Both use QR codes. Both work without a POS. The core difference: Flex Rewards digitizes the stamp card mechanic with multi-card programs. SpiniX replaces stamps with a gamified spin wheel that includes review generation and email automation.
SpiniX replaces stamp mechanics with a spin wheel game. Every QR scan triggers a random reward. Built-in Google review link prompting (top venues see 50 to 63% of guests tap the link), automated 6-email sequence, Apple/Google Wallet passes, and AI campaign builder. $79/mo. Best for hospitality businesses wanting gamified engagement plus automated marketing.
Flex Rewards is a digital stamp card platform at $36/mo with all features included. Stamp cards (1-100 stamps), prepaid cards, membership cards, digital passports. QR enrollment, push + email notifications, unlimited members. Multi-location support ($14.50/extra venue). Free until 50th customer. Best for businesses wanting multiple card types with simple stamp mechanics.
Verdict: Flex Rewards offers more card types (stamps, prepaid, membership, passports) for less money. SpiniX costs more but offers higher engagement through gamification, plus review link prompts and email automation that Flex Rewards lacks.

Flex Rewards supports stamp cards (1-100 stamps), prepaid cards, membership cards, and digital passports — all on one platform. You can run a coffee stamp card alongside a VIP membership program. SpiniX offers one mechanic: the spin wheel. If you need different loyalty programs for different customer segments, Flex Rewards has more variety.
Flex Rewards is genuinely free until your 50th customer signs up. No credit card, no time limit. For a new business testing whether digital loyalty works, this is risk-free validation. SpiniX offers a promotional first month but charges from the start.
Flex Rewards uses deterministic stamps: "collect X stamps, get Y reward." SpiniX uses variable ratio reinforcement: every scan produces a different, unknown reward. Variable rewards produce 3x more dopamine than predictable ones. 73% of stamp-based loyalty members go inactive before completing their card. SpiniX sees 40% of guests opt in to marketing, and wallet-pass holders come back 2.9x more often than guests without a pass.
Flex Rewards doesn't include review management. SpiniX builds review prompting into the post-reward moment: guest spins, wins, gets asked for a review at peak positive emotion. Top venues see 50 to 63% of guests tap the review link (median venue 15%). A standalone review tool costs $50-200/month. SpiniX includes it at $79/month total.
Flex Rewards doesn't mention Apple or Google Wallet integration — rewards live in-app or browser. SpiniX generates native Wallet passes that stay on the customer's phone with push notification capability. Wallet passes have no "download an app" friction and persist even after browser tabs close.
Based on available information, Flex Rewards doesn't mention Apple or Google Wallet integration. Rewards are managed through their app or browser interface. SpiniX generates native Wallet passes that stay on the customer's phone permanently.
No. Flex Rewards focuses on stamp cards, memberships, and digital loyalty programs. For Google review generation, you'd need a separate tool. SpiniX includes review link prompting as a core feature, with top venues seeing 50 to 63% of guests tap the link.
Yes. Flex Rewards doesn't charge until your 50th customer signs up. Charities and non-profits may qualify for permanent free or discounted access. After the 50th customer, the $36/mo subscription starts.
Depends on what matters more. For "buy 9, get 10th free" stamp card: Flex Rewards. For gamified engagement that produces Google reviews and builds an email list: SpiniX. Some cafes run both — stamp card for regulars, spin wheel for new guests.
