Places 360 compared with
Magic Stamp.
Magic Stamp is a stamp card app priced per site, with a card design service you can buy outright. Places 360 is one flat price per business that carries the stamp card, the menu, ordering and your own page together. Here is the difference, with their published figures unaltered.
THE BASIS
This page sets Places 360 beside Magic Stamp, a stamp card app sold per site, on price, what the price is charged per, how a stamp reaches a customer’s card, and what else arrives with the subscription.
Every Magic Stamp figure below was read from Magic Stamp’s own public pages on 12 September 2026. Where they do not publish something, the cell says so rather than guessing. We wrote this page and we sell one of the two products. Prices change, so check both before you decide.
| Places 360 | Magic Stamp | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free £0. Regulars £19 + VAT (£22.80 inc. VAT) a month. Growth £59 + VAT (£70.80 inc. VAT); Branded app £99 + VAT (£118.80 inc. VAT) a month. | Basic £29 a site a month. Growth £39 a site a month. Custom card design £250 one-off. |
| Price basis | Per business, covering every location. A second café is not a second subscription. | Per site. |
| How a stamp is collected | The customer taps their phone on an NFC tag at the counter. A Places 360 tag, registered by tapping it in the app. Cooldowns, daily caps, optional geofencing and server-side checks, with a PIN-authorised staff QR scan as the fallback. | Stamp card app. The collection method is not stated on their page. |
| Menu and ordering | Menu builder, collection, eat-in and delivery, an order board, item-level refunds. Card payments from 1.75% + 15p + VAT (2.10% + 18p inc. VAT) on UK debit cards on a paid plan. | Not published. |
| Your own page | A branded page in the app and on the web: logo, hours, blocks; a custom domain from Regulars. | Not published. |
| Team and time clock | Owner, manager and staff roles with PIN seats, plus an employee time clock add-on with NFC and geo check-in. | Not published. |
| Contract | No setup fee. The Free plan is £0 a month with no contract and no time limit. Cancel any time. | Not published. |
| What to look at closely | Card rates are a floor, not a flat rate: other card types cost their real rate. Bookings and subscriptions are coming soon, not here yet. | Confirm the billing cadence before you quote a figure. Their main site is a JavaScript shell. |
Where Magic Stamp wins.
They publish their prices. Two tiers, readable in a minute, no form and no call first. Several vendors in this category publish nothing at all.
They will design your card for you, at a stated £250 one-off. If you want a card that looks properly made and would rather not make it yourself, that is a real service with a real number on it. We do not sell design work.
And they do one job. Less to configure, less to switch off.
What is different here.
The tap: a customer holds their phone to a tag and the stamp lands, which is quicker than reading a phone number aloud across a counter. The flat price: £19 + VAT (£22.80 inc. VAT) a month does not move when the programme works, and it is per business, not per site.
No till dependency: it runs beside whatever you use now, or beside nothing, and changing tills does not cost you your cards. The graduation path: your page today and your own domain from Regulars, on the same backend as your own branded app, when you want one.
The practical difference is the bundle: stamp cards, menus and ordering with real payments, your own page, offers and promo codes, and a team with roles and a time clock, from one vendor at one price for every location.
What Places 360 does not do.
Bookings.
Reservations and appointment slots are coming soon, not here yet. Keep the tool you use for now.
Memberships.
Subscriptions and paid memberships are coming soon, not here yet.
A full customer-list export.
Transactions, menus and timesheets export to CSV, and on Branded app so do the customers who said yes to your marketing emails. The whole list does not.
Card design as a service.
Magic Stamp will design a card for a one-off fee. We give you the tools and you do it.
Who should pick which.
If you run one site, want a stamp card and nothing else, and would rather pay someone to design it, Magic Stamp answers that directly and we do not. If you run more than one, the arithmetic decides it: £19 + VAT (£22.80 inc. VAT) covers your whole business, where £29 covers one site. If you want the menu, the ordering and your own page from the same place as the stamps, that is our case. See what each plan includes
