Fideliya and Loopy Loyalty both put a loyalty card into Apple Wallet and Google Wallet with nothing for the customer to download. Fideliya runs stamps, points, referrals and gift cards on one platform and starts free. Loopy Loyalty runs stamp cards, starts at $25 a month, and stops there.
What Loopy Loyalty does well
They picked stamp cards and committed to them. The card designer is clean, the Stamper app for iOS and Android does its job at the counter, and the platform has a seven-year track record across more than eighty countries. Cards go up to thirty stamps and support multi-reward tiers, so a customer can unlock one thing at five stamps and something else at fifteen. If a stamp card is genuinely the entire requirement and it will never be anything else, Loopy Loyalty is a competent way to run one.
Most loyalty programs start as a stamp card. Very few stay one.
The ceiling
Stamps are the whole product. There is no points system, no referral program and no gift cards, on any Loopy Loyalty plan at any price. Their own answer for a business that outgrows the stamp card is to move it onto PassKit, the heavier enterprise platform Loopy Loyalty is built on. That is a migration, not an upgrade.
Fideliya runs all four mechanics on one platform. A cafe opens with buy nine get one free, adds points when a forty-euro visit should count differently from a four-euro one, adds referrals when regulars start bringing friends, and sells gift cards in December. Same platform, same customer history, same QR codes on the counter, and not one customer asked to enroll again.
What the card looks like
Fideliya ships 24 designed pass themes, twelve of them on the free plan, each with its background, text, accent and label colors built as a set rather than assembled from a color picker. Your logo sits on every one, and cover images are available on Pro. The pass lands in a wallet next to boarding passes and bank cards, which is a demanding neighborhood, and it is built to look like it belongs there.
On Loopy Loyalty the card is your logo and a row of stamp icons. It is tidy and it does the job. It is also the same card every other Loopy Loyalty business is carrying, with a different logo on it.
What each plan actually costs
Loopy Loyalty has no free plan. A 15-day trial, then $25 a month for one card design and one location, $69 for three, $95 for ten.
Fideliya is free for 20 customers with stamps or points, wallet passes included, twelve pass themes and a campaign a month. Pro at €49.99 raises that to 1,000 customers, the remaining twelve themes, cover images, gift cards, the referral program, CSV export and four team seats. Enterprise at €99.99 removes the customer cap.
Loopy Loyalty is cheaper to enter, at $25 against €49.99. Fideliya is free to start and does four mechanics instead of one.
Who should choose which
Choose Loopy Loyalty if a stamp card is the whole requirement, you are certain it will stay that way, and the lowest possible entry price is the deciding constraint.
Choose Fideliya if the program is likely to grow past stamps into points, referrals or gift cards, if you want to start free and pay only once it is working, if the card should look like your business rather than a template, or if your customers read French, Spanish or Arabic. Both put a card in the wallet. One is a stamp card. The other is a loyalty platform that happens to do stamp cards beautifully.
