RevioFivestars is built for big chains that link it to their POS. Revio is a Fivestars alternative for shops of any size. It works with a POS or without one.
Fivestars is a full loyalty and marketing tool. It is built mostly for chains and franchises. It links deep into your POS, the till you use to take payments. That helps if your POS is one it works with. But it also ties you to that POS. Setup can be slow, and it is hard to change things.
For small and growing shops, that deep POS link can mean weeks of setup. You may need tech support each time you want a change. Fivestars also tends to charge big-company prices. That is hard to justify for one shop or a small budget.
Revio works on its own. You don’t need a POS link, but you can add one. You can launch a full loyalty card in under an hour. You don’t need your POS company or a tech team. If you are growing and want strong loyalty tools without the hassle, Revio is a good choice.
Fivestars links deep into the big POS systems. Its marketing tools are well built. For large chains that already use a POS it works with, rewards are tied to the till. They come up on their own at checkout.
