Honest café loyalty comparison

Countloyal vs Square Loyalty in Australia

Square Loyalty is the natural choice for a café already committed to Square that wants points and rewards inside the same checkout. Countloyal is the better fit when loyalty should remain independent of the POS, when Google Wallet matters, or when you want done-for-you café marketing.

Disclosure: We make Countloyal. We link to Square Loyalty's own pages, state uncertainty, and include the cases where it may be the better choice.
