Comparison
A Brewstamp alternative for more than coffee
Brewstamp is cheap and good at exactly one thing: stamps for coffee shops. Sharaftona costs more and does considerably more. If you run a café and only want stamps, read the honest part below first.
- From $15/month
- Native Arabic (RTL)
- Cashback & gift rewards
- 14-day trial, no card
Where Sharaftona differs
Both deliver real Apple and Google Wallet passes. Brewstamp is a coffee stamp card. Sharaftona is a loyalty platform.
Not built for one industry
Brewstamp's product and copy are written for coffee shops, down to a corporate perk mode for subsidised staff coffee. Sharaftona ships eight industry playbooks — restaurants, salons, gyms, clinics, car washes, retail, barbers and pet shops — each with its own reward mechanic and counter flow.
Five reward mechanics, not stamps alone
Brewstamp counts stamps: 100 free, then unlimited. Sharaftona runs stamps, points, cashback as spendable balance, a gift catalogue and tiers, all on the entry plan. For a business with a wide ticket range, a stamp is the wrong unit.
Arabic across the whole product
Brewstamp is published in English. Sharaftona's dashboard, staff scanner, customer sign-up page and the wallet card all run in native Arabic with right-to-left layout, on every plan.
Marketing that runs itself
Daily segmentation into VIP, at-risk, new and dormant, with campaign copy drafted in Arabic and English, plus birthday automation and push broadcasts. Brewstamp lists customer insights and analytics; the campaigns are where Sharaftona goes further.

Which one should you actually choose?
Be honest about what your business actually needs.
Brewstamp is $7 a month and puts a real Apple and Google Wallet pass in your customer's phone even on its free plan. That is genuinely good value and we are not going to argue with it.
The question is not which product is better. It is whether a stamp card is the right instrument for your business.
If you run a café and want stamps, Brewstamp is cheaper
Buy nine, get the tenth. One shop, unlimited stamps, wallet passes included, $7 a month. For an independent coffee shop that wants exactly that and nothing more, it costs less than half what we charge and does the job.
We would rather tell you that than have you pay us for capability you will never switch on.
If your ticket size varies, stamps are the wrong unit
A stamp treats a 12 dirham espresso and a 300 dirham hair treatment identically. For a salon, a clinic, a car wash or a shop with a range of prices, that is not a loyalty programme — it is a discount on your most expensive customers.
Points, cashback and tiers scale the reward with what was actually spent. Sharaftona gives you all of them on the entry plan, so you can change mechanic without changing platform.
And if your customers read Arabic
Brewstamp is an English-language product. Sharaftona was bilingual from the first commit, right through to the pass in the wallet.
In the Gulf that decides how many people finish signing up at the counter, which is the only number that matters in the first month.
Questions
- Yes — $7 a month against $15, as published in August 2026, and its free plan includes wallet passes for your first 100 stamps. If stamps are all you need, it is the cheaper choice.
When a stamp card stops being enough
