ARTSTAMP LIMITED

What ARTSTAMP LIMITED does

Artstamp Limited, founded in 2024 and headquartered in Leicester, United Kingdom, operates a free mobile loyalty application targeting the cultural sector — specifically museums, galleries, art fairs, exhibitions, performances, and other cultural events. The consumer-facing product is a free iOS and Android app in which visitors scan QR codes at participating venues to collect unique, non-transferable digital art stamps that are stored in a personal digital wallet. Collected stamps can unlock exclusive content from artists, including sneak peeks, previews, and announcements, and venues run prize-draw mechanics to incentivize complete stamp collection.

The underlying technology is a mobile application with QR code scanning, a digital stamp ledger, and a partner-facing web platform hosted at artstamp.com/partners. The partner suite comprises a Custom Stamp Design Tool (allowing venues to brand their digital stamps), an Analytics Dashboard (providing insights into visitor engagement and stamp collection trends), and Event Listing Integration (linking stamps to specific exhibitions or performances). The application is publicly credited to 'the unloved' (theunloved.co.uk) as its developer, indicating an outsourced or studio-based build relationship rather than an in-house engineering organization of disclosed scale.

Artstamp's business model is a two-sided platform. The consumer side is fully free with no in-app purchases, generating no direct consumer revenue. The B2B side monetizes cultural venues and event organizers through a partnership model that the source material characterizes as 'subscription_recurring,' though specific pricing tiers, contract terms, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Distribution is global via the App Store and Google Play Store on the consumer side, with direct outreach and a partner registration form on the company website on the B2B side. As of the available data, only one venue partner (LCB Depot in Leicester) is visibly active on the platform, tied to the LCB Summer Affordable Art Fair running 27 June – 15 August 2025.

Broad incumbents

• Stocard: Stocard is a widely adopted mobile loyalty wallet that aggregates retailer stamp and points cards. Comparable as a broader loyalty incumbent that could trivially extend into cultural venues, threatening Artstamp's category.
• Yoyo: Yoyo is a mobile loyalty, payments, and customer-engagement platform used by retailers and event operators. It is comparable as a broader loyalty/engagement incumbent whose QR- and app-based mechanics overlap with Artstamp's collection architecture.
• Tessitura Network: Tessitura is an established CRM, ticketing, and audience-engagement platform built specifically for arts and cultural organisations. It is comparable as a broad incumbent serving the same cultural-venue buyers with a much wider software suite.
• PatronBase: PatronBase provides CRM, ticketing, and marketing tools to UK theatres, galleries, and cultural venues. Comparable as a broader software incumbent that competes for the same cultural-venue IT/engagement budget as Artstamp's B2B layer.
• Google Arts & Culture: Google Arts & Culture offers free digital guides, collections, and on-site engagement features for museums and cultural institutions globally. Comparable as a broad incumbent that overlaps with Artstamp's on-site visitor engagement use case but at much larger scale and for free.
• Accesso Technology Group: Accesso sells ticketing, point-of-sale, and guest-engagement software to theme parks, attractions, and cultural venues. It is a broad incumbent that addresses the same venue-side buyer with engagement and analytics tools similar in spirit to Artstamp's partner dashboard.

Direct peers

• Stamp Me: Stamp Me is a digital loyalty-stamp app where consumers collect stamps via QR codes at participating businesses. It is directly comparable to Artstamp's QR-stamp collection mechanic, though Stamp Me focuses on retail/consumer brands rather than cultural venues.
• Cuseum: Cuseum provides digital engagement tools (AR, interactive content, beacons) for museums and cultural venues. It is directly comparable because it sells a B2B platform to the same cultural-venue buyer that Artstamp targets, focused on turning physical visits into more engaging experiences.
• Smartify: Smartify is a mobile app that lets museum and gallery visitors scan artworks to access digital content and build a personal collection. It is directly comparable to Artstamp's consumer-facing app and QR-based stamp collection tied to specific artworks and venues.

Emerging players

• Gatherly: Gatherly provides engagement and networking tools for virtual and hybrid events. It is an emerging player in the event-engagement space, comparable to Artstamp's mission of driving event attendee interaction through digital tools.
