Is it actually free?

Yes, genuinely free to start, with no catch. Here's exactly what the free plan gives you.

Free for your first 50 regulars

Run a full digital loyalty programme at no cost while you prove it works. You only move to a paid tier once you grow past 50 regulars.

No per-transaction fees

Some loyalty apps take a cut of every reward redeemed. Lekka never does, at any tier. A successful programme costs you nothing extra.

No setup fee, no contract

Sign up, set your reward, print your QR code, and go live. No onboarding cost, no lock-in, cancel any time.

No hardware to buy

No NFC pucks, no stamping devices, nothing to ship or replace. A printed QR code on your counter is all you need.

The free loyalty app where customers don't need an app

Most loyalty apps make your customers download something, and you lose a big share of them at exactly the moment they'd sign up. Lekka flips that.

A customer scanning a Lekka QR code to collect a stamp

They scan

A customer scans the QR code on your counter. It opens in their phone's browser, with no app store, no download and no waiting.

Free loyalty card app: FAQs

Yes. Lekka is a free loyalty card app built for South African small businesses. The free tier covers your first 50 regulars, with no setup fee, no per-transaction fees, and no hardware to buy, so you can run a real digital loyalty programme at no cost while you prove it works.

Lekka is free to start and free for your first 50 regulars, with no setup costs, no per-transaction fees, and no contract. As your loyalty base grows beyond the free tier, you move to a flat monthly fee in rands billed by EFT invoice. There are no hidden per-transaction charges at any tier, and customers always join free.

No, and that's the point. Your customers don't download anything. They scan a QR code at your counter and collect stamps in their phone's browser. Lekka is the loyalty app you run; for your customers it's just a quick scan, which is exactly why adoption is higher than apps that make customers install something.

There isn't a hidden one. Some 'free' loyalty apps make money by charging a fee on every reward redeemed, locking you into hardware, or requiring your customers to download an app (which loses you sign-ups). Lekka's free tier is genuinely free for your first 50 regulars, with no per-transaction fees and no customer app. You only pay a flat monthly fee once you grow.

A paper stamp card gets lost, is anonymous, and tells you nothing. A free loyalty card app keeps the customer's progress on their phone, captures their details so you can message and re-engage them, and shows you who's actually returning, all the things a paper card can't do, at the same zero cost to start.

Only once your loyalty programme has more than 50 regulars, at which point it's clearly working and paying its way. Paid tiers are a flat monthly fee in rands based on the size of your business, with no per-transaction fees and no contract. See the pricing page for the current tiers.
