Square Loyalty: From $45/mo (scales with visits). Points-based system. Requires Square POS. No review collection, no gamification.

*Square Loyalty pricing scales with loyalty visits per location. Previously charged per visit; now bundled into Plus ($60/mo) or available as add-on from $45/mo.
Square's pricing scales up as you grow. SpiniX stays flat.
With SpiniX, €29/mo covers gamification, email automation, review collection, and Wallet passes. No add-ons needed.
Square gives your guests points. They get a text when they earn some. Then what?
Day 1: "Cool, I earned 50 points!"
Day 7: Points forgotten. No follow-up from Square.
Day 14: They're eating at your competitor.
Points without follow-up are wasted money.
SpiniX sends automated emails on Day 3, 7, and 10 after each visit. Your guest can't forget — because we won't let them.
Square uses a traditional points system: spend money, earn points, redeem later. It works. But it's predictable.
SpiniX uses a spin-the-wheel mechanic with variable rewards. Behavioral psychology research shows variable rewards trigger 3x more dopamine than predictable ones. It's the same principle that makes games addictive — except here, it brings your guests back.

Square recently added Apple Wallet support, but it's limited to viewing your points balance. No push notifications, no return reminders.
SpiniX creates a full digital loyalty pass in Apple and Google Wallet. It sits next to their credit cards and boarding passes — the most-opened app on any phone. We can send push notifications to the lock screen: new rewards, reminders, special offers.
Your loyalty program lives in the one place your guests check 50+ times a day.
Create your account, customize your prize wheel and rewards. Takes about 10 minutes.
Place them on tables, menus, receipts, and takeaway bags. Every touchpoint becomes an enrollment point.
You don't have to cancel Square on day one. Run both for a week and compare enrollment rates.
Once you see the SpiniX results, drop the Square Loyalty add-on and save $45+/mo.
Most restaurants see results within the first weekend. No data migration needed — SpiniX builds your guest database from scratch through QR scans.
