Comparison
LoyaltyLion Alternative
Wallet cards as the core product, and where LoyaltyLion is the stronger platform
LoyaltyLion is a full loyalty platform for Shopify brands, and it does sell wallet passes: Loyalty Pass is a paid add-on. With Shakewell Wallet the Apple Wallet and Google Wallet card is the product itself, on every plan, and it connects to Shopify and Shopify POS. See the Shopify wallet loyalty card, our pricing and the other comparisons. Already on LoyaltyLion? Read the LoyaltyLion migration guide.
Where we win
The wallet card is the core product rather than an add-on, stamps as well as points, a free plan with no time limit, a 14-day trial with no card and customer data hosted in Sydney.
Where LoyaltyLion wins
A full ecommerce loyalty platform with VIP tiers, Shopify POS across multiple locations on higher plans, an onboarding manager on Classic and above.
Best fit for each
LoyaltyLion for a larger Shopify brand that wants a deep on-site program and can budget for the platform and the add-on. Shakewell Wallet for a business that wants the wallet card and stamps or points from the start.
