Retently Unique Features
We built Retently with NPS in mind, and we offer users unique perks that make customer experience management easier which they otherwise wouldn’t get with Promoter.io.
In-App Web Surveys
Promoter.io limits you to only sending email surveys, and has no support for in-app web surveys. That means you will miss out on a lot of relevant feedback since in-app web surveys are vital to successful product development.
With Retently, you get to run in-app web surveys to keep track of all relevant feedback - alongside email and Intercom surveys too.
Transactional NPS Campaigns
Promoter.io offers access to campaigns, but only regular ones. With Retently, you get transactional campaigns on top of regular ones, so that you have more chances to interact with customers and ask for feedback.
And while Promoter.io offers decent campaign management and access to customer lifecycle NPS, Retently gives you all that, and extra control over your audience, survey templates, scheduling, notifications, and custom workflows - all in one place.
Highly Customizable Survey Templates
Promoter.io gives you some decent customization options for your survey templates, but you’re still faced with limitations.
Retently allows you to customize pretty much everything in your survey template:
Multi-Language Setup
Promoter.io limits you to 39 languages with the built-in language selector. Retently, however, goes the extra mile and gives you full reign over how you want to customize the language in your surveys. You aren’t limited by any language selectors or predefined translations. Instead, you can fully customize your NPS survey texts and translate them as you need.
No Survey Branding
None of our surveys contain any branding - they’ll only resemble your own company. Promoter.io still restricts you to having their branding on your surveys.
Effortless Workflows & Automation
With Retently, you can automate a lot of your NPS tasks and surveys with multiple integrations. While you can do something similar with Promoter.io, Retently offers you access to workflows that can save lot of time (for instance, you can automatically follow-up and start conversations with respondents who don’t leave any text feedback).
24/7 Customer Support
We have a dedicated support team that works non-stop to make sure all your questions are answered, and that you always receive the assistance you need as fast as possible. With Promoter.io, you might have to wait a while to get a response sometimes, or pay extra for priority support (only available with the pricier Scale and Enterprise plans).
