Pros

“One of Grin's standout features is its seamless integration with Shopify, which significantly simplifies the process for influencers to place orders.”
vU

veronica U.

Project Manager

“I love how quick they are to respond to support messages when I need an extra hand, my CSM's bi-weekly or monthly meetings with me, and my ability to be worry free when it comes to everything pulling into GRIN so I don't have to manually track it.”

“GRIN has taken me from spreadsheets and hours of data pulling to being able to really interact with the community and focus my time and energy where it really matters.”

Pros

“We can now manage affiliate links, discount codes, commissions, applications, referrals, and payouts from one place, which saves time and gives us much more confidence in the data.”

Daniel W.

COO

“UpPromote has enough features to handle just about any affiliate program we want to run, whether it's custom commissions, affiliate links, discount codes, or more advanced setups. And when I can't immediately figure out how to accomplish something, their support team is always quick to respond and has consistently helped me find a solution.”
MM

Mike M.

Founder

“It helped connect me with affiliates, made it easier to manage collaborations, and created a more organized way to work together and track affiliate relationships.”
NG

Nickolas G.

CEO

Cons

“Their "Curated lists" feature, touted as a white-glove service for creator search, is laughable.”
EL

Eda L.

CEO

“They excel at cold selling and misleading demos, coercing small businesses into a 12 month contract.”
EL

Eda L.

CEO

“At some point Grin excluded Instagram and it was difficult to search for new influencers.”
ON

Oana N.

Influencer Specialist

Cons

“Also, the design customization for registration pages feels a bit rigid unless you upgrade to the higher-tier paid plans.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Baher M.

CEO

“It feels like some tabs are hidden and things I didn't know need set up can take some digging to find.”
JE

Jenna E.

Brand and Marketing Strategist

“My only frustration so far is that we exceeded our monthly referral numbers one month and didn't know that referrals were not getting approved.”
