Loyalty+ vs Stamp Me

Stamp Me is one of the longest-running digital punch-card apps, with plans listed from roughly $29–49/month as of August 2026. Its defining design choice — and the main reason owners look for alternatives — is that your customers must download the Stamp Me app to join your program.

The app-download problem

Every install you require costs you sign-ups: the customer is at your till with a queue behind them, and "download this app, create an account" is a big ask for a free coffee. App-based programs also live inside the vendor's app alongside other businesses' programs.

How Loyalty+ differs

• No customer app, ever. Scan the QR with the phone camera → the card opens in the browser → optionally lands in Apple/Google Wallet. Sign-up takes seconds.
• Your program, your brand — a card page for your shop, not an entry in someone else's app.
• Earning beyond stamps: points per euro spent, per visit or per unit, with reward tiers.
• POS auto-award from Square, Shopify, Stripe and 10 more — no manual stamping.
• Free tier: €0 up to 50 customers (Stamp Me's free tier is limited to its basic stamp card); Pro €39/month.

Where Stamp Me is stronger: it's a mature product with its own consumer app ecosystem, and some customers genuinely like having all their stamp cards in one place. If that trade-off suits you, it's a legitimate pick — our bet is that most local businesses lose more sign-ups to the download step than they gain from it.
