ShopBack vs Incentise
Cashback platform vs public incentive proof. ShopBack delivers cashback privately through affiliate links; Incentise turns every delivered incentive into visible acknowledgment and trust-building social proof for providers.

Incentise
What Incentise Does

Every delivered incentive becomes marketing.

Why Incentise Is Different
1. Incentives Don't Disappear
With traditional cashback, value is delivered and forgotten. With Incentise, delivery becomes proof.
2. Public Trust Layer
Each incentive becomes:
- A visible acknowledgment
- A signal of generosity
- A credibility asset for providers
3. Marketing That Compounds
Affiliate cashback stops at conversion. Public incentives continue building trust long after delivery.
