A loyalty program can involve more than rewards: member access, referrals and ongoing communication may all be part of its structure. The ranked entries begin with LoyaltyLion, Smile.io and Yotpo Loyalty. Compare tiered rewards and referral programs with lifecycle automation, and check member limits if you have a particular program size in mind. API access, a customer portal and white-label branding add further dimensions for assessing how the software fits your business. Free plans and paid starting prices offer cost context as you weigh these options against the kind of customer program you want to operate.
42 loyalty program software ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
