Essent Loyalty Program Rewards edges out Steppun Discount on rating (5.0★ vs 4.8★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing entry tiers: Essent Loyalty Program Rewards at Free plan available, Steppun Discount at Free trial available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Essent Loyalty Program Rewards has the larger user base (476 reviews vs 40), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Steppun Discount's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Essent Loyalty Program Rewards; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Steppun Discount's 40-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Essent Loyalty Program Rewards's broader-but-shallower coverage.
