The Cheapest Loyalty App in Saudi Arabia, With a Real Free Plan

The cheapest loyalty program in Saudi Arabia is 0 SAR — with a size limit worth knowing

The cheapest loyalty program software in Saudi Arabia, for any shop under 100 customers, is Waya's Free plan: 0 SAR forever, no credit card, up to 100 customers and 100 wallet messages a month. Above that, Growth is 85 SAR a month (867 SAR a year), and Premium is 149 SAR a month (1,520 SAR a year) with unlimited customers and messages.

We ranked Niqati, Loyapro, Stamp Me, Go-Stamp, Nuqtaty, Bonat, and Loopy Loyalty on entry-tier price, converting USD and EUR to SAR at roughly 3.75 SAR/USD and 4.10 SAR/EUR. See the wider Saudi loyalty platforms compared roundup. The raw cheapest number there is WalaX at 20 SAR/mo — a Salla widget with no wallet pass, not a fair comparison.

• Under 100 customers: Waya Free at 0 SAR beats every trial-only competitor here
• Over 100 customers: Niqati Pro (49.99 SAR/mo) and Loyapro Basic (59 SAR/mo) undercut Waya Growth (85 SAR/mo)
• WalaX's 20 SAR/mo is the field's lowest number, but it's a Salla widget with no wallet pass — not comparable

What the free plan includes, and where it stops

Waya's Free plan is 0 SAR forever, no credit card: up to 100 customers, 100 wallet messages a month, 1 stamp card, 1 branch — enough for a real pilot, not a stripped-down demo.

Both ceilings sit at 100: 100 enrolled customers, 100 wallet messages a month. Past either, new enrollments and messages pause, but nothing is deleted — everyone already enrolled keeps their card and keeps collecting stamps.

Growth at 85 SAR a month removes both ceilings: unlimited customers, 5,000 messages, up to 10 cards, 3 branches. You decide to pay once the free plan's limits actually block growth, not before.

Waya vs Niqati, Loyapro, Stamp Me, Go-Stamp, Nuqtaty, Bonat, and Loopy Loyalty

Every figure below is the vendor's own published price as of September 2026. Non-SAR prices are converted at approximately 3.75 SAR/USD and 4.10 SAR/EUR and marked "approx."; anything a vendor doesn't publish is marked "Not listed on their site (Sept 2026)" rather than estimated.

Worked riyal math: a 300-customer shop over 12 months

Price comparisons matter most once a shop is past every free tier in this set. At 300 enrolled customers, here's what a year actually costs on the four cheapest genuine wallet-pass options.

Loyapro's Basic tier offers no annual discount — 59 SAR a month is 708 SAR a year, paid monthly or annually. Niqati's Pro tier does the opposite: its annual price (499.99 SAR) is meaningfully below 12 times its monthly rate, making it the single cheapest paid option in this table for a shop that commits for a year upfront.

What to ask before you choose on price alone

The cheapest number rarely stays cheapest once VAT, message overages, and per-branch add-ons are counted. Confirm these before signing anywhere on price alone.

• Is the advertised price VAT-inclusive, or does 15% get added at checkout?
• What does the plan include at that customer count — message quota, branch count, staff seats?
• Is there a per-branch surcharge once you grow past the entry tier?
• Does the annual price genuinely discount the monthly rate, or is it just 12 times the monthly number?

Test the cheapest option properly in one week

A price comparison on paper is a starting point, not a decision. The fastest way to know which "cheap" plan is actually cheap for your shop is to run a real pilot before paying for anything.

1. Day 1: sign up for the two cheapest fits

   Open Waya's Free plan and one paid trial from the table above.

2. Day 2: build a real card on both

   Set the same reward structure and branding on each so the comparison is fair.

3. Day 3: enroll real customers

   Put both QR codes at the till and see which flow customers complete without friction.

4. Day 4: send a real test message

   Confirm messages land on the wallet lock screen, not an app inbox nobody checks.

5. Day 5: recalculate the 12-month cost

   Run the worked math above using your own customer count and message volume.

Where "cheap" quietly gets expensive

Message overages

A plan that looks cheap on its base price can get expensive fast if messages aren't included at the volume you send. Waya's Growth plan includes 5,000 messages a month; check whether a cheaper tier includes any allowance at all.

Per-branch pricing that isn't obvious upfront

Several vendors charge per location once you add a second branch — a detail that doesn't show on the headline price. Waya's Growth includes 3 branches at the flat 85 SAR/mo rate; confirm whether a cheaper number holds once you add one.

Annual pricing that isn't actually discounted

Loyapro's annual price is exactly 12 times its monthly rate — no discount for committing upfront. Niqati's is meaningfully lower. Check the math yourself rather than assuming "annual" means "cheaper."

The verdict

Under 100 customers, Waya's Free plan is the cheapest genuine wallet-pass option here, full stop — 0 SAR, no credit card, no time limit. One Waya laundry signed up 628 customers in five weeks on that free-plan runway before paying anything.

Above 100 customers, Niqati and Loyapro's paid entry tiers do undercut Waya Growth on raw price. Weighed on price and quality together — geofence, working-hours scheduling, and Arabic-first SAR pricing — Waya remains the better value; see loyalty software hidden costs for what else to check.

One Waya laundry enrolled 628 customers in five weeks on the Free plan alone, with 174 returning twice or more — a real pilot's worth of data collected before a single riyal changed hands.
