Square Loyalty alternative

A Square Loyalty alternative that works with any till

We build Inkmark, so this is an honest comparison rather than a neutral one. Square Loyalty is a solid points programme — if you already run Square. If you do not want to be tied to one POS, or you prefer a classic stamp card, here is how Inkmark compares.

No POS lock-in

Square Loyalty runs inside the Square ecosystem — you need Square as your point of sale to use it. Inkmark is independent of your till: staff stamp from any phone or tablet in the browser, so you can keep whatever POS (or cash box) you already use.

Stamp cards vs points

Square Loyalty is points-based. Inkmark is built around the familiar stamp card — buy nine, get the tenth free — which is simpler for a café or independent shop to explain and for customers to understand.

Pricing that does not punish extra locations

  • Square Loyalty is typically billed per location; costs climb as you add sites.
  • Inkmark bundles locations into plans — £14.99/mo on Lite, £44.99/mo on Pro — with GBP billing.
  • A 7-day free trial with no card required, independent of any POS.
