Opinion: the app is rarely the big cost. The reward is. What matters is how many customers actually save the card. No app wins that.
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.
Time to the first installed card: 5/5 · Undo stamp, daily limit, stamps per staff member: 5/5 · Entry price with unlimited customers: 5/5 · Apple and Google Wallet, no app: 5/5 · Google reviews from the card: 5/5
Most features in the ranking. #2 overall. Too expensive for one shop.
Time to the first installed card: 3/5 · Undo stamp, daily limit, stamps per staff member: 4/5 · Entry price with unlimited customers: 1/5 · Apple and Google Wallet, no app: 5/5 · Google reviews from the card: 3/5
Has referrals, the thing Almendro lacks. Priced in euros. The good stuff sits two tiers up.

8 to 10. At 3 visits a month, it fills in 3–4 months.
Among apps with published prices, both wallets and unlimited customers: Almendro at $19.99.
