Comparison
Pikarta vs Passcreator
Passcreator gives you the building blocks for any Wallet pass. Pikarta gives you a finished loyalty app — stamps, points, cashback and discounts, with cashier scanning built in from day one.
Why owners switch to Pikarta
Four reasons Pikarta wins
Turnkey, not a toolkit
Pikarta is a finished loyalty app for stamps, points, cashback and discounts. Passcreator is a platform you configure and template yourself.
Cashier scanning built in
Scan and update customer cards from the same iOS app you use to manage your program — no separate scanning integration to set up.
Staff stamp 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 built for small businesses, not a general-purpose pass builder. 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, with nothing to configure beyond your own card.
