The Loyverse Loyalty alternative your customers don't have to install.
Loyverse's loyalty program is solid if you're running their POS — but it asks customers to download the Loyverse customer app. Brewstamp keeps the loyalty card in the browser: one QR code at the counter, no install, no account creation.
In short
Loyverse Loyalty is the loyalty feature inside Loyverse POS. Both it and Brewstamp keep loyalty simple, but Loyverse expects your customers to install the Loyverse customer app to track their stamps. Brewstamp does the same job with no app at all — the card lives at a URL the customer scans into. The other big differences: POS independence and a flat $5/month price (vs Loyverse's paid POS add-ons for advanced features).

Why cafes choose Brewstamp
Reasons cafes pick Brewstamp over Loyverse Loyalty
Your customers don't install anything
Loyverse's loyalty program runs through the Loyverse customer app — another download you're asking your regulars to bother with. Brewstamp's card opens in their browser. No app, no account, no friction.
Independent of your POS
If you switch from Loyverse POS to anything else (Square, Toast, plain card terminal), your Loyverse loyalty data goes with the POS. Brewstamp stays put — your stamp card is its own thing.
One flat price
Loyverse's loyalty basics are free, but real reporting and multi-outlet support sit behind paid Loyverse add-ons charged per outlet per month. Brewstamp is $5/month flat. No add-ons. No surprises.
Per-stamp approval kills self-stamping
Every Brewstamp stamp shows up on your dashboard for approval before it lands. Loyverse's sale-tied stamping is hard to game, but Brewstamp's flow protects you even if loyalty is decoupled from purchases.
When Loyverse Loyalty might be the better fit
We're not for everyone
Loyverse is a competent free POS with a real ecosystem. A few scenarios where its loyalty feature is the right call:
- You already run Loyverse POS day-to-day. Loyverse Loyalty is included in the basic POS, so if you're already a Loyverse shop the cheapest option is the one you already have. The trade-off is the customer-app requirement.
- You want loyalty tied to dollar spend, not visits. Loyverse runs a points-per-dollar system. Brewstamp runs a stamp-per-visit system. If your average ticket varies a lot — coffee plus pastry plus brunch — points may map to your business better.
- You have multiple outlets sharing one customer base. Loyverse handles multi-location loyalty natively. Brewstamp's multi-shop story is simpler — better for independent cafes than chains.

FAQ
Loyverse Loyalty alternative — questions cafe owners ask
Is Brewstamp a free Loyverse Loyalty alternative?+
Yes. Brewstamp is free up to 100 stamps total, then $5/month for unlimited stamps. Loyverse's basic loyalty feature is also free — but only when bundled with Loyverse POS, and customers need the Loyverse app.
Do my customers need to download an app to use Brewstamp?+
No. Brewstamp opens in any phone browser. The customer scans your QR code, the loyalty card appears, and they collect stamps from there — no App Store, no install, no account creation.
Do I need Loyverse POS to use Brewstamp?+
No. Brewstamp doesn't care which POS you run. It's a separate digital loyalty card that lives at a QR code on your counter, completely independent of your card terminal or sales system.
How is Brewstamp different from Loyverse Loyalty?+
Loyverse ties loyalty to its own POS and customer app. Brewstamp is POS-agnostic and runs in the browser — no apps anywhere. The pricing model is also flatter: $5/month flat instead of free-but-with-paid-add-ons priced per outlet.
Can I switch from Loyverse to Brewstamp?+
Yes. Print a new Brewstamp QR code, replace your existing loyalty signage, and ask regulars to scan it on their next visit. Because neither product needs a customer app for the new card to work, the switch is friction-free for them.
