Common questions
What is a wallet loyalty card?
The loyalty card is saved in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, which are already on the phone. Customers scan a QR code in the shop and add the card with one tap. On each visit your staff scan the card and the stamp appears on the phone.
What should a small shop compare?
The price per location and month, the limits of any free plan, whether customers need an app, how your staff stamp (their own app or the browser), whether you can send messages to customers and where the data is stored. Those are the rows in the table.
How up to date is this?
Every value was checked on the provider's own website on the date shown, and the sources are listed below. Prices and plans change, so we check the table every three months. If something is wrong, please let us know.
Why do some cells say “Not stated”?
Because we could not find a clear statement on the provider's website. We do not guess. In that case, ask the provider directly.
What it costs
The Free plan costs €0 and covers up to 30 active cards. The Standard plan costs €9.00 per month or €84.00 per year, billed annually in advance, with no card limit and with messages to your customers. No setup fee.
