When this is the right pick

On Talmee vs Shopney

Will switching from Shopney to Talmee lose my App Store reviews?

No. Talmee re-points the existing App Store and Google Play listings on launch day, so reviews, ratings, install base, and the customer-facing icon all carry across. The customer sees an improved app under the same listing.

Is Talmee actually cheaper than Shopney?

On a 24-month total cost basis, Talmee usually wins for brands generating more than about £30,000 a month in app revenue. Shopney is meaningfully cheaper at the entry tier; the calculation only flips at higher GMV or when design quality starts to matter.

Can both apps integrate with Klaviyo, Recharge, Yotpo, LoyaltyLion?

Both support the standard Shopify Plus retention stack. The difference is depth: Talmee writes native React Native components against each partner's API; Shopney surfaces them through their builder's component library. The visible result is most noticeable on loyalty status displays, subscription portals and review snippets.
