Stamp Me alternatives for digital loyalty programmes (2026)

Stamp Me is one of the most widespread digital stamp cards: available in more than fifty countries, fifteen years old, a member code in an app or in the Wallet, and several ways to stamp, from a staff scan to a tap-and-go device. If you are reading this, one of three things probably bothers you. The facts below come from the products' own websites, read in September 2026; prices move.

Why look for an alternative

A stamp rewards the visit, not the amount. A customer who takes an espresso and a customer who takes two coffees and a pastry get the same stamp. If your basket varies, you are rewarding your best customers badly.

Pricing is not public. Stamp Me's site offers a thirty-day trial but does not show its prices. Some businesses prefer to know before trying.

The programme is yours, and yours only. Every business recruits its members one by one. There is no existing community to plug into.

Badger

Badger is a points-based loyalty programme for cafés, restaurants, takeaways and shops in French-speaking Switzerland. Points are credited on the amount paid, by scan or straight from a Lightspeed till; you set the rewards and their thresholds. Badger automatically asks returning customers for a Google review, tells your customers when a reward is close, and shows your posts to customers located around you. What sets it apart from Stamp Me: points rather than stamps, and a network of 250 businesses whose customers already have the app.

Choose it if you are in French-speaking Switzerland and want to reward the amount, not only the visit.

Loopy Loyalty

Loopy Loyalty keeps the stamp logic but removes the app on the customer side: the card is a pass in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and staff stamp with a dedicated app. Analytics, multiple locations, automated messages. Pricing is not shown on the homepage; fifteen-day trial.

Choose it if you want minimum friction on the customer side and stamps suit you.

FaveCard

FaveCard is a digital stamp card with a free plan and no limits, plus paid plans (listed between 25 and 49 dollars a month) that add the Wallet pass, a kiosk mode, Google review requests and automations.

Choose it if you want to start free and pay only when you need more.

Square Loyalty

If your POS is Square, its built-in programme is the simplest alternative: the customer gives their phone number when paying, collects points per visit, per amount or per item, and receives automatic texts. Pricing is not shown on the product page. Without a Square POS, it is not an option.

LoyaltyPass

LoyaltyPass is a different category: a programme built to order for a brand, in the Wallet and optionally in an app under your name, connected to your existing systems. The site lists solutions from 9,500 dollars, one-off. It is an alternative for a multi-site brand, not for a shop.

How to decide

If stamps suit you and you only want less friction or a known price, look at Loopy Loyalty and FaveCard. If you want to reward the amount spent, Google reviews without asking, and customers who already have the app, look at Badger. If your POS is Square, start with what it offers.
