1 month of LoyaltyLion costs what Loyalora costs once.

Buy once

How we counted: Flat monthly with an order allowance. This is the entry plan, not the top one: $199/mo is $2,388 a year, $7,164 over three years, and the 500-order allowance is included rather than unlimited. Only Classic carries a published figure - the two tiers above it read Custom.

How LoyaltyLion pricing grows

LoyaltyLion's entry plan is $199 a month and still caps the orders it covers at 500 per month; volume above that moves you up the ladder.

What LoyaltyLion does that we don't

LoyaltyLion's entry plan includes a branded loyalty page built for you, pre-built earning rules and a Klaviyo integration with ready-made email flows.

Who should stay with LoyaltyLion

If you need loyalty emails firing automatically through Klaviyo and a done-for-you branded loyalty page, stay with LoyaltyLion - Loyalora sends no marketing email of any kind, by design and by test.

What Loyalora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.

Why owning beats renting LoyaltyLion.

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in LoyaltyLion's cloud.

No plan ceilings

Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Loyalora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off LoyaltyLion.

Why is there no balance column?
Because a stored total is a second source of truth, and it starts lying the first time anything fails between writing the entry and updating the total. The balance is SUM(points) over the ledger, so the number and its explanation are the same object.
Can it send campaigns or a newsletter?
No, and it is not going to. There are no campaigns, no lists, no segments and no send-to-all. The only message it produces is one customer's own balance, to that customer, when you press Email balance on their card after switching it on. A test greps the whole product for a mail-in-a-loop and for campaign, broadcast, bulk-send and segment symbols.
Does it connect to my till or take payments?
It holds no card numbers and processes no payments. Your till can send each sale through the API, once per sale, and Loyalora's own rate decides the points; a refund takes them back. It integrates with no e-commerce platform.
What stops two people redeeming the same points at once?
The redemption opens a write transaction and re-reads the balance inside the lock before committing. Checking first and writing after loses that race silently; this does not, on SQLite and on MySQL/MariaDB alike.
