FaveCard is a browser-based digital card that staff scan as a QR code, with wallet passes, campaigns, surveys, and review requests on paid tiers. Boutikio issues a branded wallet pass and earns from a phone scan, a customer receipt, or an optional Square POS connection, with a built-in CRM and automated engagement around the pass.
-
FaveCard: FaveCard gives merchants a browser-based digital loyalty card with a permanent free plan and paid tiers that add wallet passes, campaigns, and multi-location support. It deliberately has no POS integration: staff scan QR codes from the FaveCard app.
-
Boutikio: Boutikio runs loyalty from a branded digital pass, phone scanning or customer receipt capture, a built-in CRM, and automated engagement after a visit or reward event. Square POS is an optional connection.
-
Both give the customer a digital card; only one puts it in Apple or Google Wallet on the free plan.
FaveCard's free plan runs Permanent free plan: 1 active stamp card, browser-based card, unlimited customers, basic analytics. Wallet passes, custom branding, and custom stamp icons sit on the paid Pro tier at 29 EUR per month, and campaigns and surveys arrive on Business at 49 EUR per month.
-

-

-
Business 49 EUR / month: adds campaigns, messages, surveys, review requests, kiosk mode, and team accounts.
FaveCard does not connect to a POS at all: it positions itself as working with any POS, or none, and staff scan QR codes. Boutikio connects to Square as its launch integration, optionally, and also runs with no POS through phone scanning and customer receipt capture. Neither product ties earning to a non-Square till today.
-
FaveCard: None by design. The card works standalone and staff scan QR codes with the FaveCard app.
-
Boutikio: No POS required. Square POS is the launch integration and is optional; no other POS connection is live.
-
If automatic checkout earning is a requirement, check this carefully on both sides.
Boutikio stores customer data and loyalty activity in a built-in CRM and automates engagement after a visit or reward event as part of the core product. FaveCard offers a customer list, campaigns, messages, surveys, and analytics, but it does not present itself as a CRM, so lifecycle follow-up is campaign-led rather than system-led.
-
Boutikio: Built-in CRM for loyalty activity and customer data. Automated engagement after a visit or reward event.
-
FaveCard: Customer list, campaigns, surveys, and analytics; not presented as a CRM. Campaigns, customer messages, surveys, and Google review requests on paid plans.
-
Automated engagement is where a standalone loyalty platform separates from a digital stamp card.
FaveCard publishes a full ladder: Free plan at 0 USD forever; Pro 29 EUR / month; Business 49 EUR / month; Multi 149 EUR / month including 3 locations (extra locations 39 EUR / month). Boutikio does not publish pricing in this phase. The honest read is that FaveCard wins any comparison that stops at the monthly figure, and Boutikio has to be judged on what the loyalty program does with a visit.

The card stays familiar but the earning flow changes: instead of staff scanning a QR code in the FaveCard app, visits are recorded from a wallet pass scan or a customer receipt, and Square can be connected when it is part of the setup. Follow-up moves from manual campaigns to automated engagement triggers.
-
Earning: QR scan in the FaveCard app becomes a pass scan or receipt submission.
-
Customer surface: a browser card becomes a branded Apple or Google Wallet pass.
-
Follow-up: manual campaigns can become automated engagement after a visit or reward.
