Extole 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

About Extole

Extole is a customer acquisition and referral software that helps businesses connect with their customers and employees to optimize revenue. Organizations can assign moderators to manage campaigns, customer communication, and internal as well as external rewards, such as loyalty points, coupons, and gift cards with built-in anti-fraud protocols.

Extole allows team members to optimize customer engagement processes by creating custom rewards, conducting a/b testing, generating real-time reports, setting up language localization protocols, and more on a centralized platform. It also comes with an application programming interface (API), which allows businesses to integrate the platform with several third-party solutions, such as Salesforce, Listrak, PowerReviews, and more.

    Pros:
    Extole helped us set up a professional refer-a-friend program in just a few days. Their customer service and tech team are first-class. We love how their support team continues to suggest ways to improve conversions and they have been willing to A/B test new ideas to make sure we are going with the best option. Their refer-a-friend program is completely seamless and it requires very little effort to run after the initial setup is complete.
    Cons:
    We wish we would have signed up with them years ago.

    Decent gift card management software

    3

    We use Extole to distribute gift cards to various parties. While it is easy to send them, sometimes reporting can be a bit tedious and less than accurate. If we were to scale and send more gift cards, I would look for a more robust program.

    Extole Equates to Excellence

    5

    They are an outstanding software provider. I can't compliment them enough and most times am in shock of how they were able to help us launch in one day! The experience didn't end after launching, Extole provides you with a Client Services Manager that will work with you to continuously optimize your program. You are never left feeling abandoned after launch. Which happens many times after a product launch with the vendor. I can't say enough wonderful things about Extole and their team.

    Pros:
    We desperately needed a tool to assist in the automation of our referral program. Extole's platform did exactly that and more! Included with the program are Design & Strategy services, Launch Services, Creative Services and continued reporting, analysis and optimization. What has been an priceless is the addition of a client services manager. She's amazing and continues to deliver what was promised.
    Cons:
    The dashboard could be more intuitive but it is easy to learn with your CSM's assistance.

    Our experience with Extole has been incredible. We always receive the support we need (and beyond), which facilitates things for us. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is the best and has so many insights/ideas that align with our marketing strategies and tactics. The onboarding experience along with the cutover to our new website both went smoothly, so thank you to Extole for being a wonderful partner and helping us meet our sales/business goals!
