All 11, one by one

#1 Almendro 93/100

Data: $19.99/mo · Apple + Google · trial: 7 days, 20 customers, no card · Panama

47 seconds. That's the average from sign-up to a card in the wallet, as published by the platform. No demo to book. No app for the customer. No app for the person stamping.

Now the gaps. No points. No cashback. No referrals. A 7-day trial capped at 20 customers. If your program needs any of those, skip to the alternatives.

Verdict: Best value in the ranking. Both wallets, no app, unlimited customers from $19.99. Google reviews from the card on Professional. No points, no referrals.

For: Coffee shops and bakeries. One stamp per visit. Nobody installs anything. Skip if: Points per dollar spent, or cashback.

Missing: No points. No cashback. Stamps and memberships only.

#2 Boomerangme 75/100

Data: $199/mo · Apple + Google · trial: 14 days, no card · United States

$199. That's the entry plan. Ten times the cheapest app on this list.

You get a lot for it. 8 card types. Points. Birthdays. Reviews. RFM segments. Anti-fraud. Assisted migration. Square, Clover and Toast.

Verdict: Most features in the ranking. #2 overall. Too expensive for one shop.

For: Chains with 4–10 locations and a marketing budget. Skip if: A single shop doing under $5,000 a month.

Missing: $199 a month to start.

#3 Yollty 56/100

Data: €69/mo · Apple + Google · trial: 7 days, no card · Luxembourg

Yollty checks most boxes. Both wallets. Points and stamps. Tiers. Referrals. Birthdays. Google reviews.

Now look where they live. Reviews: €99 plan. POS and Shopify: €99 plan. Removing "Powered by Yollty": €239. Entry: €69.

Verdict: Has referrals, the thing Almendro lacks. Priced in euros. The good stuff sits two tiers up.

For: Programs that need points, tiers and referrals. Skip if: One shop that wants everything on the entry plan.

Missing: €69 entry. Reviews and integrations from €99.

#4 Stamp Me 49/100

Data: $49/mo · Own app + wallet · trial: 30 days, no card · Australia

30 days free. No card. The clock starts when you publish your first card. Longest self-serve trial here.

The catch: one location per plan, and stamping into the wallet runs through their merchant app. A Capterra reviewer: customers "have to close and reopen it to get it to scan".

Verdict: Good for one shop that wants Scratch & Win. Every extra location is another plan.

For: One shop in Australia, the UK or the US. Skip if: Chains. One location per plan.

Missing: One location per plan.

#5 Loyalzoo 47/100

Data: $77/mo · Apple + Google · trial: 7 days · United Kingdom

Clover. Square. Epos Now. Shopify. That's where Loyalzoo shines.

Off those systems, a Capterra user puts it plainly: "If you're not using Clover, it's a LOT of work around and manual labor".

Verdict: Makes sense on a supported POS. Without one, $77 buys less than cheaper apps.

For: Shops already on Clover, Square or Epos Now. Skip if: Shops without an integrated POS.

Missing: Manual work off Clover, per users.

#6 PassKit 47/100

Data: $39.50/mo · Apple + Google · trial: 45 days · Hong Kong

PassKit is the pass infrastructure other loyalty apps run on. 45-day trial. $39.50 a month for the platform, then a fee per pass after the first 250.

Capterra users: "For setup you need technical knowledge." And: "you're left to do the Apple Certificates."

Verdict: For teams with a developer. Too much work for an owner on their own.

For: Companies with a developer who want custom passes by API. Skip if: Owners with no technical help.

Missing: Needs technical knowledge.

#7 Piggy 42/100

Data: $79/mo · Native wallet · trial: Limited free plan, no card · Netherlands

CRM. 100+ integrations. A free plan with limited features. Paid plans: $79, $299, $849.

A user sums it up: "a lot of features, so sometimes it is difficult to have a good overview".

Verdict: Strong for European e-commerce. Expect a learning curve.

For: Shopify stores in Europe. Skip if: A counter business that wants to start today.

Missing: Learning curve reported.

#8 Kangaroo Rewards 31/100

Data: $79/mo · Own app · trial: Not published · Canada

Every button on Kangaroo's site ends at a booking form. No self-serve sign-up.

Core: $79, no multi-location. Plus: $199. Elite: $349. A Capterra reviewer: "As a small business, this was a costly investment."

Verdict: Points and tiers for North America. No self-serve. Multi-location starts at $199.

For: Canadian shops running a points program. Skip if: Owners who want to start without a demo.

Missing: No self-serve.

#9 TapMango 27/100

Data: Quote only · App + tablet · trial: No trial · Canada

No public price. Third-party sources: $350–400 a month. 12-month contract. $3,000 to leave early.

You get an 8-inch counter tablet. It asks for Google reviews.

Verdict: For North American chains that want hardware. Not for a small shop.

For: US and Canadian chains that want a counter tablet. Skip if: Anyone who won't sign a contract.

Missing: 12-month contract, per third parties.

#10 Como 24/100

Data: Demo only · Branded app · trial: No trial · Israel

Como sells a branded app with 90+ POS integrations. Price: demo only.

Capterra reviewers: "3 screens you must click through". And it "only worked if guests completed a text form, which most didn't".

Verdict: Built for restaurant groups with a marketing team. Overkill for one shop.

For: Restaurant groups that want their own app. Skip if: Small shops. Anyone who wants a price before a call.

Missing: Demo-only pricing.

Full Como review →

#11 Perkville 16/100

Data: $159/mo per location · Not published · trial: No trial · United States

$159 a month. Per location. Up to 2,500 customers each, then $209 and $259.

G2 reviewers report an "average of 3 months to implement". It plugs into your POS or booking software.

Verdict: For gyms and studios on a supported booking system. Slow and pricey for anyone else.

For: Gyms and studios on a supported booking system. Skip if: Shops that want a wallet stamp card this week.

Missing: Per-location pricing.

Full Perkville review →

How to choose. 5 questions for any vendor.

  1. Can customers save the card without an app? Ask for a live demo on an iPhone and an Android. If either needs an app, half your customers won't bother.
  2. What do I pay with all my customers and locations? Skip the entry price. Ask for your number. Some charge per customer, some per location.
  3. Who answers when it breaks, and how fast? Get channel, hours and response time in writing. One app on this list publishes a response time: Almendro.
  4. What happens to my customers if I cancel? Ask if you can export the list.
  5. Is it their own product or resold? If the price hides behind a demo, ask what runs underneath.

By business

Coffee shops

Coffee runs on frequency. Same customer, 8–10 visits a month.

Barbershops

Clients come back every 3–4 weeks. Forget once, they go to the shop down the street.

Nail salons

High ticket. Fill-ins every 2–3 weeks. A client who stays is worth a lot.

Restaurants

The card competes with the bill, the tip and the rush. And there's usually a second location in the plan.
