Places 360 compared with Stamp Me.
Stamp Me is a long-established stamp-card app. Places 360 runs the stamp card too, and the menu, the ordering and your own page beside it. Here is what each one publishes.
This page puts Stamp Me beside Places 360 on the things an owner has to decide: what it costs, what the price is charged per, how a customer collects a stamp, and what else arrives with it.
Every Stamp Me figure below is taken from Stamp Me’s own public pages, read on 12 September 2026. We wrote this page and we sell one of the two products, so the table stays with what each company publishes; where Stamp Me does not publish something, the cell says so rather than guessing. Prices and packaging change, so check their site before you choose.
| Stamp Me | Places 360 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £39 Lite / £49 Pro / £129 Elite a month; 30-day trial | Free £0, Regulars £19 + VAT (£22.80 inc. VAT), Growth £59 + VAT (£70.80 inc. VAT); Branded app £99 + VAT (£118.80 inc. VAT) |
| Price basis | Single location on every tier; no VAT statement on the page | Per business, covering every location. A second café is not a second subscription |
| How a stamp is collected | Customer scans a QR, or taps a countertop StampPod – the pod is excluded from Lite | The customer taps a Places 360 tag you have registered by tapping it in the app. A PIN-authorised staff QR scan is the fallback, and the customer’s own stamp code works without a signal |
| Menu, ordering, your own page, team and time clock | Not published. The published product is loyalty | Menu builder and ordering with real card payments, your page in the app and on the web (on your own domain from Regulars), team roles with PIN seats, and a time clock add-on |
| Contract | Not stated on their page. A 30-day trial is published | The Free plan is £0 a month with no contract, no setup fee and no time limit. Cancel any time |
| What to look at closely | Whether you need the StampPod, since Lite excludes it; whether the prices you are quoted include VAT, as the page does not say; and what a second site costs, since every tier is a single location | Whether you need bookings or memberships today, which on our side are coming soon but not here yet; and whether a tap at the counter suits how your queue actually moves |
Where Stamp Me wins.
They have been at this far longer than we have, and they have the case studies to show for it. If you want to read about a café or a salon like yours before you commit, there is more of that on their site than on ours.
Loyalty is the whole product rather than one room in a bigger house, and the three tiers sit on a public page with a 30-day trial, so you can price it without a sales call.
The StampPod is a purpose-built countertop unit. A fixed object made for the job is a fair thing to want on a busy counter, and it is theirs to sell. Their page states it is excluded from Lite, so check which tier you would need before you compare the monthly figure.
What is different about Places 360.
The tap. A customer holds their phone to a tag on your counter and the stamp lands, validated on the server, with per-card cooldowns, daily caps and optional geofencing behind it. No phone number read out over the milk steamer. One tag comes free with every paid plan; further tags are £9 + VAT each, and you register one by tapping it in the app. How the tap works
A flat price. Nothing scales with how well the programme goes, and nothing scales with how many sites you open. One business, one subscription, every location.
No till dependency. It sits beside whatever you use now, or beside nothing at all, and if you change tills next year your cards, menu and page come with you.
And the rest arrives from one vendor at that one price: the stamp card, the menu, ordering with real card payments, offers and promo codes, your own page (on your own domain from Regulars), team roles and a time clock, analytics and accountant exports. And when you want your own app in the stores, the Branded app plan runs on the same backend, so your cards and history move with you. See the plans
What Places 360 does not do.
Bookings, reservations and subscriptions are coming soon, not here yet. If you run appointments, keep the booking tool you have for now and use us for everything around it. No full customer-list export, though transactions, menus and timesheets export to CSV, and on Branded app so do the customers who said yes to your marketing emails.
We sell no powered hardware, so there is no Places 360 equivalent of the StampPod – the only thing on your counter is a £9 + VAT tag. And we do not have Stamp Me’s years of published case studies; we have a small number of named venues and a product you can see for yourself.
Who should pick which.
If loyalty is the only thing you want, you run one site, and a long track record with a countertop unit matters more to you than the monthly figure, Stamp Me is the more settled choice. If you have more than one location, or you want the stamp card and the menu and the ordering and the page to come from the same place at one price that does not move, we cost less and cover more ground. If you are unsure which describes you, tell us what your counter looks like .
