What Stamp Me actually costs, tier by tier
Stamp Me costs $49 USD a month on Lite (roughly 184 SAR, approx., 3 SMS messages included, basic activity insights), $79 USD a month on Pro (roughly 296 SAR, approx., unlimited SMS, full member data), and $199 USD a month on Elite (roughly 746 SAR, approx., unlimited SMS, dedicated account manager) - all as of September 2026, per Stamp Me's own pricing page, with a 30-day trial and no free tier.
Prices are also listed in GBP, EUR, CAD, and AUD, but never SAR - every Saudi invoice moves with the exchange rate month to month, unlike Waya's fixed SAR pricing.
Stamp Me is also Australian-built and Australia-oriented; its site doesn't mention Arabic support at all, which matters for a Saudi-facing card.
Stamp Me vs Waya and 6 more Saudi loyalty apps
Every vendor here, side by side, as of September 2026. A cell reading Not found or Unknown means the vendor's site doesn't state it, not that the feature is confirmed absent - and prices change, so verify anything that matters on the vendor's own page before you sign.
Not listed = not on the vendor's site; verify directly.

The 12-month math at roughly 300 customers
Stamp Me doesn't cap customers by tier, so 300 doesn't force an upgrade there. Here's a year of each platform's relevant plan, converting USD/EUR at approximately 3.75 SAR and 4.10 SAR respectively.
- Stamp Me Lite (≈2,205 SAR/yr) is the most expensive plan in this table, more than double Waya Growth billed annually
- Resal Starter (690 SAR/yr) is the cheapest paid option shown, less than a third of Stamp Me's cost
- Only Stamp Me offers native SMS in this table, though limited to 3 messages on Lite - Waya has no SMS channel at all
- Stamp Me's price floats with the USD/SAR exchange rate; the three SAR-priced vendors don't
| Vendor / plan | Monthly (SAR) | 12-month cost (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| Waya Free (up to 100 customers) | 0 | 0 - caps at 100 customers, doesn't reach 300 |
| Waya Growth (billed monthly) | 85 | 1,020 |
| Waya Growth (billed annually) | ≈72.25 | 867 |
| Waya Premium (billed monthly) | 149 | 1,788 |
| Waya Premium (billed annually) | ≈126.67 | 1,520 |
| Stamp Me Lite ($49 USD, approx.) | ≈184 | ≈2,205 |
| Btaqa Connect (+VAT) | 108 | 1,296 |
| Resal Starter | 57.5 | 690 |
What actually differs beyond the sticker price
Currency and market fit
Stamp Me prices in USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, and AUD, with no SAR option and no confirmed Arabic UI. Waya, Btaqa, Resal, and Loyapro all publish native SAR pricing built for the Saudi market.
SMS vs wallet-only
Stamp Me includes 3 SMS messages on Lite, unlimited from Pro up - a real differentiator, since Waya has no SMS channel at all and relies entirely on the wallet lock screen.
Geofence
Stamp Me's site doesn't mention geofence or location-based triggers at all. Waya publishes a fixed 50-500 meter radius across up to 10 branches, set from the Branches screen.
Trial length
Stamp Me's 30-day trial is the longest of any vendor in this comparison. Waya doesn't need a trial at all - the Free plan simply stays free for up to 100 customers.
Where Waya's own limits are, plainly
No platform in this comparison does everything, Waya included. Here's what to know before you commit.
It takes minutes, it's free forever for up to 100 customers, and there's no credit card on the free plan.
Start free at 0 SARWhat to verify on Stamp Me's pricing page before you sign
Because Stamp Me prices in foreign currency, a few extra checks matter here beyond the usual list - our Square Loyalty alternatives guide covers a similar USD-pricing gap.
- Is VAT included in the sticker price, or added on top at checkout?
- How long is the free trial, and does it genuinely need no credit card?
- Is there a per-branch or per-location fee once you open a second site?
- What happens to enrolled customers' cards if you cancel - do they lose the card?
- Is the price published in SAR, or converted from USD/EUR/AUD at checkout?
- If there's a free tier, does it stay free forever, or expire after a trial window?
- What exchange rate applies to your monthly charge, and does it change automatically?
What the numbers say about return rate
Price comparisons matter less than whether the card actually gets people back. Here's what we've watched happen on our own side.
One Waya car wash tracked 67 cards and found only a 7.5% two-visit return rate - the cause was staff not scanning at every visit, not a lack of customer interest, once we looked closely.
Waya case-study data, self-reported
How to try Waya against Stamp Me this week
Stamp Me's 30-day trial is generous, but there's no reason not to run Waya's genuinely free plan alongside it from day one.
On price alone, Waya Growth at 85 SAR/mo (867 SAR/yr annual) costs roughly a third of Stamp Me Lite's converted 184 SAR/mo, with SAR pricing that doesn't move with an exchange rate, Arabic-first cards, and a disclosed geofence Stamp Me's site doesn't offer. Stamp Me's edge is native SMS, which is worth weighing if that channel matters more to you than lock-screen reach. These facts are dated September 2026 and prices change; confirm current numbers on stampme.com before you sign.

Put both programs' QR codes out for a week and watch which one gets scanned and finished more often.
- Day 3: time the notification
Send a welcome message on each platform to your own phone and compare how fast, and where, it actually arrives.

If you're leaving Stamp Me, note or export your customer list before cancelling - re-enrollment on Waya happens by a fresh QR scan.
Frequently asked questions
Is Waya really free forever, and what happens at 100 customers?
Yes. Waya's Free plan is 0 SAR forever with no credit card, covering 1 stamp card, 1 branch, and up to 100 customers with 100 messages a month. At 100 customers, new enrollments pause, but everyone already signed up keeps their card.
Does Stamp Me publish Saudi-specific SAR pricing, or is it USD/EUR converted?
Stamp Me prices in USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, and AUD - there's no SAR option. A Saudi merchant's invoice is a currency conversion at checkout, roughly 184 SAR for the $49 Lite tier, as of September 2026.
Does Stamp Me include SMS messaging?
Yes - Lite includes 3 SMS messages, and Pro and Elite include unlimited SMS. Waya has no SMS channel at all; every Waya message goes to the wallet lock screen instead.
Does Stamp Me support Arabic?
Stamp Me's own site doesn't confirm Arabic-language support anywhere, as of September 2026. Waya is Arabic-first with English cards also available.
What should I ask a loyalty vendor before signing a contract?
Ask whether VAT is included, how long the trial runs, whether there's a per-branch fee, and what happens to your customer list if you cancel. See the checklist above for the full list.
