Looking for a Fivestars Alternative?
Fivestars - now part of SumUp as SumUp Connect - helped popularize local-business loyalty, but many small businesses want something simpler: no customer app, no complex dashboard, loyalty that lives in the wallet customers already use. This page is for teams comparing the options.
Common reasons we hear from businesses switching: customers not wanting another app on their phone, per-month costs feeling heavy for a single location, and marketing features going unused while the core need - repeat visits - stays the same.
- Want simplicity over marketing suites
- Avoiding customer-app friction
- Looking for a free tier to start
StampCard focuses on one job: digital stamp cards customers save to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet by scanning a QR code. Staff stamp with any phone. Progress is visible, notifications are automatic, and the free Starter plan covers your first 100 customers.
Whatever platform you choose, evaluate on these criteria.
- Customer enrollment friction (app download vs QR scan)
- Where the card lives (app on page 3 of a folder vs the phone wallet)
- Re-engagement cost (SMS credits vs free wallet notifications)
- Total monthly cost at your customer count
- Time to launch and train staff
