Kangaroo Rewards vs The Stampit

Kangaroo Rewards is a paid loyalty and customer-engagement platform for businesses, available on Android, iOS, web, and through an API. Businesses can award points for purchases, visits, or other actions, then let customers exchange points for products, services, or partner rewards. Membership tiers can use spending, visit frequency, or engagement criteria and attach tier-specific benefits. Marketing tools include automated email and SMS campaigns, templates, segmentation, and real-time tracking. Kangaroo describes an experience spanning in-store POS, e-commerce, and mobile apps, with integrations such as Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, Lightspeed, Heartland, Mailchimp, and Mindbody. Its API supports bidirectional real-time synchronization with business systems. Branded mobile apps can include rewards, notifications, QR scanning, referrals, bookings, and geofencing. Plans start at $79 a month; there is no free plan.

The Stampit is a digital loyalty-card service for cafés, restaurants, and pubs. Customers collect stamps with a tap in the app instead of carrying paper cards, while businesses operate the program through a secure dashboard in any modern browser. Merchants can create Magic Codes for online and takeaway orders, including batches of unique codes sent physically or digitally. Campaigns can target customer groups by behaviour, use custom rewards, and schedule offers. Insights reports stamps issued, repeat-visit frequency, reward redemptions, and customer engagement in real time. Customers can pre-pay for treats, redeem vouchers in-store, or gift them by phone number. The maker says no complex technology or integrations are required, and rewards can be validated without Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Android, iOS, and web access are supported. Basic costs £24.99 per month, Growth £34.99 per month, and Advanced £54.99 per month; each plan covers one location.
