Our take

Talon.one initiates and automates loyalty programs and discount campaigns for product-oriented businesses. Its varied product service includes coupon, referral, gift card, and loyalty software as well as product bundles and wallet solutions.

Paradoxical to its mission to create developer-free promotion tools for companies, Talon.one was actually founded by several software developers. In 2022, the company partnered with Big Commerce to offer promotion engine features to Jimmy Brings, an Australian alcohol delivery company, highlighting its integration capabilities as it had to collaborate effectively with various software companies.

Talon.one's offering has a lot of potential, which hasn't gone unnoticed, and its secured a hard-hitting client list that includes Mercedes, Delivery Hero and Adidas. It also raised some serious growth funding in 2025 which puts it in a great position as it eyes thoughtful and sustainable long-term growth.
