Short answer

Is Stamp Me or KANJIN better for a small shop?

It depends on whether your customers will install an app. KANJIN (kanjin.app) is free: $0, no app for the customer, no limit on how many join and no time limit, with $39 a month only when you want the automatic emails. The table below says what each plan includes, with the date we read every fact and a link to the page it came from.

Where Stamp Me is better

  • Stamp Me has push messages, texts, Scratch & Win and a Birthday Club on its Pro and Elite plans. Pro is $79 a month. KANJIN sends no texts and no push messages, and has no game.2,4
  • Customers who join on their own use the Stamp Me app, where they can see their stamps. KANJIN has no app for customers.1
  • Stamp Me’s pricing page describes “15+ years of digital loyalty experience”. KANJIN is new.2

Where KANJIN fits

We make KANJIN, so read this part with that in mind. Your regulars are yours.

  • Free, with no customer limit and no time limit. No card is needed.
  • No app. The phone number is the card, and the Counter poster’s QR code lets customers join on their own phone, free.
  • KANJIN sends 20 Google review requests a month on its own, free, by Google’s rules. Everyone is asked the same way, and nothing is offered for a review.
  • The whole customer list downloads free. In Settings, under Take a copy, press Customers.
  • It shows which regulars have stopped coming, by trade: a cafe after 21 days, a barbershop after 45, a pet groomer after 75. The email that writes to them is on the paid plan.
  • The Daily ledger is free, and so are 19 tools on our Tools page, such as a break-even calculator.

The honest limits

  • Email only. No Wallet pass, no push messages, no texts.
  • Email only. No texts and no push messages.
  • The win-back email and the slow-day email are on the paid plan. The win-back email runs on its own once you switch it on. The slow-day email waits for you to read it and press Send.
  • Email works in every country.

The free plan has no time limit and nothing is charged until you start the paid plan yourself. The paid plan is $39 a month, or $390 a year, per shop (plus sales tax where it applies), with 30 days free for a new business.
