Kardy vs
Loopy Loyalty

A focused digital stamp card product with wallet support and a visual card designer for individual businesses.

Our take

Where should the customer find their card?

For some shops, the brief is straightforward: replace the paper stamp card with one customers can keep in their phone's wallet. Loopy Loyalty's guide describes a product built around that task, including card design and digital stamping. If that is your whole brief, a focused product is worth a close look.

Kardy brings memberships from participating shops into a shared web wallet. Native Apple and Google Wallet downloads are still being developed. That distinction is more important than whether two preview images look similar: choose on the experience customers can use today, not the destination shown in a mockup.

Where Kardy still falls short

Kardy still needs a richer self-serve pass designer and more granular visual controls. A public developer/API story and deeper integrations are not complete in the current MVP. Kardy needs more integrations and operational tooling before it matches a mature wallet-card platform.

Try it in practice

Add a card on an iPhone and an Android phone, close everything, and find it again. Then collect a stamp. That small exercise tells you more about everyday use than a designer screenshot.

Use the phones and staff roles you expect to have at launch. Keep a note of anything that needs an explanation, a manual correction or a second device. Those are the details to resolve before inviting customers.

Who it suits

Loopy Loyalty

Small businesses that want to make one attractive stamp card quickly and send it to mobile wallets.
