Welcome stamps
They start with progress, not a blank card.
Configure 2–3 welcome stamps — the customer's first visit starts at 2/10, not 0/10.
Direct comparison · Stamp Me vs Webbership
Stamp Me or Webbership?
Wallet pass or dedicated app.
Stamp Me is a dedicated mobile app for stamp cards, with optional NFC hardware at the counter. Webbership lives directly in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, no separate app required.
The real question: do you want customers to download a Stamp Me app, or a real card in the wallet they already use daily?
The fundamental difference
Dedicated app vs
native wallet.
Stamp Me has its own mobile app. Customers download it, create an account, receive stamp cards inside it. Webbership has no app — the card sits in Apple Wallet / Google Wallet alongside boarding passes and bank cards.
Stamp Me
Stamp Me — dedicated app
Customer downloads Stamp Me from the App Store, signs up, gets a stamp card visible inside the app. Stamp Me branding is on the app icon and throughout the UI. Benefit: optional NFC hardware at the counter for a fast tactile flow. Trade-off: one more app on the customer's phone.
- Dedicated iOS + Android app, Stamp Me-branded
- Optional NFC hardware: StampPod (tap device), StampTag (wearable)
- Built-in referral mechanic with bonus for both sides
- Active since 2011, support in 80+ countries

A deliberate omission
Why we don't build
birthday rewards.
Most competitors offer them. We deliberately don't. Verifying a birthday properly would mean asking customers for ID — which contradicts a principle we hold firmly: customers can stay anonymous if they want to. Without verification, the mechanic becomes an invitation to gaming: anyone can set a fake date in their profile for a free order. We'd rather reward real habits — a stamp per visit, a reward every ten. Abuse-proof by design, no claims we can't confirm.
A deliberate constraint
Wallet notifications,
not app spam.
Webbership does not ask customers to install another app, so we do not send native-app marketing blasts. Instead, important reminders travel through Apple Wallet and Google Wallet: stamp issued, one stamp away, reward ready, expiring stamps, or a carefully chosen campaign message. They feel like updates to the loyalty card, not another brand shouting from the notification tray.
Why it works
Three mechanics your customers
won't find anywhere else.
The hard part of loyalty isn't the first stamp — it's keeping customers in the program after they claim their first reward.
02
Continuity bonus
The reward isn't the end. It's the kick-off.
When a card completes, the new one starts with 1–2 stamps already on it. The post-reward drop never hits.
03
Mega Reward
Card 3 of 5 — special reward coming
Something to look forward to beyond the next stamp.
Every 5th completed card (configurable), the customer gets a special reward — a free dinner, a premium product, anything that says "you're one of our most loyal."
Together, they produce a loyalty program that runs for years instead of melting in 3 months.
Where Stamp Me is the right choice
Stamp Me wins for specific businesses.
Webbership doesn't make universal sense. Here are concrete situations where Stamp Me is the better fit.
- You want NFC hardware at the counter: StampPod is a physical device customers tap their phone against to receive a stamp. Fast tactile flow for staff, satisfying for the customer. Webbership has no hardware equivalent.
- You want to chase a promo price: Stamp Me frequently runs 50%-off promotions (Lite has dropped to ~€29/month). At regular rates, Lite is ~€59/month — above our flat €19. If you catch a promo and brand isn't your main differentiator, it can be cheaper short-term. Trade-off: customers see "Stamp Me" on the app icon, and the promo doesn't last forever.
- You want a dedicated app-centered program: Stamp Me gives customers one branded app where all their stamp cards live. Webbership deliberately avoids that model: referrals are included, but the customer touchpoint stays in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.
- Test with your own flow: before any long-term commitment, run the free trial with your real staff, during peak hours, on the phones they'll actually use. Verify the counter speed and the NFC flow against your rhythm — not against a demo. That tells you more than any review.
Conclusion
Branded app or
card in the wallet?
Stamp Me is a veteran of the punch-card space with a mature product and accessible hardware. For businesses that don't want to manage a distinct visual loyalty brand, it's a valid choice. Webbership is built for cafés, bakeries, barbershops and other local businesses where visible brand matters — wallet pass with your logo, no third-party app to download, no trace of external software for the customer.
