What it costs

Pass2U is very cheap for passes that never change: 3 credits each, and 8,000 credits cost $50.

Loyalty cards change on every visit. A punch card costs 10 credits to issue and 3 credits per update, unless you add Monthly Premium for that design: $39 a month covers unlimited updates for up to 2,000 active passes. For 1,000 punch cards that’s $39 a month plus 10,000 credits to issue them, which the plan’s 600 bonus credits a month partly cover - close to WalletPassBuilder’s $49 a month.

On WalletPassBuilder, every update and notification is free, and one plan covers every pass design.

Pass2U’s prices are as published on its website in November 2026; check its current plans before you decide.

Can I move from Pass2U to WalletPassBuilder?+

Passes already on your customers’ phones get their updates from the platform that issued them, so moving platforms means issuing new passes and sending customers the new link. Most businesses do it with one email or text, and keep both running until the old passes expire.
