Period. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Pierre Antoine C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have launched several campaigns for friends, clients and myself. Results and excitments are always there like clockwise. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros To put it in a nutshell, if you vever had experienced your leadgen campaign skyrocketibg your figures ro the moon... thta is that you don't use Upviral. Easy fix? Give it a try right now, the price is an insanity of a bargain compared to the pleasure of use ans the results achieved. Final words : I am 200% biased, as I have purchased the whole [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] amazing killerapps suites for years (Connectio, Upviral, etc.).

Have a great day ahead, UpViral Team Replied February 2022 --- ### Viral lead generation made easy and fun. UpViral is a solid tool for this. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall I think this is one of the best tools out there for viral lead generation. If you want to build your email list faster, it's a great idea to encorporate viral list building in your business, by using contests and other viral campaigns. UpViral has been around for years, has a very good customer support and the owner/creator Wilco creates great training for customers, so you can always improve your marketing skills. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros To be honest, the main reason I like this tool is that the whole set up is smooth and doesn't take much time. You can get a quality viral lead generation campaign up in running fast, by just using the templates and standard settings and making a few customization. Upviral makes it easy, offers enough documentation and has a very user-friendly interface. Once you play around with it for some hours, you'll feel like you know this platform and can really start creating new campaigns fast (including cloning your successful campaigns and then just changing some details). Overall this is a modern, solid tool that works great for beginners and also offers advanced settings in case you need it later. #### Cons There's not much that I dislike. It's all pretty solid and you can see a lot of research and testing went into the development of this tool. It's also frequently updated. I would personally like to see a couple of extra social sharing methods being added and be able to customize the points system more. I need to add that having more options doesn't always guarantee you get better results, because it's often better to stick to proven settings instead of trying to come up with something unique. Pricing could also be a little bit lower, but you pay for a high-quality tool and with the amount of viral leads you can collect, this quickly pays back your investment. #### Vendor response Thanks, we highly appreciate your honest review :) Replied February 2022 --- ### Terrible Customer Service - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Animation - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Their widget is OK, kind of convoluted to use, but the customer service is really bad. I was having issues with logging into the account and the widget was broken for over a month. I got locked out of the account even though they charged me for a whole year and after two people no one is able to help me resolve my issue. I'm trying to cancel the platform, but not even sure if I can because I'm locked out of my account even after doing multiple password resets. It's gotten to the point where they say my e-mail doesn't exist in their database. Just a mess. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It was helpful to get people to share your content, but it depends on the type of industry you are in. Probably doesn't work for B2B. #### Cons Bad customer service. Hard to get a hold of people. --- ### Referrals are a businesses best friend - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros As a software developer myself... I understand the amount of time that has gone into UpViral's creation and constant enhancements. The UpViral team is stable, not fly by night rubbish software... they are clearly in it for the long haul. There is nothing WORSE that buying a product and 6 months or a year of implementation later... that company, that time invested and effort has disappeared! #### Cons Every product can be improved and over my years with UpViral -- I've watched the steady progression. Anyone getting in now, has the benefit of all those years of improvements. --- ### It Pays For Itself! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jerrell S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Professional Training & Coaching - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: August 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered CASE STUDYIn Kenya, a Nairobi restaurant wanted to increase visibility to its target market and increase its mailing list. Facebook ad campaign + viral giveaway consisting of 2 dinners for two. The campaign lasted for 42 days. Results: We targeted a group of 25-44 living in the Nairobi area with an interest in food, restaurants, and eating out. We reached 205431 people, 6549 clicked on the ad, and were sent to the giveaway page on UpViral. 5462 opted-in (left their name and email) and started social and email sharing to collect points. The viral loop was started and, at the end of the campaign, we had 21903 visitors to the giveaway campaign generating 5231 leads. Of these leads, 1792 came directly from Facebook advertising, and 3439 leads came from the viral giveaway campaign. So the client received a 192% increase in leads over a plain Facebook ad campaign. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros UpViral is very performant (see my Case Study), and easy to use. #### Cons UpViral could probably use more pre-made campaigns. --- ### Upviral does what it claims - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Great support and continual development of this software. I bought it when it first came out and where it is today is a massive evolution. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Has integrations with just about every autoresponder and CRM. Super easy to use and a great editor with split testing. contest rules are easy to set up and extra incentives are useful too. #### Cons I'd like the ability to have the fraud detection on but not blacklist people straight away. It would be nice to have a list of possible fraud that I could review and decide if I want to block them. Kind of like a grey list. #### Vendor response Thanks for your positive review, Julian. Feel free to share your suggestion on features.upviral.com and our product team will consider it. All the best, UpViral Team Replied February 2022 --- ### Happy with the contest program & customer support - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Scott B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Generally speaking I like the testing and experience that Upviral is offering. The ideas and frameworks are good, but as with anything, it will all still require your own hard work to implement and execute a successful campaign. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I liked the promise of the product. UpViral appears to be an experienced and reputable organisation with clear insights of how to leverage opportunities. I had purchased a one time offer for the 'Contest' program and found the information helpful. #### Cons Initially I had some issues with the subscription service. I didn't notice/realise that I was subscribing to a service (That I didn't need), however I cancelled the subscription and the great news is that I received good support and a refund. --- ### Super easy to use, GIVES RESULTS!! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Bojan R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I am running a digital marketing agency and UpViral is a great tool that I added on my tool belt. I don't use it with every client and on every campaign but it is good when you can pull out one more ace from the sleeve. :) #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Drag and drop interface for setup of campaign. #### Cons I use HubSpot for CRM. It is connected with UpViral and my new contacts are entering the CRM. However, I have to manually to give consent for new contacts that enter from the campaign. This is more on the integration side. #### Vendor response Bojan, we're happy to read that our platform is making a positive impact on your business. Thanks for the review and keep crushing it with UpViral.
