You pay based on impressions rather than video views. Allows the app to charge you just for people viewing your product pages. So now you have to worry about CPMs on Ad Platforms AND CPMs on your product page. Don't be seduced by what looks like low monthly costs, look to alternatives that charge per view rather than per impression.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the outstanding service and partnership provided by the Tolstoy team. From the very start, their communication and willingness to help with our integration process was seamless. . They were always available to answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and provide guidance with a forward-thinking approach that kept our long-term goals in mind. We look forward to continuing to work together and highly recommend them to anyone seeking a team that prioritizes innovation, reliability, and genuine partnership.

The App is not tyrannical in relation to excess viewing charges. They guided me to analyze video viewing information that was not the impressions of the videos. It is unfeasible due to the high prices.

Amazing Customer Support and Visually Stunning Tool!!! I can't say enough good things about Tolstoy. Mr. Buluran, the Customer Success Manager assigned to us, was incredible attentive, spending over an hour and a half helping me set up the app and ensuring everything was working perfectly. That level of support truly made a difference. (Thank you Francis!!!) As for the app itself, I was blown away by how visually engaging it made our webpage look. Seeing our products in motion adds a completely different dynamic compared to still images - it's like the content came to life! Tolstoy should be a core part of customer experience strategy for retail brands. Highly recommend!

What a great addition to any ecommerce site in this day and age; marrying the UGC and video storytelling with shoppable capabilities. Also the team, especially Gaya and Gilbert, are the absolute best to work with!

Niezl has been very patient and accommodating when helping me to customise the Tolstoy app to suit my shop's requirements. Haven't set the app live yet, but the support has been great so far.

We stumbled upon the tool by chance, looking for options to effectively integrate our UGC content on the web. Although we have only been using it for a short time, we are very happy with the support team and setting up everything is very easy and with many options. Wesley and Gilbert are very nice and so far they have totally met our expectations. We will see how it performs over the next few weeks.... I'm sure it will be great!

We love Tolstoy. The world is accustomed to short-story-type videos that are easily accessible and we mainly use Tolstoy for that functionality. It easily integrates with all of our platforms and video channels. The team is responsive and very helpful with anything we need. The sticker shock is real but it is well worth it
