Kangaroo lists twelve industries. Velarya serves yours.

Yes. Velarya is a patient loyalty platform for healthcare and beauty practices, including med spas, dental and orthodontic practices, dermatology, spas and salons. Your practice’s own app can be published under your own Apple developer account, and Velarya signs a Business Associate Agreement because the program holds patient data.

Yes. A loyalty program knows who your patients are and what they buy, so it holds patient data. Velarya signs a Business Associate Agreement with every practice, on every plan. Sensitive data is encrypted, and access to it is limited and logged.

Kangaroo’s Terms of Service, last revised January 2022, say the customer is responsible for determining whether its products are suitable in light of regulations such as HIPAA, and that Kangaroo will not be liable if they do not meet those requirements. Whichever vendor you choose, get a signed Business Associate Agreement before patient data goes into the program.

With Velarya, your practice’s own Apple developer account. We build the app and publish it on your behalf, and your practice holds the listing. Apple’s App Store lists at least six merchant-named apps under the developer Mobicept Inc., the company that operates Kangaroo (read September 23, 2026).

Both publish their prices. Kangaroo’s pricing page lists Core, Plus and Elite at a monthly price, with Enterprise on request, and its custom branded app starts at Elite. Velarya’s pricing page lists Basic, Scale and Branded per location, per month, with Connected priced on a call, and there is no setup fee on any plan.

The difference is whose name and developer account the app sits under. Your customers would use the Kangaroo Rewards Members App, and a custom branded app is available from Kangaroo’s Elite plan; its FAQ says Kangaroo submits that app to Apple and Google. With Velarya, your own app comes with the Branded and Connected plans and is published under your practice’s Apple developer account.

Yes, alongside what each vendor publishes. This comparison sticks to Kangaroo’s own documents: its Terms of Service, Data Processing Addendum, pricing page, FAQ, Industries menu and App Store listing, all linked in the sources.

Kangaroo’s Industries menu lists twelve kinds of business, from ecommerce, restaurants and auto shops to spas, aesthetic clinics and med spas, gyms and wellness clinics, and barber shops and hair salons. Velarya is built for healthcare and beauty practices.

Yes. Velarya is a patient loyalty platform first, with charting built in, and it runs beside the EMR or practice software you already use. Patients can book in the app, or you can switch Velarya booking off and they buy treatments in the app and book with you directly.
