Sticky and SpringBig, compared
SpringBig helped a generation of dispensaries get loyalty off the ground, back when a downloadable app was the standard answer. Sticky is built around the wallet pass, Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, so enrolling is one tap and the card is already on the lock screen the next time a customer walks in. Same outcome, none of the install friction.
Pick Sticky Cards if you want loyalty to live in the wallet your customers already carry, with nothing to install. Stay with SpringBig if your customers already use its app and the program is doing what you need.

When SpringBig is the better fit
If most of your members already have the SpringBig app and use it, moving them costs you effort and a stretch of re-enrolment. That is worth weighing honestly against what a wallet pass would gain you.
If you are partway through a SpringBig term, the cheapest time to move is your renewal date. Find it before you plan anything.

Questions we get
What is the main difference between Sticky Cards and SpringBig?
Where the loyalty card lives. SpringBig is app-based, so a customer installs an app to join. Sticky Cards issues a real Apple Wallet or Google Wallet pass, so joining is a scan and a tap, and the card is already on the phone the next time they walk in.
What contract terms does SpringBig use?
SpringBig's own quarterly filing says its subscriptions "generally have twelve-month terms (which typically are not subject to early termination without a cancellation fee payable by the client), are payable monthly, and automatically renew for subsequent and recurring twelve-month periods unless notice of cancellation is provided in advance" (Form 10-Q, quarter ended 31 March 2026). Check your own agreement for the renewal date and notice period before you plan a move.
Can I move my SpringBig members to Sticky Cards?
Yes. We move your lists, loyalty balances and creative, and reconcile every balance against your source export. Plan the move around your SpringBig renewal date so you are not paying for both.
Does Sticky Cards charge a setup fee?
No. There is no setup fee. Pricing is built on your store count and volume and quoted on a 30-minute call.
