Loyalty & Retention pricing in 2026: what 6 tools actually charge

In short

The median entry price across 6 Loyalty & Retention tools is $49.60 a month, ranging from $15 (Smile.io) to $199 (Stamped). 3 publish an ongoing free plan. All prices read from the vendors' own pages on 19 August 2026.

What Loyalty & Retention actually costs

We read the entry price off each vendor's own pricing page rather than repeating a figure from memory. Across the 6 Loyalty & Retention products where that succeeded, the median entry price is $49.60 a month. The cheapest is Smile.io at $15, the most expensive Stamped at $199 — a spread of 13.3x across products that get filed in the same category.

That spread is the useful part. A category median tells you whether a quote is ordinary; the range tells you that "Loyalty & Retention" describes tools aimed at quite different buyers, and that the cheap end and the expensive end are rarely competing for the same job.

Which ones you can start on for free

3 of these 6 publish an ongoing free plan rather than a countdown trial: Smile.io, LoyaltyLion, Stamped. A free plan is not a discount — it is a different commercial model, and it usually means the paid tier is priced to convert someone already inside the product.

How to read these numbers

An entry price is the floor, not the bill. It buys the cheapest paid tier for one seat, and most of these products meter something on top — seats, contacts, messages, credits. Treat the number as "the least this can cost" and check the vendor's page for what your actual usage lands on.

Every price here carries the date it was read, because a price is only true as of that date. We re-check them weekly, and where a vendor's page did not make clear whether a figure was the monthly or the annual rate, the listing says so rather than guessing.
