The short answer
Loopy Loyalty does one thing well: wallet stamp cards, with unlimited push messages, iOS lock-screen messages, geo-fencing, a stamper app, Zapier and Make, and a developer API. Plans run from $25/mo to $95/mo billed monthly ($250 to $950/yr billed annually), with unlimited customers.
Choose Loyal Aura if you want more than stamps: points, tier, membership, gift, coupon, cashback and discount cards, automatic Google review requests, WhatsApp, and SMS and email on higher plans. Loyalty starts at $15/mo. If a stamp card is all you need and you want Loopy's longer trial, Loopy is a good choice.
