Stamp Me app review: how it works, what it costs and a no-app alternative

Stamp Me vs Stampaz in 30 seconds

People searching for a Stamp Me app review usually want to know three things: how it works, whether it's free, and whether customers really need the app. We make Stampaz, a competitor, so we've stuck to what Stamp Me publishes on its pricing page and its website, as of October 2026:

The honest summary: at the same entry price in euros (€29 a month), the big difference is that with Stamp Me the customer installs an app and with Stampaz they don't. If you want a free month before paying, Stamp Me offers one and Stampaz doesn't. If you have more than one location, Stampaz Pro covers up to 10 for €49.

How the Stamp Me app works

Stamp Me is a digital stamp-card program with its own customer app ("The Stamp Me Loyalty App") and a merchant app ("Stamp Business"). The footer reads "© 2026 Stamp Loyalty". Its site doesn't state where the company is based; prices default to Australian dollars, but that doesn't confirm the country.

For the customer, according to its site, it goes like this: download the app, create an account, join your program, then collect stamps. Your staff stamp with the Stamp Business app using one of several methods it lists: Stamp Code, Onestamps, StampTag and StampPod.

Beyond stamps, it lists Scratch & Win, a Birthday Club and Lapsed Customers campaigns. Users and push notifications are unlimited on every plan.

Stampaz in one paragraph

Stampaz creates loyalty cards customers save in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet without downloading any app. Signing up means scanning the QR code on your counter poster, filling in the minimum and saving the card. Anyone without Wallet gets a web card. It has six card types on every plan and is built for neighborhood businesses: coffee shops, barbers, bakeries, restaurants, beauty salons, gyms and stores.

Stamp Me pricing vs Stampaz pricing

Stamp Me (as of October 2026)

From its pricing page, per month:

• Lite: £39 / €29 / $49 USD, marked as a limited-time offer.
• Pro: £49 / €49 / $79 USD.
• Elite: £129 / €169 / $199 USD.

A 30-day free trial starts when you publish your first stamp card, no credit card needed. Every plan covers a single location. You can have up to 2 published programs; each extra live program costs a one-time £15 / €15.

Stampaz

Prices exclude tax, with no lock-in:

Stampaz has no free plan and no advertised free trial.

How to read it: with one shop, Stamp Me Lite and Stampaz Local cost the same in euros. Look at what each includes: Stamp Me gives unlimited push from the first plan, while Stampaz Local gives 4 campaigns a month (plus the automatic updates for each stamp or reward, which don't count). With two or more locations, the math changes: each Stamp Me plan is for one location, while Stampaz Pro covers up to 10.

Wallet and the customer experience

This is the difference you'll notice most at the counter.

With Stamp Me, the customer downloads the app, creates an account and joins your program. Afterwards they can save their Member Code to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, but only when the business validates with Stamp Business.

With Stampaz, there's no app and no account. The card itself, with its stamps, points or balance, is the Wallet pass. The customer saves it in a few seconds and sees it update every time they earn.

What that means in practice:

• Fewer steps at checkout: no app store, no password, no long registration.
• Lock-screen notifications through the pass itself.
• Location reminders near your shop using Wallet's location feature (Pro and Chain).
• A living design: change your logo or colors and it updates on every phone, with nothing lost.

The technical side is explained in our guides to the Apple Wallet loyalty card and the Google Wallet loyalty card.

Card types and features

Stamp Me focuses on stamp cards, with multiple stamp cards on every plan, and adds Scratch & Win, a Birthday Club and lapsed-customer campaigns.

Stampaz has six types, all on every plan:

On Pro and Chain, Stampaz adds automations for birthdays, welcomes and "we miss you". Stampaz has no Scratch & Win; if that game matters to you, Stamp Me has it.

You take payment for memberships and gift cards at your own till, with no fees: Stampaz doesn't process payments. See how to set up a membership program.

Your staff and the scanner

Stamp Me uses the Stamp Business app and the stamping methods above. Unlimited users on every plan.

Stampaz uses a scanner that works on any phone in your shop, with no accounts or apps, and blocks double scans. You can teach it in a minute to someone who starts today.

Data and privacy

Stampaz stores data on EU servers, is GDPR-compliant and lets you export your customers to CSV on every plan.

We couldn't confirm on Stamp Me's site where it's based or where it hosts data. If keeping data in the EU matters to your business, ask them before you sign up.

Who should choose which
