Is WalletPassBuilder cheaper than PassEntry?+

Yes. PassEntry’s Pilot plan is £199 a month (£167 billed annually) for one seat, one template and 500 passes in total, and larger volumes need a Custom plan from £200 a month. WalletPassBuilder is $49 a month or $490 a year with 1,000 pass credits, unlimited pass designs and no per-user fees.

Does WalletPassBuilder support NFC passes?+

No. WalletPassBuilder passes use QR codes and barcodes, which any phone camera or scanner can read. PassEntry offers NFC passes once your plan is live and NFC access is approved.

Can I move from PassEntry 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.
