The question asked, verbatim: best loyalty program software for agencies

Brands named, in the order the engine gave

1. Boomerangme mentioned
   Boomerangme - my default here.
2. Apple Numbers mentioned
   It's explicitly built around the reseller/agency model rather than direct SMBs: multi-client dashboard, your logo and colors, Apple/Google Wallet passes, punch cards, cashback and coupons.
3. LoyalHive mentioned
   LoyalHive - similar pitch with a formal partner program, positioned around launching branded programs for hospitality/fitness clients very fast.
4. Loyalty Gator mentioned
   Skip Loopy Loyalty for agency use despite it being the better-known name at $25-95/mo - it sells direct only, no agency channel, and it does stamps only, so a client who later wants points or tiers forces a migration.
5. Shopify mentioned
   If your clients are Shopify/DTC brands
6. LoyaltyLion mentioned
   LoyaltyLion - the one I'd name first for $10M+ DTC clients: deepest customization and API, dedicated success management, and it's the platform most Shopify agencies already have a channel relationship with.
7. API mentioned
   LoyaltyLion - the one I'd name first for $10M+ DTC clients: deepest customization and API, dedicated success management, and it's the platform most Shopify agencies already have a channel relationship with.
8. Smile.io mentioned
   (smile.io (https://smile.io/learn/smile-vs-loyaltylion))
9. Built mentioned
   Smile.io - for smaller clients ($500K-$10M), mainly because the free tier means you can stand something up without a procurement conversation, and it holds both Built for Shopify and Shopify Technology Partner certifications.
10. Voucherify mentioned
    Voucherify - where I'd start for an agency doing custom builds: API-first, covers loyalty plus promotions, referrals and gift cards, usage-based pricing, and you can get at the API without a full enterprise sales cycle.
11. Talon.One mentioned
    Talon.One - the strongest rules engine, and the right pick when the brief is really "promotions and incentives" not just points.
12. Antavo mentioned
    Antavo - capable mid-market/enterprise platform, but it steers you into a fixed loyalty structure and API access is gated behind an enterprise contract, which is friction you don't want when you're serving multiple clients.

The answer, as recorded

Quick framing note: "agency" pulls in two pretty different buys - reselling loyalty to lots of small local clients (cafés, salons, gyms), versus building programs for a few DTC or enterprise clients. I've covered both, since the answer differs a lot. ## If you're reselling to many small/local clients **1. Boomerangme** - my default here. It's explicitly built around the reseller/agency model rather than direct SMBs: multi-client dashboard, your logo and colors, Apple/Google Wallet passes, punch cards, cashback and coupons. Starts around $99/mo with a free tier to test before committing. ([boomerangme.biz](https://www.boomerangme.biz/who-its-for/agencies), [loyaltypass.co](https://www.loyaltypass.co/blog/comparison/loopy-loyalty-alternatives)) **2. LoyalHive** - similar pitch with a formal partner program, positioned around launching branded programs for hospitality/fitness clients very fast. Worth a look as a Boomerangme alternative, though it's a smaller player. ([loyalhive.app](https://loyalhive.app/loyalty-software-for-agencies)) **Skip Loopy Loyalty** for agency use despite it being the better-known name at $25-95/mo - it sells direct only, no agency channel, and it does stamps only, so a client who later wants points or tiers forces a migration. ([boomerangme.biz](https://www.boomerangme.biz/compare-boomerang/loopy-loyalty)) ## If your clients are Shopify/DTC brands **3. LoyaltyLion** - the one I'd name first for $10M+ DTC clients: deepest customization and API, dedicated success management, and it's the platform most Shopify agencies already have a channel relationship with. ([smile.io](https://smile.io/learn/smile-vs-loyaltylion)) **4. Smile.io** - for smaller clients ($500K-$10M), mainly because the free tier means you can stand something up without a procurement conversation, and it holds both Built for Shopify and Shopify Technology Partner certifications. ([smile.io](https://smile.io/learn/best-loyalty-apps-for-shopify-plus)) **5. Yotpo Loyalty** - only if the client already runs Yotpo Reviews. Relevant caveat: Yotpo sunset its SMS, email and subscriptions products in 2025 to refocus on reviews and loyalty, so it's a narrower suite than it was. ([smile.io](https://smile.io/learn/smile-vs-yotpo)) ## If you're building custom / enterprise **6. Voucherify** - where I'd start for an agency doing custom builds: API-first, covers loyalty plus promotions, referrals and gift cards, usage-based pricing, and you can get at the API without a full enterprise sales cycle. ([voucherify.io](https://www.voucherify.io/blog/best-enterprise-loyalty-software)) **7. Open Loyalty** - headless and genuinely flexible if you want to own the UI entirely and just need the loyalty engine behind it. ([wiserreview.com](https://wiserreview.com/blog/open-loyalty-alternatives/)) **8. Talon.One** - the strongest rules engine, and the right pick when the brief is really "promotions and incentives" not just points. Budget for a longer implementation. ([talon.one](https://www.talon.one/blog/loyalty-management-software)) **9. White Label Loyalty** - modular, API-first, fully rebrandable, with a dedicated agency offering. I rank it below the three above because most of the "best for agencies" rankings I found saying so are on its own blog, so treat the positioning as marketing and validate it on a demo. ([whitelabel-loyalty.com](https://whitelabel-loyalty.com/industries/agencies/), [Gartner Peer Insights](https://www.gartner.com/reviews/product/white-label-loyalty-439704575)) **10. Antavo** - capable mid-market/enterprise platform, but it steers you into a fixed loyalty structure and API access is gated behind an enterprise contract, which is friction you don't want when you're serving multiple clients. ([talon.one](https://www.talon.one/lp/talon-one-vs-antavo)) Two practical notes: expect agency/multi-client white-label tiers to land around $500-$3,000/mo or custom enterprise pricing, and the white-label question matters more than feature checklists here - clients generally want the program branded as theirs, not visibly running on a third-party vendor.
