A Stamp Me alternative with no app to install.
Stamp Me is an established loyalty product, and the app model works when customers commit to it. That commitment is exactly the cost: every member has to install an app, keep it, and keep its notifications on. Piqlo takes the other road. The loyalty card lives where your customers already look, in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, enrolled from one scan of your printed code, with nothing to download. Piqlo is also free to start; Stamp Me starts from $49 a month as of mid 2026. The honest trade-off: Stamp Me can message members through app push and SMS today, and Piqlo does not send marketing messages yet.
Where Piqlo is ahead
No install, no attrition. Every step between a customer and their loyalty card loses people: the app-store detour, the account creation, the uninstall three weeks later. A wallet pass has none of those steps. The customer scans your code, taps once, and the card sits next to their boarding passes, updating over the air each time a stamp, points, or a reward lands.
One platform, not one feature. The same Piqlo account runs stamp and points cards, a full customer CRM with visits and notes, Google review cards, and print-ready counter materials. At the counter, staff stamp from paired scanner devices with personal PINs, and you can revoke a device the moment it goes missing. And your printed code never changes, whatever you edit behind it.
Where Stamp Me is ahead, honestly
Messaging, today. Stamp Me can reach members through app push and SMS campaigns right now. Piqlo's wallet passes update on real activity only; owner-composed marketing messages are on our roadmap and have not shipped. If broadcasting to your member base this month is the feature you are buying, they have it and we do not yet. Where the table says "check their current plans", we mean it literally: their packaging can change, and we would rather send you to their pricing page than get it wrong here.
FAQ
What is the main difference between Piqlo and Stamp Me?
The place the loyalty card lives. Stamp Me is app-based: your customers install the Stamp Me app to collect stamps. Piqlo is wallet-native: the card enrolls from one scan of your printed code and lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet (or as a hosted page in the browser on the free tier). There is nothing for your customers to install, and no app-permission or uninstall attrition eating your program.
Is Piqlo cheaper than Stamp Me?
To start, yes. Piqlo is free to start: a hosted stamp card for up to 50 members costs nothing, and wallet passes, the customer CRM, and staff scanner devices are on Pro at $15 a month. Stamp Me starts from $49 a month as of mid 2026. Always check their current pricing page, since plans change.
Does Piqlo send SMS or push campaigns like Stamp Me?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Stamp Me can message members through app push and SMS today. A Piqlo wallet pass updates over the air when real activity happens (stamps, points, a reward earned), but owner-composed marketing campaigns have not shipped yet; they are on our roadmap. Note that SMS campaigns typically carry per-message costs on any platform that offers them.
Do points cards work on Piqlo too?
Yes. A Piqlo loyalty card runs as a classic stamp card or as a points card: earn per visit or per amount spent, with a rewards catalog of up to 12 rewards, each with its own point cost. The wallet pass shows the live balance.
