New guides: costs, alternatives, stamp cards and PDF tickets
Four new guides and a set of comparison pages, answering the questions we hear most before people sign up.
Wallet pass platforms compared: pricing models, Apple Wallet setup and Google Wallet support, with a page each for PassKit, Passcreator, Pass2U, PassNinja and PassEntry.
PassKit alternatives: every option, with the first-year cost of 1,000 loyalty cards on each.
How much it costs to create Apple Wallet passes: free, do-it-yourself and platform costs at 500 and 2,000 cards.
Coffee shop loyalty card: the reward, stamping at the counter or through Square, sign-ups, messages and cost.
Turn a PDF ticket into an Apple Wallet pass: Apple Wallet can't open a PDF, so here's how to make a pass that still scans at the door, free or with Claude.
