Square Loyalty vs. CHCKN: which loyalty platform is right for you?
Starting a loyalty program is a big step for your business, and finding the right fit can save you time, money, and frustration. Square Loyalty is well-known but has limitations—especially if you’re not already using Square. CHCKN, on the other hand, offers a flexible and affordable way to build loyalty without tying you down. Let’s compare.
Pricing: affordable loyalty starts here
Square Loyalty: Starts at $60/month, and as your customer base grows, so does your bill. For many small businesses, this can quickly add up.
CHCKN: Our most expensive plan is the same as Square’s cheapest—and our prices will never exceed Square’s starting rate. We’re an affordable way to launch a loyalty program without breaking the bank.
Compatibility: no Square? No problem.
Square Loyalty: Works only if you already use Square’s POS. If you’re not, you’ll need to switch your payment system just to use their loyalty program.
CHCKN: Works with any system—or none at all. You can get started immediately without overhauling your existing tools or processes.
Flexibility: it’s not just about transactions
Square Loyalty: Focused on rewarding customers based on transactions—points for purchases, discounts after a certain spend, and so on.
CHCKN: Lets you design loyalty your way. From ambassador programs to exclusive events, you can create a loyalty program that fits your unique business and keeps customers returning.
Independence: no strings attached
Square Loyalty: Ties your loyalty program to their ecosystem. If you switch POS systems, you’ll have to start over.
CHCKN: Works wherever you work. Whether you use Square, another POS, or none at all, CHCKN grows with you—no strings attached.
