Kynth Winback vs Fivestars

Winning back a lapsed regular shouldn't cost $269 a month.

Fivestars — now SumUp Connect — is the full loyalty stack: a touchscreen at checkout, points and rewards, AutoPilot text campaigns, and a consumer network that puts your offers in front of new customers. It starts at $269 a month. Kynth Winback does one job from that stack — spotting the regulars who've gone quiet and drafting the offer that brings them back — for a flat $19 a month. Here's the honest comparison.

Kynth Winback
$19/mo flat — you keep 100%

No success fee, no usage meter, no demo call. 30-day money-back guarantee.

Connect Plus is $269 a month — $3,228 a year — and caps AI-written messages at 2 per month; unlimited AI messaging means the $349/mo Pro plan. Kynth Winback drafts an offer around every lapsed regular for $19 a month, and nothing sends until you approve it.

The honest recommendation

Pick Fivestars if…
  • You want the full checkout loyalty experience — a touchscreen at the register where every visit earns points, with the hardware included in the plan.
  • You want set-and-forget marketing: AutoPilot text campaigns that keep running without anyone approving each message.
  • You want new-customer acquisition too — SumUp's consumer network shows your offers to people already shopping nearby, which a pure win-back tool will never do.
Pick Kynth Winback if…
  • The problem is drifting regulars, not missing loyalty points — you want just the win-back piece at $19/mo instead of the $269+/mo platform.
  • You want to read every offer before it goes out — one draft per lapsed customer, written in your voice, approve, edit, or skip.
  • You want to start tonight, self-serve, and judge it by returned visits in dollars — with a 30-day money-back guarantee, no demo call.
