When to consider Tesserando
Tesserando may fit better if you want Apple/Google Wallet, retention data, team tools, campaigns or external integrations and are prepared to choose a plan that includes them. Its site associates APIs and multi-location management with Ultra; do not assume they are in Starter. Its calculator uses user-entered values, so treat its output as a hypothetical scenario rather than a guaranteed result for your business.
Where Iterum may fit
Iterum may fit better if you want a visit programme with a web card opened by QR or link, without a customer app or account after the privacy notice. Staff confirm visits and the reward threshold is configurable. Iterum does not replace the till or automatically record spend; check the current plan page for included features.
