Loyverse vs FaveCard (2026): Points at the Till or a Card in Apple Wallet

Who each is best for

Loyverse is a free till app from London for phones and tablets, made for cafés, shops, salons, car washes and many other businesses. Its loyalty program is part of the till: when staff add a customer to a sale, the customer earns points, and the points come off a later bill. If you already sell through Loyverse and are happy with money-off points, its own program costs nothing and needs no extra step at the counter.

FaveCard is a digital stamp card, not a till. It suits a business that wants customers to sign up on their own phone, keep the card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and see their stamps any time, and hear from you on their lock screen. It works for any local business, from a coffee shop or bakery to a hair salon, a barber or a car wash, and next to any till, Loyverse included.

How much does Loyverse cost compared with FaveCard?

Loyverse's loyalty program is free. Its US pricing page lists the till, sales analytics for the last 31 days, essential inventory, the loyalty program, the customer display, the kitchen display, several stores and integrations as free, with no payment details needed to start. The paid add-ons are for running the till: unlimited sales history at $7 a month per store ($70 a year), and employee management and advanced inventory at $25 a month per store each, before tax, with a 14-day free trial. The same page's FAQ gives $5 a month for sales history. Loyverse sets these prices by the visitor's country, not by the page: its pricing page shows UK visitors £5 a month per store for sales history and £20 a month per store each for employee management and advanced inventory, and visitors from Spain €5 a month per store for sales history, €5 a month per employee for employee management and €25 a month per store for advanced inventory, all before tax. In the US, card payments through Loyverse cost 1.99% + 15¢ for debit and 2.49% + 15¢ for credit cards (checked on 8 November 2026).

FaveCard has a free plan with no time limit, no credit card and no cap on customers: one stamp card, a card that opens in your customers' phone browser, and stamping with the FaveCard app. The Pro plan adds Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes and your own logo and banner; the Business plan adds offers sent to their lock screen through the Wallet card, a birthday reward sent for you, Google review requests, a tablet at the counter where customers stamp their own card, your customer list as a CSV download and logins for your staff. Paid plans run monthly or yearly, and you can cancel any time; current amounts are on our pricing page.

Points or stamps?

Loyverse gives points. Its help article says the default is 1 point for every 100 spent, a 1% reward, and 1 point is worth one unit of money off; the owner can change the percentage. At the till the cashier taps “Redeem points” and takes off all or part of the balance. Points work on every device and in every store of the account, and the owner can set a customer's balance by hand. We found no points expiry, no stamps or free-item rewards, no tiers and no birthday reward in Loyverse itself; apps in its marketplace add tiers or birthday rewards.

FaveCard gives stamps. You choose how many stamps the card has and the rewards along the way, each in your own words: a free coffee at 8 stamps, a free haircut at 10. A stamp counts a visit, whatever the bill, which is easy for customers to follow on their card.

How customers join and collect

With Loyverse, staff register the customer in the till, during a sale or in the Back Office; only a name is required, with phone, e-mail and notes optional. Next time staff find the customer by name, phone or e-mail, or scan a barcode card whose code they first typed or scanned into the customer's profile. Loyverse does not say it prints or sells cards. We found no way for customers to sign themselves up, by QR code or a web form.

With FaveCard, the customer scans your QR code, enters at least an e-mail and first name, and adds the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet (Pro plan and up) or opens it in the browser. Staff give stamps by scanning the card's QR code with the FaveCard app on any phone; on the Business plan a phone or tablet on the counter lets customers stamp their own card. If a customer changes phone, they open your page, enter their e-mail and a one-time code, and get their card back.

