Clutch does not publish prices. The gift card page mentions fixed-fee pricing with no global transaction fees, but no plans or amounts are shown.

Questions to take
to a demo

  1. How is Clutch priced across its five modules, and can we license loyalty and stored value without the CDP and orchestration modules?
  2. Is your integration with our POS certified for real-time earn and redeem at the register, including offline mode?
  3. How do stored value balances, breakage and settlement between franchise locations show up in finance reporting?
  4. What do the AI offer and churn models use as inputs, and can our team review and override the offers before they go out?
  5. Which of our channels can Clutch send to directly (email, SMS, MMS, direct mail), and which need our existing tools?
