Loyal-T Cards vs Wally

Loyal-T Cards vs Wally: infrastructure for developers, or a plan for owners?

The 30-second answer

Wally or Loyal-T Cards?

Both are credible. The right one depends on what you want to handle yourself and what you want handled with you.

Choose Wally if

  • You have technical implementation resources and want SDK or API integration at the centre of the program
  • Security certifications and enterprise controls dominate the buying decision
  • You need passes beyond loyalty: tickets, access credentials, membership across systems
  • Usage-based pricing fits your model and you are comfortable requesting a quote

Choose Loyal-T Cards if

  • You are an SME or local business with no developer
  • You want a published annual price you can act on today
  • You want the initial loyalty setup, the branded card and the team onboarding included
  • You want a straightforward staff-run scanner workflow, not an integration project

Direct answers

Is Loyal-T Cards cheaper than Wally?
It cannot be compared on a published number. Wally's Growth plan is priced per active credential with no rate published, and its Enterprise plan is custom, so the cost depends on your quote. Loyal-T Cards is a published US$660 per year for one business location with setup and onboarding included.
Is Wally built for small businesses?
Wally's site addresses both developers and businesses in retail and hospitality, but its product is an API and SDK platform: the loyalty program is built by whoever integrates it. A business without technical resources would need a developer or partner to implement it. Loyal-T Cards is configured for you and operated by your staff.
Does Loyal-T Cards offer an API like Wally?
No. Loyal-T Cards has no public API, SDKs or webhooks. If your program must be integrated into your own software, Wally is the relevant product and Loyal-T Cards is not.

What Wally is, as published.

Wally is a Dubai wallet-pass platform operated by Fifty2 Global Solutions.

Its site lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance and a 99.99% uptime SLA on its Growth plan.

  • Enterprises that need SSO, audit logs, data-residency options and a solutions engineer

Loyal-T Cards is best for

Full pricing details →

There is no like-for-like price. Wally's cost depends on active passes and your quote; Loyal-T Cards' cost is fixed for the year. For an independent business that wants to budget before a conversation, that transparency is the difference. For an enterprise integrating thousands of credentials, usage pricing may be the better model.

Approximate conversions to US dollars use the UAE dirham peg (AED 3.6725 per US$1) and mid-market GBP and EUR rates on 3 September 2026. Rates other than the dirham peg move; check the provider for the price in your billing currency. Loyal-T Cards is priced in US dollars; payment may be shown in your local currency at checkout.

Decision scenarios

Four situations, and which product fits each.

Better fit: Wally

You are building your own app and want wallet passes inside it

Wally's SDKs and API are the right tool. Loyal-T Cards cannot be embedded.

Better fit: Wally

Procurement needs SOC 2 and ISO 27001 documentation before signing

Wally lists both. Loyal-T Cards does not publish security certifications.

Better fit: Loyal-T Cards

You own a cafe, salon or grooming business and want a loyalty card running next month

Loyal-T Cards: published price, setup included, staff-run. Wally would require a developer to build the program.

Better fit: Loyal-T Cards

You want to know the cost before talking to anyone

Loyal-T Cards publishes it. Wally's paid tier is quoted on usage.

Alternative

Looking for a Wally alternative?

Loyal-T Cards is not a developer platform and is not an alternative for teams that need SDKs. It is the alternative for the business owner who looked at Wally, realised it would need a developer, and wants a wallet loyalty program configured and launched for them at a published annual price.

Membership Card

A digital membership card is a loyalty card on the customer's phone that identifies them as a member of your business and shows their membership status, tier and validity, along with the member benefits you configure. With Loyal-T Cards, the card lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, members join by QR code, and your team scans the card to recognise the member and record their visits or benefits.

Common questions about Wally and Loyal-T Cards

Wally publishes a free Build tier for testing, a usage-based Growth tier priced per active credential with no rate published, and a custom Enterprise tier. You need a quote to know the cost of a live program.
Wally is an API and SDK platform, so a program has to be built by a developer or integration partner. Loyal-T Cards is configured for you and run by your staff, with no development.
Loyal-T Cards does not publish SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certifications. Customer data is handled through the loyalty platform described on the privacy page. If certified infrastructure is a procurement requirement, Wally is the more suitable option.
A gym that wants a membership card configured for its front desk and scanned at check-in is a Loyal-T Cards fit. A gym operator building its own member app with access control is a Wally fit.
No. Loyal-T Cards is a separate loyalty platform and does not integrate with Wally. If you move from Wally, your team invites customers to join the new card by QR code at the counter and can record existing progress manually where you choose to honour it.
No. Loyal-T Cards runs alongside the POS, booking or ordering tools you already use. Nothing is synchronised automatically: staff record eligible visits and rewards with the Loyal-T Cards scanner, and the card in the customer's wallet updates.
Loyal-T Cards Annual costs US$660 per year for one business location and includes platform setup, a branded Apple Wallet and Google Wallet loyalty card, the initial loyalty structure, QR join materials, team onboarding and launch support. There is no monthly plan and no free trial. Multi-location setups are available separately by agreement.
