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

Brands named, in the order the engine gave

1. Boomerangme mentioned
   Boomerangme - my default pick for most agencies.
2. LoyalHive mentioned
   LoyalHive and Riiwards - worth a look as direct Boomerangme competitors if pricing or margin terms matter more than brand maturity.
3. Riiwards mentioned
   LoyalHive and Riiwards - worth a look as direct Boomerangme competitors if pricing or margin terms matter more than brand maturity.
4. Talon.One mentioned
   Talon.One - where I'd start for retail/e-comm clients, because it runs promotions and loyalty in one rules engine rather than as separate modules.
5. Antavo mentioned
   Antavo AI Loyalty Cloud - headless and API-first, but with a no-code Workflows editor and tier builder, which means your client's marketing team can operate the program after you hand it off.
6. Salesforce mentioned
   Salesforce Loyalty Management - only if the client is already deep in Salesforce.
7. Capillary Technologies mentioned
   Capillary Technologies - strong for global, multi-region, AI-driven programs.
8. Kademi mentioned
   Kademi - the outlier, and the one to name if "agency" means channel partner loyalty: rewarding resellers, distributors, and affiliates rather than end consumers.

The answer, as recorded

"Agency" splits into two very different buying situations, so here's how I'd actually answer: ## If you want to resell loyalty under your own brand (white-label, recurring revenue) 1. **Boomerangme** - my default pick for most agencies. It's the one platform in this tier built explicitly around a reseller model: white-label domain and branding, your own pricing and currencies, your own payment gateway, so you bill the client directly. Aimed at local/SMB clients (cafés, salons, gyms, restaurants) with digital stamp/punch cards in Apple & Google Wallet, and you can spin up a client program in minutes. Starts around $69/mo, which is above Loopy's $25 but you're paying for the agency layer. 2. **White Label Loyalty** - the step up when your clients are bigger than a coffee shop. Event-based, API-first architecture with a real agency/partner track, so you can build genuinely custom reward logic for a retail or CPG client instead of reskinning a stamp card. Heavier lift, better ceiling. 3. **LoyalHive** and **Riiwards** - worth a look as direct Boomerangme competitors if pricing or margin terms matter more than brand maturity. Both run explicit agency partner programs built around recurring monthly revenue. I'd treat these as price-comparison options, not first calls. 4. **Loopy Loyalty** - cheapest way to run wallet-based stamp cards ($25/mo), but note it sells direct only, with no agency channel. Fine if you're operating programs *for* clients on their own accounts; wrong if you want to resell. ## If you're implementing loyalty for enterprise clients 1. **Talon.One** - where I'd start for retail/e-comm clients, because it runs promotions and loyalty in one rules engine rather than as separate modules. That matters when a client's discounts, campaigns, and points logic keep colliding. Longer implementation, though. 2. **Antavo AI Loyalty Cloud** - headless and API-first, but with a no-code Workflows editor and tier builder, which means your client's marketing team can operate the program after you hand it off. Mid-market to enterprise, roughly 8-12 weeks to implement. Clients include KFC, Skims, Benefit. 3. **Open Loyalty** - the most developer-friendly of the three (250+ endpoints, REST and GraphQL). Pick it when you're embedding loyalty into a custom build. Worth knowing it's SaaS despite the name, not open source. 4. **Salesforce Loyalty Management** - only if the client is already deep in Salesforce. The native CRM integration is the entire argument for it; otherwise the others are better products. 5. **Capillary Technologies** - strong for global, multi-region, AI-driven programs. Comes up repeatedly in enterprise shortlists. 6. **Kademi** - the outlier, and the one to name if "agency" means *channel partner* loyalty: rewarding resellers, distributors, and affiliates rather than end consumers. Combines loyalty, partner training, and through-channel marketing. All the enterprise options require a sales call for pricing - that's standard in this category, not a red flag.
