The short version
BonusQR is a solid digital loyalty platform with stamps, points, cashback, and visit rewards. Free plan available. Paid plans from €19/mo. Supports 8 languages. White-label app option (€690). Best for businesses that want a straightforward digital stamp card with Wallet integration.
SpiniX replaces the stamp mechanic with a spin wheel game. Every scan is a new reward. Variable ratio reinforcement instead of deterministic progression. Built-in review generation (33% conversion) and automated email sequence. €29/mo. Best for hospitality businesses that want higher engagement and Google reviews.
Being honest upfront
BonusQR has a free plan. SpiniX does not. If budget is your only constraint and you need basic loyalty, BonusQR's free tier gets you started. This comparison focuses on what happens when you need more than basic - which is where the platforms diverge significantly.

BonusQR wins 7 categories. SpiniX wins 7. Five ties. The closest match in the category.
The psychology difference
This is where the platforms fundamentally diverge.
BonusQR: deterministic rewards
Guest knows exactly what they get and when: "10 stamps = 1 free coffee"
Predictable. Safe. Familiar. The digital version of a paper punch card.
Problem: 73% of loyalty members become inactive before reaching their first reward.
The "goal gradient effect" means motivation peaks near the finish line but drops in the middle. Most guests quit between stamp 3 and 7.
Average completion rate for stamp cards: 20-30%.
SpiniX: variable ratio reinforcement
Guest doesn't know what they'll win until they spin. Could be 10% off, free coffee, or free dessert.
Variable rewards produce 3x more dopamine than predictable ones (same neuroscience behind slot machines).
Every visit is rewarding - no "dead stamps" where the guest gets nothing useful.
No dropout problem because there's no distant goal to abandon.
SpiniX enrollment rate: 46%. Return within 14 days: 21%.
Pricing comparison
White-label app: €690 one-time + €69/mo. Custom app: €1,690 one-time + €69/mo.
Wallet passes: $0.15 per install. No setup fees.
| Cost analysis over 12 months | BonusQR | SpiniX | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smallest budget possible | €0 (free plan) | €348 (€29 × 12) | BonusQR wins on price alone. |
| Basic paid plan | €228 (€19 × 12) | €348 (€29 × 12) | BonusQR is €120/year cheaper. |
| Pro features + review tool | €828 (€69 × 12) + ~€600 review tool | €348 (€29 × 12, reviews included) | SpiniX saves ~€1,080/year. |
| White-label app | €690 + €828 (€69 × 12) = €1,518 | Not available | Only BonusQR offers this. |
The cost equation flips when you factor in review generation. A separate review tool costs €50-200/month. SpiniX includes it at €29/month total.
Where each platform wins
Which should you choose?
Free plan works. Start there, upgrade later if needed.
That's exactly what stamp cards do. BonusQR does it well.
Gamification drives more engagement. Review generation pays for the subscription.
SpiniX doesn't offer white-label. BonusQR does (€690+).
Native language support. SpiniX only covers EN, HU, DE.
€29/mo includes both. BonusQR + separate review tool = €69-269/mo.
Stamp cards don't work for guests who visit once. Instant spin rewards do.
WhatsApp integration with 98% open rates. BonusQR doesn't offer WhatsApp.
