LevelUp 2026 Overview: Pricing, Ratings & Details

LevelUp, based in Boston, Massachusetts, is looking to revolutionize the way payments are received. The goal of LevelUp is to eventually be able to move money between customers and businesses for free. With the LevelUp gamified mobile payment system, they have been able to cut a flat payment processing fee for businesses down to 1.95%.  

The LevelUp gamification application is a free-to-use mobile payment system.  It's engineered for security, easy of use, and rewards.  Currently LevelUp is accepted at over 14,000 locations nationwide including Chop't, Juice Press, and Zaxbys.  LevelUp's payment system supports mobile payments for iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone using QR codes, NFC, and Bluetooth Low-Energy (e.g. iBeacon). Customers who use the LevelUp payment system provide the member businesses with robust demographic information, including names, income, locations, and habits. Every payment unlocks further customer insights. 

The gamified campaigns administered by LevelUp helps engage current customers and also encourages them to share their transaction with their friends on social media, helping to capture new customers for your business with powerful, word-of-mouth advertising. Current customers can "gift" discounts or other products to their friends to encourage them to try your business, and redeemed "gifts" are tracked to encourage more "gifting".
