A price you can put in a table
You cannot put Pongo in a table: its site gives no figure. Ours is there: $29 before tax a month, £19 in the UK, €20 in Europe, with no setup fee and an unlimited team on every plan.
StampyWallet or Pongo, the price on the page or in a meeting
Published · Updated
Pongo, formerly Hey Pongo, sells a loyalty and marketing platform to restaurants and food shops. Its pricing only comes through a demo, and its old pricing page now leads to the demo request. StampyWallet publishes its price and lets you start on your own, today.
Who is StampyWallet right for, instead of Pongo?
StampyWallet is for the neighborhood shop that wants to see the price before talking to anyone: a café, a bakery, a nail technician, a beauty salon, a tattoo studio. As of October 2026, Pongo publishes no prices and sells through a demo; we print ours ($29 before tax, £19, €20) and hand you 30 free days with an unlimited team. Open the account, print the sign, and the first stamp can land the same afternoon.

From paper to Wallet
The same stamp card, except it no longer gets lost
On the left, the paper card that ends up at the bottom of a bag. On the right, the same card designed by StampyWallet and saved in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet: it gets stamped with a scan and updates itself.
No app to downloadCustomers scan a QR code or the link in your bio: the card goes into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, or opens as a web card.
Stamps, tiers, points, two countersOne reward or several on the same card, plus a second row for a separate range (beard trims, matcha).
Per visit or by amount spentOne stamp a visit, one stamp per $10 or 1 point per dollar: you set the rule.

Why StampyWallet rather than Pongo
A month's trial rather than a demo
A demo shows the product from its best angle, chosen by the seller. A month's trial shows yours: your customers, your reward, your Saturday rush. Pongo advertises a free demo but no trial; we skip the demo and hand you the month, no commitment, no call first.
The essentials first, the rest when it helps
Scan, stamp, and the card in their wallet updates. Everything else, segments, win-back, birthdays, gift cards, is there when you need it, on Growth at $49 a month (£35, €40), and invisible until you do.
On the lock screen
The right message, to the right customer, at the right time
A Wallet notification shows up on the lock screen, free and unmetered. Four messages you send with StampyWallet, from sample shops:
- 1Message to one customerEssential
- 2Recurring message, every TuesdayGrowth
- 3Win-back at each customer's own rhythmGrowth
- 4Pre-ordersGrowth
One customer, or all of them"Your order is ready" from the customer page or the scanner, from Essential; or one notification to everyone, or to a group that builds itself.
Scheduled and recurringEvery week, every month, the first Monday: written once, sent at your shop's local time, closed days skipped.
At each customer's rhythmThe win-back goes out when a customer passes their own usual gap between visits, counted in opening days.

The control-group report
One customer in ten doesn't get your messages. That customer is the proof the others came back because of them.
On Growth, StampyWallet sets aside one customer in ten at random and compares their return visits with those of the customers who got the win-back, the birthday or the notification. The gap is what your messages really brought back, in visits and in money.
None of the tools checked on October 26, 2026 lists a measurement like this on its page.
