## Reviews

### "Stellar support. It's miles ahead of the other alternatives." — 5.0/5

> **Siddharth** | *2 May 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to integrate. Documentation and setup guide is comprehensive. The founder gets involved in support requests and has quick turnaround times.
> 
> **Cons**: The only thing area that could be improved in terms of UX is the number of emails I get. I suspect i'm in the minority group that finds the volume of emails annoying though.
> 
> Increased number of referrals sent out by my users by ~50%. Absolutely worth the money i spent on it.

### "An essential and easy tool for adding that viral component to build your user base" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *1 May 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cloudsponge is a great piece of software to easily integrate with and add that viral component to build your user base. I remember seeing something similar in Quora's early days and wanted something like this for our project. It would have taken us many hundreds of hours to build something similar not to mention additional time it would need to maintain and keep up with all the API changes to the different mail box providers. We were thus very happy to find Cloudsponge. Integration into our product was very easy as the documentation is very good specially for someone who knows some CSS and JS. Customer support has also been great with the CEO replying within when needed within 24hrs.
> 
> **Cons**: Pricing could be an issue for early startups but the CEO is known to be very considerate and encouraging to young startups.

### "Cloudsponge saves huge amounts of development time" — 5.0/5

> **Kyle** | *17 May 2017*
> 
> **Pros**: Cloudsponge is an excellent tool for our company. I have allowed hundreds of our users to import their friends and family from 9 different address book sources. It would have taken our development staff hours and hours of effort to enable imports from all those systems and instead we had Cloudsponge working on our website the same day we decided to give it a shot. Cloudsponge also keeps tabs on all of these outside systems for you. If one of them is making a change to their API, Cloudsponge is right there to update their import system so you don't need to worry about webmail systems making changes on their end.
> 
> **Cons**: The setup can be a little tricky and take some time if you want to use your own API keys with some of the outside systems. The new pricing is a little steep.

### "Docs are great, easy to navigate and customer support is quick" — 5.0/5

> **Richard** | *17 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use API, very customizable, docs complete enough for an engineer who hasn't used the lib before to maintain and understand the various ways of customizing the lib for their use cases. Many examples to dig through to help you get started without any help really from support or reading through an information source like SO.
> 
> **Cons**: Not sure, didn't run into one with my experience. My experience with the lib was great and the support was amazing. Cust support representative was quick to respond to my various questions and willingness to jump on VC to help out when I had issues.

### "Cornerstone of MineLife.org Referral marketing." — 5.0/5

> **Brian** | *30 August 2018* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Staff is fantastic guys to work with. They helped us quickly integrate CloudSponge into our project and their website provides developers with clear-cut guidance on how to build a world-class referral marketing program:
https://www.cloudsponge.com/solutions/referral-programs/

Looking forward to CloudSponge helping us exponentially grow our user base.
> 
> **Cons**: The Con is related to Google's Gmail validation requirements and this is where the staff exceeded our expectations - suporting us along the way.
