# Amazon Shopping vs Store Cards・Loyalty Programs

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Store Cards・Loyalty Programs at 70% against Amazon Shopping's 24%. Amazon Shopping's advantage is ratings volume (8.4M vs 230) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Amazon Shopping sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Store Cards・Loyalty Programs sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Amazon Shopping holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amazon Shopping has 8.4M ratings behind it against 230, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Amazon Shopping's written reviews are positive against 70% of Store Cards・Loyalty Programs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Amazon Shopping ships an update fortnightly, Store Cards・Loyalty Programs every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
