Overview

Belly was one of the first digital loyalty platforms for local businesses. The one with the iPad at the counter. It rebranded to Mobivity and shifted focus. The tablet check-in model feels dated now, and there's no churn prediction and no POS integration. If you're still on Belly/Mobivity, it's probably time to move on.
