Loyalzoo vs SpenVest

Loyalzoo gives independent and small to medium-sized businesses tools for digital loyalty, marketing, memberships, and subscriptions. Merchants can create points or stamp programs with discounts, coupons, or free items, then send manual or automated campaigns by SMS, email, and push notification. Subscription features handle recurring and one-time card-on-file payments, membership benefit tracking, and declined or expired cards. Customers can join with an email address or phone number without installing an app, or use a branded web app or Loyalzoo app. The service lists POS integrations including Clover, Epos Now, Aevi, Poynt, Square, Sunmi, and PAX; online rewards can be connected through Zapier. Merchants use a browser on PC or Mac or the Loyalzoo for Business apps on iOS and Android. Grow costs $77 a month and includes loyalty, basic marketing, subscriptions, and automated recurring payments. Smart costs $167 a month and adds targeted promotions, tiered loyalty, personalization, and 5000 messaging credits. SMS promotions and points notifications require credits; Grow and Smart each include 5000. A 7-day trial is available, with no free plan.

SpenVest connects eligible restaurant sales to digital rewards while letting businesses keep their existing POS. Its Rewards Engine supports points, stamps, store value credit, cashback, reward thresholds, campaigns, bonus rules, redemption authorisations and refund reversals. A merchant dashboard shows reward members, recent activity and redemption history. Square supports sales, refunds and product catalogue data; Shopify POS and Clover support sales and refunds. Merchants can also send authenticated sale and refund events through the API, with signed webhooks for connected workflows. Eligible products can use an online catalogue and checkout for click and collect or local delivery. Payments are processed by the merchant's connected payment provider and paid to a configured merchant-owned account; SpenVest says it does not hold sales revenue. The company says it is built for Australian independent businesses and that coverage of participating merchants is expanding across Australia. Its free Connect plan supports one location but does not calculate rewards. The Rewards Engine costs $39 a month, billed monthly per location and excluding GST. The listed platforms include Android, iOS, web and API.
