Alternative
Alternative to Loopy Loyalty
Loopy Loyalty does the stamp card very well. The question is what happens when a regular stops coming.
Comparison verified on 31 July 2026
In three lines
Loopy Loyalty issues the card on Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, with data export on every plan and up to ten addresses. Messages go out as wallet notifications, to segments you build by hand. Kanz starts lower and adds an agent that spots absences and writes on WhatsApp, Telegram or email, but it keeps multi-location for its top plan. Export is on every plan on both sides.
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 Loopy Loyalty
Three limits, all readable in their documentation or their price list.
- The channel is the wallet notification. It only reaches people who kept the card and left notifications on.
- Segments are built by hand, on stamp counts. Nobody tells you a Thursday regular has vanished.
- The first plan is limited to one address and one card design.

Who wins, and when
Both columns are the same size because both cases are real. If nothing on the left speaks to you, the answer is on the right, and the reverse is just as true.
Pick Loopy Loyalty if
- You have or will have several addresses: three locations on their middle plan, ten on the top one, well before what that costs here.
- You want several card designs, one per season or per offer for instance.
- You want loyalty wired into the other tools you already run.
Pick Kanz if
- You want somebody to notice an absence for you, without building a segment.
- You want to reach people where they reply, not only on the lock screen.
- You want a referral that rewards both sides and only counts once the new customer has actually come in.
- You work in Arabic and want an interface that reads right to left.
Moving from one to the other
Both cards can live side by side while the regulars move over.
- Export your customers from {name} while your subscription is still active: it is included on all their plans.
- Create the Kanz card with the same reward, so nobody loses sight of what they collected.
- Put the Kanz QR next to the old one for two to three weeks.
- Once most people have rescanned, take the old QR down.
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
- Can I import my customers into Kanz?
- No, and that is deliberate. Each customer signs up themselves from your QR or your link, and that gesture is what gives their consent to be contacted. An imported file does not carry that consent.
- {name} costs more, so why hesitate?
- Because price is not the only line. If you need three addresses without moving to the top plan, their list is more generous than ours on that specific point, and it is written in the table.
- Is the wallet notification not enough?
- It is perfect for a gentle reminder, and it is free here too. It is not enough to win back somebody who has not been in for three weeks: that needs a message that actually arrives.
