Joyn alternatives: ten options compared in 2026

The best alternative to Joyn depends on why you are looking: price, contract length, a card without an app or a different kind of shop. Fidelia wrote this page and is one of the options, so we put the criteria first and keep every comparison equal.

Written by Fidelia. We compare published plans like for like and link each vendor's own page with the date we checked it. Spot something out of date? Write to hello@fidelia.se.

Short answer: you choose a Joyn alternative based on what you want to change. If you want a shorter contract, look at Fidelia, Goodly, Fiddo or FidelUp. If you want a wallet card without an app, Fidelia, Goodly, FidelUp and Stampzer are options. Fidelia wrote this page, so read our own description with that in mind. The details for the others come from their own pages, checked on 25 October 2026.

What does Joyn do, and what do you want to change?

Joyn has three plans: Lite (€19.95), Connect (€59.95) and Expert (€79.95) a month when paid monthly, excluding VAT and on an annual contract. Customers collect points with the Joyn app or a Joyn card. Cards cost from €30 and the Joyn Box €50. Joyn itself reports more than 2.2 million cardholders and more than 3,000 merchants (their figures). For what you pay and how long you are tied in, see our Fidelia vs Joyn comparison and our guide to digital loyalty cards. Joyn remains a good choice for many shops; this is not a call to leave.

Which criteria do we use?

No scores or rankings, because every shop wants something different. Each alternative gets the same questions:

  1. Price and what is included, with VAT noted when the provider states it.
  2. Limits on customers, scans, staff or locations.
  3. Wallet card without an app for the customer.
  4. Trial and contract length.
  5. Fit for Belgian shops: languages, works alongside your till or Bancontact terminal.

Fidelia comes first, the rest in alphabetical order.

How do you switch from Joyn?

  1. Check your contract: start date and cancellation date. Joyn asks for 30 days’ notice before the end via joyn.be/stop.
  2. Create your new card with the same reward, so regulars recognise it.
  3. Run both side by side until the cancellation date, with the new QR stand next to the old one.
  4. Cancel Joyn in time. Under the terms, you honour points for another month after the end.

Questions

Why do merchants look for a Joyn alternative?

It varies. Often it is the contract length, the cost of cards and hardware, or wanting a card in the phone's wallet rather than a dedicated app. Joyn itself has a large network and a clear pricing model, so for many shops it remains a good choice.

What does Joyn cost?

According to Joyn (checked on 25 October 2026), Lite, Connect and Expert cost €19.95, €59.95 and €79.95 a month when paid monthly, and €16.96, €50.96 and €67.96 when paid annually. Prices exclude VAT and apply to an annual contract.

Can I simply cancel Joyn?

Under the terms and conditions (art. 11.1), the first contract runs one year and renews annually unless you cancel at least 30 days before the end using the form at joyn.be/stop. Always check your own contract.
