## In three lines

Hey Pongo brings together loyalty, customer reviews, CRM and SMS campaigns, with the card in both wallets and a tablet at the counter. The price is not published: their page announces a rate indexed on performance and offers a quote. Kanz does one thing, publishes its three prices, and puts an agent to work on the customers who are drifting.

Every line in the table comes from a public page belonging to the vendor in question, with the link and the date it was checked directly underneath. When a vendor does not publish something, we write "not published" instead of inventing a figure. When their site says nothing either way, we write "not stated". If you spot a mistake, tell us and we will fix it.

## Why people look for an alternative to Hey Pongo

Three reasons, and the first one comes up in almost every conversation.

- The price is not published: you have to request a quote and book a meeting before you know what it costs.
- It is a suite. If you only want loyalty, you take the whole thing anyway.
- Loyalty runs on points against the amount spent, which is not always what you want to reward.

## Who wins, and when

### Pick Hey Pongo if

- You also want your online reviews and reputation, not only loyalty.
- You want it wired into your till and your payment terminal.
- You prefer a team alongside you and a negotiated contract to a self-serve price.
- You reward the amount spent rather than the number of visits.

### Pick Kanz if

- You want to see the price before you talk to anyone.
- You want to be running this evening, with no meeting.
- You want an agent that watches each customer's rhythm, not only campaigns you schedule.
- You want to reach people on WhatsApp or Telegram, not by SMS alone.

## Moving from one to the other

Nothing has to be cut at once: both can run together while you compare on your real customers.

1. Ask your contact for an export of your customers before you cancel anything.
2. Open a Kanz account and carry over the same reward.
3. Run the Kanz card on a single offer for a month, and see how many people come back.
4. Then decide: keep both for different jobs, or keep only one.

Kanz does not take in an existing customer file, and that is deliberate: each person signs up themselves from your QR or your link, and that gesture is what gives their consent to be contacted.

## What we get asked about this comparison

### Why is the {name} price not in the table?

Because it is not published. Their pricing page announces a rate indexed on performance and invites you to request a quote. We would rather write "not published" than copy a figure found elsewhere that cannot be verified.

### Does Kanz handle online reviews?

No. Kanz looks after loyalty and getting customers back, nothing else. If reviews are your priority, their suite is the better fit.

### Does Kanz connect to my till?

No, not today. Scanning is done from a phone, and API access is limited to the Kanz Max plan.
