Quick comparison

Why teams switch
What businesses find limiting about Joyn
Belgium-only coverage
Joyn has limited presence outside Belgium. If you operate in the Netherlands, Germany, or other EU countries, Joyn cannot follow.
Customer data is shared across the network
In a network model, customer behavior data is pooled. You do not fully own or control your customer relationships.
How does Punchly replace Joyn?
Your loyalty, your customers, your data — independent from any network.
Step 1
Create your own loyalty card
Set your reward rules and brand your card. No shared network — your loyalty program is entirely yours.
Step 2
Customers scan in the browser
No Joyn app or physical card required. Customers scan a QR code and access their card in the phone browser.
Step 3
Expand beyond Belgium
Punchly works across Europe with 6 languages. Grow into the Netherlands, Germany, or anywhere else without switching platforms.
