, events and in-store steps. A shared integration name does not establish the same behavior.
Record gaps and total costs
List missing requirements, migration tasks, recurring app charges and the benefits you fund. A 14-day trial can validate setup, not prove long-term retention lift.
Rivo alternative questions
Is Memberply a Rivo alternative?
Yes, for merchants whose membership and reward requirements match Memberply’s standard features. Compare the actual customer journeys, integrations and migration work before switching.
Does Rivo support paid memberships?
Yes. Rivo has a dedicated membership offering. Its published page describes a Shopify Plus solution and lists eligibility requirements; confirm the current scope and quote with Rivo.
Is Memberply always cheaper than Rivo?
No. Rivo lists free and lower-priced loyalty options. Memberply Growth is US$49/month. Compare the plan and additional services you need rather than assuming every program costs the same.
Can I automatically move all Rivo data into Memberply?
Do not assume automatic migration. Member imports, reward balances, issued credit, historical activity and recurring payment arrangements need separate verification.
Does Memberply replace every Rivo integration?
No equivalent coverage is promised. Check each required field, event and workflow against Memberply’s documentation before migrating.
