The short version
Highlightcards wins on card breadth today, and it is not close: eight card types to our three, including the coupon, discount, gift and multipass types we have not built. Choose Fidei when the card you actually need is a stamp, points or membership card and what you want on top is EU and Brazilian billing, four languages, and a consent record you can defend.

A dash means we could not confirm that capability on the competitor's own site — not that it is missing.
Where they beat us
Eight card types against our three — stamps, cashback, discount, coupon, rewards, membership, gift and multipass, all listed on their site. Coupon and discount cards are on our backlog and are not shipped; gift and multipass need a payment provider we have not chosen. They also send notifications triggered by a customer's location, which we do not.
Choose them if Highlightcards
- You need coupon, discount, gift or multipass cards. We do not have them, and this table will say so until we do.
- Notifying a customer when they walk past the shop is central to your plan.
- The lowest possible entry price matters more than the currency it is charged in — their annual billing starts lower than ours.
Choose Fidei if
- Your card is a stamp, points or membership card, and the other five types are options you would never switch on.
- You are invoiced in Europe or Brazil and want a list price in euros or reais rather than a dollar amount that moves with the exchange rate.
- You want the product itself — not only the marketing pages — in English, French, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese.
- You need an append-only record of what every member consented to, tied to the version of the document they actually saw.
Questions
Fidei has three card types and Highlightcards has eight. Does that matter?
Only if you would use the other five. Most independent shops run exactly one card. The types we are missing that shops genuinely ask for are coupon and discount cards, and both are on our backlog. If you need them today, Highlightcards has them and we do not.
Which one is cheaper?
Highlightcards' monthly list starts at 25 US dollars and drops on annual billing; Fidei's Starter plan is 39 euros, or 49 reais in Brazil. Both were read off the respective sites on 20 August 2026. For a business invoiced in euros or reais the comparison is not only the number — a dollar subscription usually adds an exchange spread and a cross-border card fee on top.
Can I sell prepaid bundles or paid memberships through Fidei?
You can run membership cards with tiers, but you cannot take payment for them through Fidei. We have not chosen a payment provider: the Peppol e-invoicing requirement in Belgium makes that a decision worth making once, properly. Highlightcards connects Stripe for this.
What does the consent ledger actually give me?
Every opt-in, opt-out and erasure request is written to an append-only record tied to the version of the privacy notice the member actually saw. When somebody asks what they agreed to — or a regulator does — the answer is a record rather than a reconstruction.
