Beyond the checkmarks
The One Thing That Separates Loyaltymaster
Every platform in this comparison will get a loyalty card into your customers' phones. The difference is what happens next. Loopy Loyalty and Stamp Me give you a stamp card and a dashboard, and what you do with it is up to you. Loyaltymaster is designed to keep working in the background after the card is issued.
Geo Notifications
Message customers when they come within 100 meters (330 feet) of your point of sale — a nudge that reaches people at exactly the moment they can act on it.
Win-Back Reminders
Each month away reduces their likelihood of returning by up to 75%. Loyaltymaster reminds lapsed customers to come back before they are gone for good.
RFM Analytics
Know exactly which 20% of customers generate 80% of future sales, and which regulars are starting to slip, so every message lands where it matters.
A Referral Program Built In
Happy customers bring in new ones: both referrer and friend can earn rewards. The Referral Program is included on Growth and Enterprise plans.
All 7 Card Types
Stamp Card, Prepaid Stamp Card, Reward Card, Cash back Card, Membership Card, Gift Card, and Coupon Cards — so you are never locked into stamps.
Pricing
What You Actually Get Per Dollar
At $40 a month, Loyaltymaster includes done-for-you setup, all 7 card types, win-back reminders, and a referral engine. At $25 a month, Loopy Loyalty gives you a stamp card you design and configure yourself. Look closely at what a free trial of a self-service tool actually gives you: fifteen days to do the work yourself. For $1.00 you get a full month of a loyalty program we designed, branded, and set up for you. The price gap is smaller than it looks once you count the work you do not have to do.
| Feature | Loopy Loyalty | Loyaltymaster | Stamp Me |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry planThe cheapest published monthly plan on each platform. | $25 a month | $40 a month | $49 a month |
| Larger plansLoyaltymaster Growth is $69 and Enterprise is $99 a month, for 3 or 10 card programs of your choice. | $69 / $95 | $69 / $99 | Up to $199 |
| Try before you payLoyaltymaster has no free trial. Your first month is just $1.00 instead — and where a trial of a self-service tool buys you time to build the program yourself, a dollar here buys you a month of one already built for you. | 15-day trial | $1.00 month 1 | Free trial |
| Yearly billingLoyaltymaster yearly plans are $400, $690, and $990 paid in advance — two months free. | Available | 2 months free | Available |
| Setup feeThe standard $500 design and setup fee is waived as a limited-time offer. | None | Waived | None |
| Counter hardwareNone of these platforms need hardware — a smartphone scans just fine. Stamp Me sells its StampPod tap device separately; the Loyaltymaster Tap Device is on its way and will stay optional. | Not offered | On its way | Extra cost |

A system, not just a card
A loyalty system that runs on auto-pilot.
The real difference shows up after the card is in the wallet. Here is what Loyaltymaster does in the background while you run your business:
- A customer comes within 100 meters (330 feet) of your door — a geo notification fires.
- A regular has not been in for a while — a win-back reminder goes out.
- A customer has a birthday — a reward lands on their lock screen.
- A happy customer refers a friend — and both can earn rewards on Growth and Enterprise plans.

Which Platform Should You Choose?
Choose Loyaltymaster if you want it done for you
You give us your branding, and within 48 business hours you have a fully operational loyalty program running in your customers' Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.
You get all 7 card types, geo notifications, win-back reminders, birthday rewards, and RFM analytics — plus a Referral Program on Growth and Enterprise plans.

Best for busy owners who want the technology to work in the background.
Choose Loopy Loyalty if you want simple self-service
A well-designed tool for creating digital stamp cards in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, with the lowest entry price in this comparison.
You design, configure, and manage everything yourself.
Stamp and reward cards, with location-based messages included — but no referral engine, no win-back automation, and no done-for-you setup.
Best if budget is the deciding factor and a simple stamp card is all you need.
Choose Stamp Me if you want a tap device on the counter today
An established platform built around its own customer app and the StampPod, a physical tap device for busy counters, sold separately.

Stamp cards, with gamification extras and the highest entry price here at $49 a month.
Best for fast-moving checkouts where a tap beats a scan, if your customers do not mind an app.
Worth knowing: the Loyaltymaster Tap Device is on its way, so a tap on the counter will not stay a reason to choose them for long.

FAQ
Comparison Questions, Answered
Loyaltymaster vs the Alternatives
At entry level, yes: Loyaltymaster's DIY plan is $40 a month against Loopy Loyalty's $25. The difference is what you do not have to do. Loopy Loyalty is self-service, so you design the card and configure everything yourself. With Loyaltymaster we design, brand, and set the whole program up for you — the standard $500 setup fee is currently waived — and you also get all 7 card types, win-back reminders, and a referral engine on Growth and Enterprise plans. It is worth comparing the two starting offers on the same terms: a free trial of a self-service tool gives you fifteen days to build the program yourself, while your first month is just $1.00 here and the program arrives already built.
As of mid-2026, Stamp Me lists Apple Wallet and Google Wallet support as coming soon, and customers use the Stamp Me app instead. Loyaltymaster and Loopy Loyalty are both wallet-native today. With Loyaltymaster, your branded card goes straight into your customers' Apple or Google Wallet, and joining takes under a minute.
One is on its way. The Loyaltymaster Tap Device is an NFC pad your customer taps to collect a stamp, and it is built on the NXP NTAG 424 DNA chip: every tap generates a fresh, cryptographically signed message, so a tap cannot be cloned or replayed and nobody can copy one to award themselves free stamps. It will be optional — scanning a QR code from any smartphone stays the default, stays free, and needs no hardware at all. Unlike a wallet card, which is how your customers actually carry your program, a counter device is a convenience on top of a service that already works today.
No. We design, brand, and configure your loyalty program for you. Send us your branding details, and your program is live within 48 business hours — no dashboard learning curve and no technical configuration on your side.
Yes. If you have your own customer information from a former system, speak to us about what may be imported — any import depends on the file format, your customers' consent, and applicable privacy rules. Many businesses simply invite customers to re-join by scanning a QR code, which takes under a minute.
With Loyaltymaster, your customer data is yours — you keep it even if you leave. Check the cancellation policy of any platform you evaluate on exactly this point before you sign up.
