Shared consumer app
Stamp Me has a consumer-facing mobile app where users discover new businesses. This creates cross-promotion network effects that a self-hosted platform cannot replicate.
Apple and Google Wallet integration
Stamp Me supports native Wallet passes. Customers add their card to their phone's Wallet app. Reward Loyalty uses a PWA approach instead.
12 years of trust
Stamp Me launched in 2012. They have named enterprise case studies and a proven track record. Reward Loyalty launched in 2023.

Full source code
Modify anything. Add custom features. Integrate with your existing systems. Stamp Me is a closed platform. You get what they give you.
Your server, your data
Customer data never leaves your infrastructure. GDPR compliance is straightforward because you are the data controller and processor. No third-party data sharing.
Multi-tenant for agencies
Extended license: one installation, unlimited businesses. Agencies charge clients $50–200/month and keep 100% of the revenue. Stamp Me is single-tenant only.
The verdict.
Choose Stamp Me if you need a consumer-facing mobile app with native Wallet passes and don't mind paying $49/month indefinitely. Their app ecosystem creates discovery that a self-hosted platform cannot match.
Choose Reward Loyalty if you want to own the software, control your data, avoid monthly fees, or run loyalty programs for multiple businesses from one installation. The $69 one-time cost pays for itself before month 2 of any Stamp Me subscription.
