Places 360 compared with twelve loyalty and ordering products.
Twelve products, the price each one publishes, and what each one actually is. Where a price is not published, this page says so rather than guessing at it.
HOW TO CHOOSE
Four tests that settle it faster than a feature list.
Every product here can show you a stamp card filling up. The differences turn up in the queue, on the rota and on the invoice a year from now, so test for those instead.
Join as a customer and count the steps to a first stamp.
Do it on your own phone, in your own shop. Count every step: the download, the account, the phone number read out over a coffee grinder. A first stamp that takes four steps is a first stamp most people abandon. With Places 360 the customer taps a tag, in guest mode, with no account.
Have a member of staff do it during a busy hour.
Not you, and not at ten past three. Whatever survives a Saturday morning with a queue to the door is the thing you are actually buying. Ask what happens when the phone has no signal, when the wrong reward is tapped, and when the person on shift has never seen the admin screen.
Look at what the price does when the programme succeeds.
Some prices step up with loyalty visits or monthly active customers, so the better it works the more it costs. Some are charged per site, so a second shop is a second bill. Ours is flat, per business, and covers every location you run.
Count the vendors behind loyalty, a menu, ordering and a page.
Four products means four bills, four logins and four places for a price change to hide. Ask whether the stamp card knows about the order, and whether the page updates when the menu does.

Four contrasts are worth saying plainly. Loyalzoo’s £57 + VAT entry tier is three times our £9 + VAT (£22.80 inc. VAT) on the same published basis. Square’s loyalty price rises in steps as monthly loyalty visits grow, so a programme that works costs more than one that does not; ours does not move. Stamp Me’s countertop tap needs the StampPod, and the pod is excluded from its cheapest tier, while our tap needs only a £9 + VAT tag you register by holding your phone to it. And among the ordering products, Slerp and Vita Mojo do not publish a price at all, Flipdish starts at £119 a site a month before the hardware it lists without prices, and Square’s ordering sends you back to the same £25 to £65 per-location loyalty tier on top. Nobody at this price puts the stamp card, the page and ordering in one product.

What Places 360 does not do.
Bookings, reservations and subscriptions are coming soon, not here yet. If you take appointments, keep the booking tool you already use for now and let us handle the loyalty, the page and the payments beside it; recurring billing for a class pass or a monthly plan is not something we can run for you today. There is no full customer-list export: transactions, menus and timesheets export as CSV for your accountant, and on Branded app so do the customers who said yes to your marketing emails; the rest of the list stays in the dashboard.
Several products on this page beat us on something real. RWRD has a consumer audience we do not have. Embargo has a mature CRM. Flipdish and Vita Mojo run an operations estate far larger than ours. Each comparison page says so in its own words.
Basis: every figure above is the vendor’s own published price, read from their public pricing page on the date shown. Some are stated before VAT, some make no VAT statement at all, and the bases differ, per site, per location, per monthly active customer. Ours are shown with and without VAT, and cover every location the business runs. Prices change; a price we could not find is written as not published rather than estimated.
