The verdict
LoyaltyLion is a strong tool for Shopify brands that sell mostly online, with good analytics and integrations. For a café, salon or shop that sells at a counter, it is the wrong fit: it only works through Shopify, and the useful paid plan starts at $199/mo. The free plan is worth a look only if you already sell on Shopify.
