Open Loyalty recognized in the Gartner Market Guide for the second year running

For the second year in a row, Open Loyalty has been named a Representative Vendor in the 2026 Gartner® Market Guide for Loyalty Program Vendors.

Being named in Gartner, Inc's Market Guide once could be a good year. Being named twice tells us something more durable: our composable approach to loyalty and gamification is holding up as the market itself evolves.

What back-to-back recognition means to us

A first mention can be a signal. A second one is a pattern. We read this consecutive recognition as confirmation that the direction we set, building a flexible loyalty and gamification engine for agile enterprise teams, is the right one, not a one-time win.

It also reflects two years of the same work: helping brands integrate loyalty into their marketing, product, and data workflows without forcing them into a rigid, all-or-nothing platform.

Thank you to our customers, partners, and team for the consistency that made two consecutive mentions possible.

Understanding the Gartner Market Guide for Loyalty Program Vendors

The Gartner Market Guide for Loyalty Program Vendors gives enterprise buyers a clear view of the loyalty software landscape. It helps teams understand:

• Key trends shaping loyalty programs.
• Features worth prioritizing in a loyalty platform.
• Vendors worth evaluating.

It is not a ranking. It is a reference point for teams building or improving a loyalty program.
