The answer, as recorded

Depends on whether you're *reselling* loyalty as a recurring-revenue product to SMB clients, or *building* programs for bigger brand clients. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in that order: **If you want to resell loyalty under your own brand (most agencies)** 1. **Boomerangme** - the one purpose-built for your model. The Agency tier (~$259/mo, or ~$214 annually) gives you white-label branding, sub-accounts for each client, your own pricing and currencies, and your own Stripe/PayPal gateway so you bill clients directly. Digital stamp/punch cards in Apple & Google Wallet, so onboarding a café or salon takes an afternoon. Start here if your clients are local SMBs. ([pricing details](https://www.capterra.com/p/241848/Boomerangme), [reseller program](https://kangaroorewards.com/reseller-program/)) 2. **Kangaroo Rewards** - the more mature SMB platform with a real reseller/partner program: wholesale pricing, deal protection, a reseller dashboard, onboarding support. Better POS integration depth than Boomerangme and stronger for retail/restaurant clients who need SMS, gift cards, and in-store hardware. Slightly heavier to deploy. ([partner program](https://loyalty.kangaroorewards.com/become-a-partner/)) 3. **Smile.io** - if your clients are Shopify stores, don't overthink it. Launch in hours, cheap tiers, and clients can self-serve after handoff. Not white-label, and it caps out fast, but it's the lowest-friction win and has a partner program. ([comparison](https://www.raftlabs.com/blog/best-loyalty-program-software)) **If you're building programs for mid-market and enterprise clients** 4. **Open Loyalty** - headless, API-first, genuinely white-label, and the usual pick for agencies/SIs that want to own the frontend and ship a custom program on someone else's engine. Best fit if you have devs. ([overview](https://www.raftlabs.com/blog/best-loyalty-program-software)) 5. **Talon.One** - the strongest rules engine out there for promotions + loyalty, and its group-loyalty feature handles multi-brand/multi-entity setups well. Pick this when the client's requirements are weird (geo-specific offers, cart conditions, cross-brand points). Enterprise pricing, API-only - you're the implementation layer. ([Talon.One](https://www.talon.one/blog/top-10-enterprise-loyalty-program-software-for-2026)) 6. **Antavo** - configurable omnichannel enterprise platform with white-label branding and a solid agency/partner ecosystem. More of a "configure, don't code" alternative to the two above; good when the client has a marketing team but no engineers. ([ranking](https://whitelabel-loyalty.com/blog/loyalty/best-loyalty-program-software-providers-ranked-and-reviewed/)) 7. **Marsello** - the specific answer for clients running both retail POS and ecommerce, since it unifies one program across Shopify/BigCommerce and in-store. From ~$60/mo per site, so per-client economics work. ([pricing](https://www.voucherify.io/blog/best-loyalty-management-software-review)) My blunt take: pick **Boomerangme** if the pitch is "loyalty as a recurring service for local businesses," **Kangaroo** if you want sturdier POS/retail footing with margin protection, and **Open Loyalty** if you're doing custom implementation work for larger clients. One caveat worth knowing - note that one of the sources above (whitelabel-loyalty.com) ranks itself #1 on its own listicle, so treat that ordering as marketing rather than evaluation.
