Como Sense alternative
Bargly vs Como Sense
Como Sense (Como) is enterprise-grade loyalty tech used by chains in more than 30 countries. Bargly takes a different path: built for the corner shop, not the chain, with a shopper community included, pass-by tech that turns walk-pasts into walk-ins, and published pricing instead of a sales cycle. Where they win, we say so.

The Bargly Loop
Loyalty should feel easy
We help local shops get discovered, capture clients, share offers, reward regulars, and keep customers coming back, without any new hardware. Your next regular customer may already be walking past.
From
“oh, this place looks nice”
to “I’m coming back.”
Bargly connects the little moments that turn someone nearby into someone who returns.
Discover

Save

Visit
They show up with a reason, a deal, a stamp, a reward, or simple curiosity.
Scan
The shop confirms the visit with a quick QR scan.
Return

Ten campaign types, no new hardware, at a fraction of the price.
