At $12/mo, Loyally costs a fraction of SpiniX's €79/mo, about a sixth of the price. If your business model is "give stamps, fill a card, earn a reward," Loyally does that with 100+ professionally designed templates. Design a loyalty card in 5 minutes, generate a QR code, share it. Simple and effective for stamp-based loyalty.
Loyally includes unlimited push notifications on all plans. Send time-limited offers, happy hour alerts, or seasonal promotions directly to customers' phones. SpiniX sends notifications via Wallet pass updates — effective but less flexible than dedicated push. For businesses that rely heavily on flash deals and real-time promotions, Loyally has an edge.
Loyally uses deterministic rewards: "collect 10 stamps, get 1 free." SpiniX uses variable ratio reinforcement: every scan produces a different reward. Research shows variable rewards produce 3x more dopamine than predictable ones. 73% of stamp-based loyalty members go inactive. SpiniX sees 40% of guests opt in to marketing, and wallet-pass holders come back 2.9x more often than guests without one.
Loyally doesn't include review generation. SpiniX integrates review prompting into the post-reward moment: guest spins, wins, feels positive, gets asked for a review. Top venues see 50-63% tap the review link (median venue 15%). At €79/month (loyalty + reviews in one price), SpiniX bundles what would otherwise mean Loyally plus a separate review tool.
Loyally has push notifications but no email marketing. SpiniX runs a 6-email automated sequence (welcome, reminders, review request, win-back) plus an AI-powered campaign builder for custom emails. Email remains the highest-ROI marketing channel at $36-42 returned per $1 spent.
No. Loyally focuses on digital loyalty cards and push notifications. For Google review generation, you need a separate tool. SpiniX includes review prompting at no extra cost, and top venues see 50-63% of guests tap the review link.
For basic digital loyalty cards with Wallet support and push notifications, yes. The $12/mo Essential plan includes unlimited cards and members. You'll miss email marketing, review generation, and gamification — which is where SpiniX differs.
Both support Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. Loyally generates Wallet-compatible loyalty cards. SpiniX generates Wallet passes with reward details, expiry dates, and push update capability. Functionally similar, different content on the pass.
Yes. SpiniX doesn't require data migration — you start fresh with a new QR code. Your existing customers scan the new code and join the spin wheel. Both platforms are month-to-month, so you can switch without penalty.
