Fivestars is being absorbed into Clover Rewards (under SumUp), which forces a decision for a lot of merchants. MemberZone adds memberships and loyalty beyond points with portable data and no monthly fee; POS-agnostic apps like LoyaltyPass or Loopy give you wallet passes and independence; your POS's native loyalty is the path of least resistance if you're committed to one register. Choose by whether you want memberships, portability, or simple bundled points.
