Product comparison
Reward Loyalty vs Loopy Loyalty.
Loopy Loyalty is a focused wallet-pass stamp-card service. Reward Loyalty is a wider, self-hosted loyalty system. The better choice depends on whether focus and managed delivery matter more than breadth and control.
Short answer
Two models for different buyers.
Choose Loopy Loyalty when Apple Wallet and Google Wallet stamp passes are the main requirement and you want the vendor to run the platform. Choose Reward Loyalty when you need several program types, isolated businesses, source access, and can operate the application yourself.

Choose Loopy Loyalty if.

Limits to account for.
- Reward Loyalty currently integrates with Google Wallet, not Apple Wallet.

- API availability does not make the two integration models equivalent; test the exact POS or commerce workflow before choosing.
