The cost over 12 months, for the same use

Same scope: one shop, one stamp card, unlimited customers, unlimited push notifications. On Stamp Me, that is the Pro plan; Lite, its entry plan, is described by Stamp Me as "a simple, no-frills digital stamp card".

Per monthOver 12 months
nacard Pro€9.99 excl. VAT€119.88 excl. VAT
Stamp Me Pro (same scope)£49£588
Stamp Me Lite (entry plan)£39£468

Different currencies again: for Stamp Me Pro to cost less than nacard Pro, one pound would have to be worth less than about €0.20 (€119.88 ÷ £588); even for Lite, less than about €0.26. nacard Pro therefore costs less at any realistic exchange rate. Stamp Me Pro does include features nacard doesn't have (games, birthday club, Zapier, NFC StampTags, unlimited users, phone support).

What Stamp Me does better

What nacard does better

nacard's limits, stated plainly

nacard is a young product, published by MADRA SAS in Paris. Prices are in euros. The merchant app (iPhone and Android) is in French for now: English, Spanish, German and Portuguese versions are ready and will ship once the app is out on the App Store and Google Play; until then, we set up your card with you by email. Your customers already get an English sign-up page and card. SMS campaigns only reach French numbers for now (wallet notifications work in every country). No till integration, no multi-location management, no separate staff logins and no self-serve customer export yet.
