Legacy loyalty is broken. Many Punchh programs fail to drive participation above 5-10% and rely heavily on expensive promotions that train customers to wait for the next discount. Thanx offers an alternative that actually grows customer lifetime value the way a loyalty program should.
80% of consumers join Thanx-powered loyalty programs through our industry-leading web ordering experiences.
Punchh relies on app downloads for guests to engage with your loyalty program creating an enormous barrier for the 80% of your customers who will never download your mobile app.
Thanx’s approach to loyalty enrollment is a game changer for growing your customer database. 100% of digital purchasers become loyalty members. As a result, Thanx delivers 15x more signups than Punchh, quarter after quarter.
Generic discounts rarely achieve higher than 15% redemption rates. Thanx targeted non-discount rewards achieve 45%+ redemption rates.

Many Punchh loyalty programs track only 5% of total revenue. Thanx customers routinely achieve 20% or higher participation rates in just the first few weeks after launch.
Punchh programs require your customers to identify themselves to earn progress (by scanning a QR code, uploading a receipt, or giving their phone number to a staff member).
With Thanx, guests pay with a registered card and Thanx handles the rest. Thanx user experiences never allow guest checkout and keep customers signed in. Because it’s effortless, merchants using Thanx capture 57% more purchases than Punchh (based on data from real Punchh customers)*.
Thanx is more effective at activating your customers and encouraging repeat purchases.
Punchh offers no A/B testing capability and running campaigns to activate your newly acquired customers is a completely manual process.
Thanx offers purpose-built tools for activating and converting more customers into repeat guests. Better, easier-to-use marketing tools and ordering that’s designed for conversion are just two of the reasons that Thanx drives 15% higher frequency overall.
Branded apps built by Punchh regularly slip below 4 stars. Thanx-built apps in the Apple store have an average 4.9-star rating.
Punchh charges a per location per month fee for branded mobile apps. And depending on what package you buy, you might get one, maybe two updates a year.
Thanx updates and maintains all of our branded apps weekly for free. When we make improvements, we roll them out to all apps, automatically. Our approach removes the hassle for IT and keeps our apps fresh. That’s why Thanx apps average 4.9 stars.
