Galxe vs Loyalty Stacker: Web3 Quests Compared

What Galxe and Loyalty Stacker each are

Galxe is one of the largest public Web3 quest and credential networks. Brands create a Space, publish quests on app.galxe.com, and reward participants with on-chain credentials. Its signature primitive is the OAT (on-chain achievement token), alongside NFTs and loyalty points. Galxe leans into discovery: an Explore page, Hot Spaces trending lists and homepage carousels route its existing audience to your campaign. It also ships Sybil-resistance tooling and supports a wide chain set, including non-EVM networks like Solana, Aptos and Sui. The trade-off is that campaigns live on Galxe's domain under Galxe branding, and claiming rewards involves on-chain transactions and fees paid in crypto.

Loyalty Stacker by Gizmolab is a white-label, multi-tenant engagement platform. Everything runs under your own brand and domain: quests, a points and rewards engine, referrals, leaderboards, a rewards shop, badges, daily check-in streaks, and Apple and Google Wallet loyalty cards with a staff scanner for in-person stamping. It covers the full social quest set (Discord, X, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Telegram) and a creator clipping module with CPM or flat payouts. Its Web3 side verifies on-chain activity read-only through Alchemy across EVM chains plus TON, and it can mint NFTs and issue soulbound credentials. The deliberate boundary: Loyalty Stacker does not pay rewards out on-chain automatically. On-chain checks confirm eligibility, then the reward is granted inside your program. If you are weighing public quest boards generally, our Zealy vs Galxe breakdown covers that adjacent decision.

Mechanic deep-dive: real values for each side

1. 1
   Quests

   Loyalty Stacker: social quests across Discord, X, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Telegram, plus on-chain quests that read wallet, NFT and token state through Alchemy to gate rewards. Galxe: quest tasks span on-chain actions, social follows, Galxe Passport credentials and partner integrations, rewarding OATs or points on completion. Both verify task completion before issuing the reward.

2. 2
   Points & rewards

   Loyalty Stacker: a configurable points and rewards engine with a rewards shop, badges and daily check-in streaks, all redeemable inside your branded program. Galxe: Loyalty Points accrue per Space and can unlock OATs, NFTs or raffles, but claiming a reward is an on-chain action with a fee.

3. 3
   Referrals & leaderboards

   Loyalty Stacker: native referrals plus leaderboards out of the box, tied to your points economy. Galxe: referral and invite tasks exist as quest components, with leaderboard insights and loyalty-point breakdowns surfaced in paid Business+ analytics.

4. 4
   Wallet passes

   Loyalty Stacker: issues Apple and Google Wallet loyalty cards (stamp, points or membership) with a staff scanner for in-person redemption, bridging digital quests to a physical counter. Galxe: no Apple or Google Wallet pass product; credentials live on-chain as OATs and NFTs.

5. 5
   On-chain verification

   Loyalty Stacker: read-only via Alchemy across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche and TON; it confirms a wallet holds an NFT, token or history, then grants the reward in-program with no automatic crypto payout. See on-chain quests for how eligibility gating works. Galxe: issues credentials on-chain and supports a broader chain set including non-EVM, so claims settle as blockchain transactions with gas and claim fees.

6. 6
   Creator clipping & check-ins

   Loyalty Stacker: a dedicated creator clipping module with CPM or flat payouts, tracking codes and budget caps, plus daily check-in streaks to drive habitual returns. Galxe: no equivalent clipping module; engagement is driven through quests and credential campaigns rather than creator payouts.

Pricing and plans reality (verified June 14, 2026)

Galxe. Advanced campaign features sit behind a paid Business+ subscription. Per Galxe's Help Center, tiers are Essentials at $999/month billed annually ($11,988/year) or $1,166/month billed quarterly, Growth at $1,699/month annually ($20,388/year) or $1,999/month quarterly, and Enterprise on custom pricing. There is no free trial, and plans bill quarterly or annually only. Separately, claiming rewards (Loyalty Points, OATs or NFTs) carries a claim fee with a base of $0.08 per claim on the Gravity network, paid in G tokens, discounted up to 75% by Loyalty Level. Payments are accepted in stablecoins (USDT, USDC, G) across Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Base and Gravity. So the real cost of a Galxe program is subscription plus per-claim crypto fees plus any reward budget.

Loyalty Stacker. Pricing is not published as public self-serve tiers. As a white-label, multi-tenant platform it is quoted per brand or per agency, scaled to tenants and modules. Because its on-chain layer is read-only verification rather than on-chain issuance, there are no protocol claim fees or gas passed to your members when they redeem in-program rewards. We do not list a public dollar figure here because it is account-specific. If you are scoping a switch, the Galxe alternative overview lays out what to ask for.

Where Loyalty Stacker wins

Loyalty Stacker wins whenever the brand, the domain and the audience must be yours. Campaigns are not hosted on a shared marketplace; members land on your site, see your branding, and their data stays in your tenant. It is the only option here that reaches a physical counter through Apple and Google Wallet cards plus a staff scanner, which matters enormously for retail, restaurants and event activations. Its Web2 breadth is far wider: the complete social quest set, referrals, a rewards shop, badges, streaks and a creator clipping module with budget caps and tracking codes. For agencies, the multi-tenant white-label model means one platform powering many client programs, each fully branded. And the read-only on-chain model removes a real operational headache: no gas to fund, no per-claim crypto fee to explain to mainstream customers, and on-chain still usable to gate rewards by NFT or token ownership.

Where Galxe wins

Galxe wins when the goal is public, on-chain credential distribution at scale. If you are running an airdrop-style campaign, seeding a token launch, or issuing verifiable proof-of-participation that lives on the blockchain, OATs are purpose-built and Galxe issues them natively with gas-backed settlement. Its chain coverage is broader, notably extending beyond EVM to Solana, Aptos and Sui, so projects on those ecosystems are served directly. Galxe also brings a built-in audience: Explore listings, Hot Spaces and homepage placements can route its existing users to your quests, which is genuine acquisition rather than only engaging people you already have. Finally, its Sybil-resistance and bot-detection tooling is mature, which is critical when real on-chain value is at stake. For a brand whose core need is to mint on-chain credentials and reach the Web3 crowd, Galxe is the stronger fit, and honestly so.

Verdict: which to choose

Pick based on what you are optimizing for.

• Retail, restaurant, app or game brands that want loyalty across in-store and online should choose Loyalty Stacker. Wallet cards, a staff scanner, points and social quests under your own brand have no equivalent on Galxe.
• Web3 projects running airdrops or credential drops to a wide, discoverable audience should choose Galxe. On-chain OATs, broad non-EVM chains and a public marketplace are exactly its strengths.
• Agencies and platforms serving many clients should choose Loyalty Stacker for its multi-tenant white-label model.
• Teams that want Web3 mechanics without crypto friction for end users should choose Loyalty Stacker, where on-chain verifies eligibility read-only and rewards are granted in-program with no gas or claim fees passed to members.

The one-line rule: if on-chain is the deliverable, choose Galxe; if on-chain is a signal you use to power a branded Web2 plus Web3 program, choose Loyalty Stacker.
