Facts reviewed 15 July 2026
Two models for different buyers.

Where Reward Loyalty is stronger.
- Provides the application source and hosting choice.
- Supports many isolated businesses across several verticals.
- Offers a broader set of loyalty program types without adopting a hospitality suite.
Where Stampede is stronger.
- Connects loyalty to hospitality Wi-Fi, bookings, payments, CRM, and reviews.
- Supports Apple Wallet and Google Wallet cards without a venue app.
- Uses per-venue managed plans for independent sites and larger groups.
Choose Reward Loyalty if.
- The venue needs loyalty rather than a full guest-tech suite.
- Source ownership and multi-business operation matter.
- The operator can connect checkout and run infrastructure.
Choose Stampede if.
- Guest Wi-Fi, bookings, CRM, payments, reviews, and loyalty should share one profile.
- Managed Wallet cards should sit inside the hospitality suite.
- A managed per-venue subscription fits the group’s operating model.
Limits to account for.
- Reward Loyalty does not include Stampede’s guest Wi-Fi, table booking, hospitality CRM, payment, or review products. Its Apple Wallet passes are static, without changing balances or automatic in-Wallet updates.
- Stampede covers a wider hospitality stack and does not transfer product source ownership to the venue.
- Stampede publishes plan structure and some prices, but a fair cost panel needs venue count, modules, contact allowances, term, currency, and service scope.
