Product comparison
Reward Loyalty vs Stamp Me.
Stamp Me keeps digital stamp cards managed and focused. Reward Loyalty asks you to run the software, then gives you a wider loyalty platform and control of the installation.
Short answer
Two models for different buyers.
Choose Stamp Me when a managed digital stamp card and its member app are the whole brief. Choose Reward Loyalty when you need points, vouchers, tiers, referrals, multiple businesses, or source-level control and can operate a Laravel application.
Self-hosted
Reward Loyalty
Self-hosted loyalty software with points, stamps, vouchers, passes, tiers, referrals, campaigns, and a shared wallet for many businesses.

Competitor model
Stamp Me
A hosted digital stamp-card service with a member app, merchant console, several stamping methods, and higher-plan engagement tools.

Where Reward Loyalty is stronger.
- Combines stamps with points, tiers, vouchers, prepaid passes, achievements, referrals, and campaigns.
- Runs many isolated businesses from one installation without a per-business software subscription.
- Provides the application source and keeps customer data on infrastructure you choose.
Where Stamp Me is stronger.
- Keeps the product centred on a familiar digital stamp-card experience.
- Removes server setup, updates, and infrastructure monitoring from the merchant.
- Offers purpose-built stamping hardware and app-based push tools that Reward Loyalty does not bundle.
Choose Reward Loyalty if.
- Your roadmap extends beyond stamps.
- You manage several businesses or client programs from one platform.
- You can own the hosting, security, email delivery, backups, and updates.
Choose Stamp Me if.
- One managed stamp program is enough.
- You want customers to use the Stamp Me app and value its stamping hardware options.
- You prefer a subscription that includes vendor-operated infrastructure.
Limits to account for.
- Reward Loyalty is not a managed service: installation, mail, backups, monitoring, security, and updates remain your responsibility.
- Stamp Me plan details and promotional pricing can change; confirm the plan and currency for your location before buying.
- The two products use different customer surfaces, so test the web-wallet or app experience with actual staff and customers before deciding.

Questions buyers ask
Common questions.
Is Stamp Me cheaper than Reward Loyalty?
It depends on the period and the work you include. Stamp Me starts with a monthly managed plan. Reward Loyalty has a one-time software license plus hosting and operator time. The 24-month illustration above is a transparent scenario, not a universal result.
Do both products support digital stamp cards?
Yes. Stamp cards are Stamp Me’s central offer. Reward Loyalty includes stamp cards alongside several other loyalty mechanisms.
Does Reward Loyalty replace the Stamp Me app?
No. Reward Loyalty provides a responsive customer web wallet and optional Google Wallet passes. It does not provide the Stamp Me member app or Stamp Me’s proprietary stamping hardware.
