Conduit Mobile (renamed Como) has a DIY mobile app builder that allows you to create your own loyalty app. You can brand the app and set up coupons and loyalty cards.

3. Smarter Remarketer
If you want to to really scale your customer loyalty program, look into Smarter Remarketer. The founder, Angel Morales, is quite possibly the most brilliant mind in online retail and his product proves it.

4. InfusionSoft
I’ve been through several SaaS products and none can compare to InfusionSoft. There’s a reason I’ve used it for years, when often I pick up and drop so many other SaaS systems simply because they promise something flashy and fail to follow up. InfusionSoft allows me to interact with my customers intelligently.
– Rob Fulton, Matikis
5. Curebit
Curebit is one of the best customer referral and loyalty programs on the market. They’re a relatively young startup, and have a very simple-to-use program to enable brands to get their customers to share products. We find incredible value in rewarding advocates who spread the word, and Curebit makes this easy.

– Adam Lieb, Duxter
8. Loyalty Gator
Loyalty Gator offers tons of options in setting up your loyalty program to best suit your business. They offer reasonable pricing and unlimited transactions as well.
