Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order:\n\n**1. Smile.io - the default for Shopify/DTC client work.** Lowest friction, genuinely good agency partner program, and your team can learn it once and deploy it across a dozen clients without a developer. Free plan up to ~$599/mo Plus, so it fits small clients you couldn't otherwise serve profitably. Agency-partner deals for bundled loyalty work reportedly land around $1,200-$3,500/mo. Weakness: it's a points-and-tiers app, not a rules engine - you'll hit walls on anything unusual.\n\n**2. Open Loyalty - best if you want to build real IP on top.** API-first, modular, explicitly supports **multi-tenant deployments for multiple programs/markets**, and can be self-hosted with no vendor branding in customer-facing surfaces. This is the one I'd pick if your agency wants to productize a loyalty offering rather than resell someone else's", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
