app differences

The differences that need words

.

Plan access. Both apps gate features by plan, in different places. Froonze puts birthday and newsletter points, the loyalty page and analytics on its free plan, but that plan stops at 100 orders. BON gates VIP tiers at Growth ($129, or $103 billed annually). Froonze offers them from Advanced at $10.

Store credit. Froonze can reward customers with native Shopify store credit, which needs new customer accounts. BON does not offer store credit. If your customers should spend rewards across the store as money, this is the clearest practical difference.

What BON does that Froonze does not. BON has referrals on its free plan, limited-time bonus events and free product rewards built in. Froonze has no native version of the last two.

competitor fit

When BON might be the better choice

.
  • You want referrals at no cost. BON includes them on its free plan. Froonze includes them from Advanced ($10/mo).
  • You want bonus events or free product rewards built in. Froonze covers both with workarounds.
  • You run a Shopify Plus store and want checkout redemption on a lower plan. BON offers it on every plan. Froonze offers it on Unlimited ($60/mo).

Why merchants choose Froonze

.
  • A lower step into VIP tiers. Up to 5 tiers from $10/mo, against BON's $129/mo Growth plan.
  • Store credit as a reward. Native Shopify store credit, on the free plan. BON does not offer store credit.
  • More on the free plan. Birthday and newsletter points, the loyalty page and analytics are free on Froonze. BON puts them on paid plans.
  • One dashboard for more than loyalty. Add wishlists, reviews and customer accounts later, together or separately, without another app.

Migration Details

Moving from BON

Question Answer
What can be moved from BON? Customer points balances, from a CSV.
How does data come in? BON's help says exports are emailed to you. Froonze takes the CSV through its self-serve import ("Add points to existing customer balances", up to 10MB).
Who does the work? Merchants can use the self-serve import. Support-assisted migration is listed from Loyalty Premium.
What should you test first? Import a few customers and check balances, then tiers, expiry dates and the rewards customers can redeem. We have not tested a full BON-to-Froonze migration, so start with a small file.
