Magic Stamp alternative
A Magic Stamp alternative with no app and no stamper
Magic Stamp and Komweer are both digital stamp cards. With Magic Stamp, customers download the Magic Stamp app and your staff stamp it with a Magic Stamp stamper. With Komweer, customers scan a QR code with their phone camera and the card opens in their browser: no app, no special device. Here's how they compare on price and features.
Last updated 19 Oct 2026. Magic Stamp prices are from a quote sent to a South African shop in September 2025 (a promotional offer at the time), and its features from its App Store listing and the quote. Prices and features change, so check with Magic Stamp before you decide. Spotted something out of date? Email [email protected].

Questions about Magic Stamp alternatives
Is there a Magic Stamp alternative that doesn't need an app?
Yes. With Komweer, customers scan a QR code with their phone camera and their stamp card opens in the browser. They confirm their email once; after that each visit is one scan. Nothing to download.
How much does Magic Stamp cost in South Africa?
A quote sent to a South African shop in September 2025 listed Basic at R525 a month (R5,250 a year) and Growth at R795 a month (R7,950 a year), as a promotional offer. Check with Magic Stamp for current prices. Komweer is free for up to 100 active customers, then R199 a month.
Do I need a stamper or special device for a digital stamp card?
Not with Komweer. Any phone, tablet or laptop at your counter shows the stamp code, or your staff scan the code on the customer's card with a phone.
Can my customers move their Magic Stamp stamps to Komweer?
Stamps can't be transferred between apps. Keep honouring Magic Stamp cards until they're full, and give a welcome bonus on Komweer so regulars get a head start.
Is a digital stamp card safe from cheating?
Komweer's counter code changes every 25 seconds and works once, so photos and screenshots don't work. You can set a daily limit and a waiting time between stamps, and every stamp is logged with the staff member and time.
Try Komweer free, with the device you already have.
No app for customers, no stamper, no contract.
