Best Loyalty Apps for Small Businesses (2026)

By Alva Chew · Updated 2026-11-02

In short The best loyalty app for a small business is the one whose price stays clear when you add a second outlet and whose reward rule a customer can repeat back to you. On vendor pages checked 2 November 2026, FaveCard, 7Stamp and Loyverse list free plans, Eber starts at US$69 a month billed yearly, and Stamp Me starts at US$49 for a single location. Gimify is points only, free for one outlet and US$99 a month for unlimited outlets.

Which loyalty apps can a small business choose from?

Six options come up often when an owner compares: FaveCard, 7Stamp, Loyverse, Eber, Stamp Me and Gimify. We opened each vendor’s own pricing page on 2 November 2026 and recorded what it says. Where a page did not load or did not state a price, we left that vendor out, so this is a shortlist and not every product on the market. Prices change, so read the vendor’s page before you sign up.

Software is one cost. The rewards you give away are the larger one, so set your earn rate before you compare subscriptions. For a full cost breakdown see how much a loyalty program costs.

Which apps are free, and what do the free plans leave out?

FaveCard, 7Stamp and Loyverse each list a free plan, and Gimify does too. The limits differ. FaveCard’s page says one loyalty card at a time on Free and Pro. 7Stamp caps the free plan at 25 card operations a month and one staff login, and it says no extra usage is allowed, so a busy counter can reach the cap quickly. Loyverse lists loyalty as free, though it is built around its point-of-sale system. Our free-app guide compares what each free plan includes.

Which app is cheapest at one outlet and at several?

At one outlet the free plans cost nothing. A paid plan starts at US$39 a month for FaveCard Pro and US$49 for Stamp Me Lite. At several outlets the pricing models split:

7Stamp charges per staff login, so the bill grows with the number of people who use the system.
Loyverse lists its add-ons per store, though its loyalty program is listed as free.
Stamp Me’s page says single location on all plans, so ask what a second outlet costs.
Eber’s page shows plan tiers and no per-location fee.
Gimify charges US$99 a month for unlimited outlets.

Ask each vendor for the price at two outlets and at five, and for the staff headcount you expect. Our guide to loyalty software with no per-location fees shows how to run that comparison.

How many reward rules will you have to run?

Some products add reward types such as stamps, tiers or vouchers. Stamp Me’s name and page describe stamp card programs, and a stamp program means customers must learn how many stamps a reward needs, which items count and when a card expires. More features give you more to choose from, and each one is a rule your staff must explain.

A points program has one rule: spend, earn, redeem. A café that sells mostly coffee can still use it by giving each drink a fixed number of points. The research behind that view is in our case for points-only loyalty. When you test any app, count the settings you need to configure before the first customer joins.

Run the same checks on every app on your shortlist:

What does a customer do on the first visit, and do they need to download anything?
What do staff need at the till? A phone they already own is the easiest answer.
What do you pay at two outlets and at five, and in which currency?
Is there a cap on members, card operations, programs or staff logins that you would reach?
Can you export your member list if you leave?

Most vendors above offer a free plan, so you can run a week at your own counter with real customers before you pay. If you operate in Southeast Asia, we also compare local options in the Singapore guide.

Where Gimify fits

Gimify is a points-only program. Customers scan a QR code and enter their email, the card lives in Google Wallet, and staff add or redeem points on any phone. It is free for one outlet with no time limit, and a multi-outlet business pays US$99 a month for one points balance across all outlets. Start free.

Questions owners ask

What is the best loyalty app for a small business?

It depends on your outlet count and how much you want to configure. Compare the price at your real number of outlets, what a customer does on the first visit, and how many reward rules you must set up. A points program has one rule, so it is the easiest to explain at the counter.

Is there a free loyalty app for a small business?

Yes, several. On their own pages on 2 November 2026, FaveCard lists a Free plan, 7Stamp lists Free Forever with 25 card operations a month, and Loyverse lists its loyalty program as free. Gimify is free for one outlet with unlimited members and no time limit.

Do customers have to download an app to join?

Not with every product. With Gimify, customers scan a QR code and enter their email, and the card lives in Google Wallet. Ask each vendor what a customer does on the first visit before you commit.

What happens to the price when I open a second location?

It depends on the vendor. Stamp Me's page says single location on all plans, 7Stamp bills per staff login, and Loyverse lists add-ons per store. Ask for the price at two and at five outlets. Gimify costs US$99 a month for unlimited outlets.

Should I choose a stamp, tier or points app?

Points. Spend, earn and redeem is a rule every customer already understands, while stamps, tiers and games add rules to learn. Our case for points-only loyalty sets out the research.
