The closest comparison in this category. Both are QR-based, both work without a POS, both support Apple and Google Wallet. The difference is the core mechanic: BonusQR digitizes the stamp card. SpiniX gamifies the entire experience.
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 link prompts (top venues see 50 to 63% tap through) and automated email sequence. $79/mo. Best for hospitality businesses that want higher engagement and Google reviews.
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.
Verdict: If you want the cheapest possible loyalty (BonusQR free plan) or a traditional stamp/points system, BonusQR is a good choice. If you want gamification that produces higher engagement plus built-in review generation, SpiniX is worth the price difference.

BonusQR offers 7-11 different loyalty mechanics: stamps, points, cashback, visit rewards, discount tiers, onboarding coupons, special occasion coupons, competitions, and referrals. You can mix and match. SpiniX offers one mechanic: the spin wheel. If you specifically want a "buy 9, get 10th free" stamp card, BonusQR does that natively. SpiniX doesn't.
BonusQR's free plan is genuinely useful for testing. No credit card, no time limit. BonusQR's paid plan costs less per year than SpiniX. For a single cafe with tight margins, that gap matters. Be aware: the free plan lacks push notifications, email marketing, and advanced features. Most businesses outgrow it within 2-3 months.
BonusQR supports 8 languages vs SpiniX's 3. If you operate in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Italy, or Spain, BonusQR has native language support. Plus the white-label app option (€690) lets you publish under your own brand in app stores. SpiniX doesn't offer white-label.
This is the core difference. BonusQR's stamp card says "come back 10 times, get something." SpiniX's spin wheel says "come back now, win something." Variable ratio reinforcement (the spin) produces measurably higher engagement than deterministic progression (the stamp). 73% of stamp-based loyalty members go inactive. SpiniX's gamified approach gets 40% of guests to opt in to marketing, and wallet-pass holders come back 2.9x more often.
BonusQR can redirect guests to Google Reviews, but it's a basic link. SpiniX integrates review prompting into the post-reward flow: guest wins, feels good, gets asked to tap the review link. Top venues see 50 to 63% tap through. This timing is everything - asking during peak positive emotion dramatically increases click-through. To get equivalent review performance with BonusQR, you'd need a separate review management tool.
BonusQR offers email and push on paid plans, but you create and send campaigns manually. SpiniX runs a 6-email automated sequence: welcome + reward delivery (day 0), expiry reminder (day 11), review request (day 1-2 after visit), return nudge (day 21-30), birthday, and win-back (day 60-90). Set up once, runs forever.
Yes. BonusQR offers a genuine free-forever plan with basic loyalty features. You get stamps, cashback, visit rewards, and Wallet integration. What you don't get: push notifications, email marketing, competitions, special occasion coupons, and referral program. For a single small business testing loyalty, the free plan is a legitimate starting point.
Not directly. SpiniX uses a spin wheel, not stamps. You can set prizes that include "free coffee" or "free dessert" at different probability levels, but there's no "collect 10, get 1 free" mechanic. If that specific structure matters to your business, BonusQR is the better fit.
Gamification research consistently shows variable rewards outperform deterministic ones. SpiniX data shows wallet-pass holders come back 2.9x more often than guests without a pass. BonusQR doesn't publish equivalent metrics. Stamp card industry benchmarks show 12-18% completion rates, though completion and return rate aren't directly comparable.
Yes. Some businesses use BonusQR for their stamp card (regulars who want predictable rewards) and SpiniX for gamified engagement and review generation (first-time guests). Two QR codes, two different experiences. It's more complex to manage but captures both psychology types.
SpiniX. BonusQR can link to Google Reviews, but SpiniX integrates the review prompt into the reward moment. Timing matters enormously - asking when the guest just won something produces a 50 to 63% tap rate at top venues, vs a typical 5-10% from cold review requests.
