StampyWallet or Stamp Me, minus the app

Published · Updated

Stamp Me is a stamp card platform built around its own app: customers download Stamp Me to join your program, and their card lives inside it. StampyWallet puts your card straight into their wallet.

Who is StampyWallet right for, instead of Stamp Me?

A beauty salon, a nail studio or a café where loyalty is decided at the counter: the client has her phone out to pay, not to install an app. As of 26 October 2026, Stamp Me starts at $49 a month (€29) and customers join through the Stamp Me app. StampyWallet puts the card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet in one scan, with every card program included, from $29 a month before tax (€20 excl. VAT in Europe) and 30 days free.

Our verdict

Stamp Me starts at $49 a month, charges for every card program beyond two, and asks every customer to install its app. StampyWallet is $29 a month before tax (€20 excl. VAT in Europe), stamps, points and tiers included, and the card goes into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet with nothing to install.

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.

Why StampyWallet rather than Stamp Me

No app to install before the first stamp

With Stamp Me, customers first download the Stamp Me app to create an account and join your program; their card lives in that app. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet only hold their member code, and only if you validate with the Stamp Business app. With us, the customer scans the counter QR and the card is in their wallet.

Every card program included

Beyond two published programs, Stamp Me charges a one-off $15 setup per card. With StampyWallet, stamps, points and tiers are all included: a salon can run a cut card and a color card, a café a breakfast card and a lunch card, at no extra cost.

Less a month, from the first plan

Stamp Me's Lite plan is $49 a month (€29 in euros); our Essential plan is $29 before tax, $24 billed yearly (€20 and €17 in Europe), with an unlimited team and no setup fee. And every Stamp Me plan covers a single location, while our Network plan is €90 a month before tax including 3 locations, then €25 per extra location, billed in euros.

Notifications are free, on every plan

Every StampyWallet plan includes Wallet notifications at no extra cost, to everyone or to automatic segments: absent 30, 60 or 90 days, one stamp to go, this month's birthdays. Growth ($49 / £35 / €40) adds 200 texts a month for the customers who answer texts.

Google reviews and gift cards, on the same card

On Growth, a direct link to your Google listing goes to every customer after a reward, with no filtering by rating, and you sell gift cards that live in the Wallet. Stamp Me's pricing page mentions neither.

Till connectors when you want them

On Growth, our till connectors (Square, Shopify, SumUp, Zettle) bring your sales in. Stamp Me's pricing page names no register among its integrations.

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:

  1. 1Message to one customerEssential
  2. 2Recurring message, every TuesdayGrowth
  3. 3Win-back at each customer's own rhythmGrowth
  4. 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.

Questions

StampyWallet and Stamp Me, the questions that keep coming up

Does Stamp Me require an app?

Yes. According to Stamp Me, customers download the Stamp Me app to create an account and join your program, and the card lives in the app. With StampyWallet, the card goes into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet with no app.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Stamp Me?

Yes: StampyWallet. Essential is $29 a month before tax, $24 billed yearly (€20 and €17 excl. VAT in Europe), with stamps, points and tiers included, an unlimited team, free Wallet notifications and no app for your customers. As of 26 October 2026, Stamp Me's Lite plan is $49 a month (€29 in euros) for one location, plus a one-off $15 per card program beyond two.

What is a good Stamp Me alternative for a nail salon?

StampyWallet: the client adds the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet by scanning the QR code at the counter while she pays, with no app to install, and on Growth she gets the link to your Google listing after her reward. From $29 a month before tax (€20 excl. VAT in Europe), with 30 days free.

Can I run several cards with StampyWallet without Stamp Me's per-program fee?

Yes. Stamps, points and tiers are all included in the subscription, and one card can carry two counters, regular and premium for instance, each with its own reward. Stamp Me charges a one-off $15 per program beyond two.

How do I know if my messages bring customers back, compared with Stamp Me?

With the Growth report: one customer in ten, picked at random, gets no win-backs or promotions, and comparing them with everyone else shows the extra visits and sales. Stamp Me's pricing page doesn't mention anything like it.

Thirty days to make up your own mind
