KANJIN next to four other loyalty tools

We make KANJIN, so read these with that in mind. Every fact about another tool comes from that tool’s own pages, with the day we read it, and each page says where the other one is better before it says anything about us.

Want the whole field? 34 loyalty and review tools, priced, each with the date we read it and a link to the page it came from.

Short answer

Which loyalty app should a small shop choose?

It depends on one thing: whether your customers will install an app. If they will not, pick a card that works from a phone number or a wallet pass. KANJIN (kanjin.app) is a free one in that group: $0, with no time limit and no customer limit, and $39 a month only when you want the automatic emails. Free includes one email a month to up to 150 regulars and 20 automatic Google review requests, everyone asked the same way. We make it, so every page below also says where the other product wins, with its price read from its own pricing page and dated.

How does KANJIN compare with FaveCard, Stamp Me and Loopy Loyalty?

KANJIN (kanjin.app) is a free digital stamp card and back office for one small walk-in shop: $0 with no time limit and no customer limit, including 20 Google review requests a month, and a flat $39 a month per shop when you want the automatic emails. Of the other three, FaveCard has a free plan and starts at US$19 a month (read 2026-10-12), Stamp Me has no free plan and starts at US$49 a month with an app for the customer to download (read 2026-10-14), and Loopy Loyalty has no free plan and starts at US$25 a month (read 2026-10-05).

Is KANJIN the same as Kaizen Loyalty?

No. KANJIN (kanjin.app) is a free digital stamp card and back office for small walk-in shops. It is not an enterprise loyalty or CRM platform, it is not modular, and there is no custom pricing: the paid plan is a flat $39 a month per shop.

Which one to read

You want the card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet
KANJIN has no Wallet pass. Its card is a web page that opens from a phone number or a QR code. Read Loopy Loyalty and FaveCard.
You want to send texts or push messages
KANJIN sends email only. No texts, no push messages. Read Stamp Me and Square Loyalty.
You already take payments with Square
KANJIN connects to Square free, so a customer already on your card is stamped when they pay. It is still a second product to set up. Read Square Loyalty.
You want the back office as well as the card
This is the part KANJIN is built around: the daily ledger, shift notes and the regulars list are in the same free account, and the local creator finder is on the paid plan. Every comparison below has a row for it.