Where customers see their points or stamps

Loyverse shows the balance on printed or e-mailed receipts, and on its free Customer Display app, a second screen at the till that shows the customer's name and points during the sale. We found no Apple Wallet or Google Wallet card, customer app or web page from Loyverse itself. Three apps in the Loyverse marketplace add a Wallet card, each with its own account and price:

• Passquare: Wallet cards synced with Loyverse points. Listed “From 1€ / 30 days”; its pricing page shows that is pay as you go, plus 1 € per card and 0.10 € per push message, with plans from 79 € per 30 days.
• BrandWallet: a points card in Wallet; its Loyverse listing offers “Digital Point Offers (Earn or burn points)”, on a Loyverse plan at $40 a month.
• Perkstar: a Wallet card with points from Loyverse sales. Its Loyverse listing says Growth and Scale plans, “from £30/month”; its own pricing page puts POS integrations on Scale only, at £65 a month. It asks you to set Loyverse's own points to 0% and keeps the balances itself.

A FaveCard card shows the stamps whenever the customer opens it, in Apple Wallet, Google Wallet or the browser.

Reaching your customers

Loyverse keeps a customer list with visits and amount spent, and lets you export it; we found no SMS, e-mail or push messages built in. Its marketplace connects Mailchimp and Constant Contact (SyncApps, $49.99 a month), and other apps add WhatsApp receipts and review requests. FaveCard's Business plan sends offers to the customer's lock screen through the Wallet card, a reward on their birthday, and a Google review request after a reward, on their card and by e-mail to customers who agreed to e-mails. FaveCard sends no SMS or e-mail campaigns.

When to choose Loyverse instead

• You want loyalty on the sale itself. Points are added by the till when the customer is on the ticket, so staff use no second app. FaveCard does not connect to Loyverse or any other till.
• You want the reward to grow with the bill. Points are a share of what the customer spends, and they can spend part of them. A FaveCard stamp counts a visit.
• You have several stores. Loyverse runs them from one account for free, with one customer list and points across all stores. For several locations with FaveCard, write to us at hello@favecard.co and we'll help you set it up.
• You are moving from another program. Loyverse imports customers with their point balances from a CSV file. FaveCard cannot import customers or stamps today.
• You want one free system for the whole counter. Loyverse also does sales, inventory, receipts and a kitchen display, works offline, has a public API, card payments in the US and 24/7 live chat.

Running FaveCard next to Loyverse

You can keep Loyverse as your till and use FaveCard for the card: ring up the sale in Loyverse, then scan the customer's FaveCard card with the FaveCard app, or let them stamp their own card at a counter tablet on the Business plan. To avoid two programs at once, set Loyverse's points to 0% or tell customers clearly which one they are collecting in, and honour the points people already have until they are used.

Languages

FaveCard's business page, where customers join, runs in 30 languages; its dashboard, staff app and the e-mails it sends you, the owner, run in 19. Loyverse's own pages differ: its homepage says “30+ languages available”, its About page “25+ languages”, and its App Store listing English plus 49 more.

How we compared

How we verified this: We make FaveCard. Every Loyverse fact comes from Loyverse's own pages, checked on 7 November 2026: its homepage, the US and global pricing pages, loyalty program, Customer Display and marketplace pages, its help centre, its API reference, its privacy policy and terms (Loyverse Commerce Ltd, London), and its App Store and Google Play listings; plus the Loyverse marketplace pages and own pricing pages of Passquare, BrandWallet and Perkstar. On 8 November 2026 we re-read the pricing pages for the US, the UK and Spain, Perkstar's pricing page and the BrandWallet and Perkstar marketplace listings. Loyverse's US pricing page gives two prices for unlimited sales history ($7 on the price card, $5 in its FAQ); we quote both. FaveCard's plans were checked against our product on the same day. FaveCard's business numbers come from our own records (FaveCard in numbers): 2,000+ counts the businesses that gave stamps to at least two different customers in the last 30 days (22 September – 21 October 2026), and 80+ the countries where those businesses are based (the country in each business's FaveCard profile; countries, not territories). As of October 2026. We did not sign up for Loyverse or any marketplace app; where their public pages say nothing, we say “not found”. Prices and plans change: check each source before relying on it, and if you see an error, tell us through our contact page and we will correct it. Loyverse, Passquare, BrandWallet, Perkstar, Mailchimp and Constant Contact are trademarks of their owners; FaveCard is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by any of them.
