Comparison
Pikarta vs Loyverse
Loyverse bundles loyalty into a free POS system. Pikarta is a loyalty app first — stamps, points, cashback and discounts in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, with no POS to switch.
Why owners switch to Pikarta
Four reasons Pikarta wins
Four rewards, not one points scheme
Run stamps, points, cashback or a discount and match the mechanic to your margins. Loyverse's loyalty feature centers on a single points model.
No POS to switch
Pikarta runs alongside whatever till or payment system you already use — you are not adopting a new POS to get better loyalty.
Staff act by PIN, nothing else
Cashiers add visits at the counter with a PIN and never see your settings, pricing or customer data.
Live in minutes, free for 30 days
Build a branded card, print the QR, take your first customer today. The trial needs no card to start.
What Pikarta is
Pikarta is loyalty software for small businesses, not a point-of-sale system. Your loyalty card lives in the customer's Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — no plastic and no app for them to download. Customers join by scanning a QR code at the counter, staff add visits from the same phone with a PIN, and every change you make to a card reaches every holder automatically. You pick the reward that fits — stamps, points, cashback or a discount — and go live the same day, whatever till you use.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What's the real difference between Pikarta and Loyverse?
Loyverse is a free point-of-sale system with a built-in points loyalty feature and its own customer app, aimed at businesses that want POS, inventory and loyalty in one product. Pikarta is loyalty-first: it runs stamps, points, cashback and discounts and puts the card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, without asking you to switch your POS or checkout process.
Do I need to change my POS to use Pikarta?
No. Pikarta runs alongside whatever till or payment system you already use. Staff add stamps, points or cashback from the Pikarta app with a PIN, independent of how you take payment.
Can I run stamps or cashback, not just points?
Yes. Pikarta supports stamps, points, cashback and discounts, so you choose the model that fits your margins.
How much does it cost to start?
Nothing to start — a 30-day free trial with no card required, then a subscription. You can build a card and take your first customer before you pay.
