Passcreator vs FaveCard (2026): A Wallet Pass Platform or a Ready Stamp Card

Who each is best for

Passcreator, from Munich, is a platform for building Wallet passes without code: stamp cards, points programs with tiers, coupons, membership cards and prepaid cards, for Apple Wallet, Google Wallet and Samsung Wallet. It suits a business or a team that wants to design its own passes, connect them to other systems through an API, and pay by the number of cards on customers' phones.

FaveCard is a ready stamp card for local businesses. It suits an owner who wants a card running today without setting anything up with Apple: customers scan your QR code, sign up on their own phone and keep the card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet (Pro plan and up) or in the browser. It works for any local business, from a coffee shop or bakery to a hair salon, a barber or a car wash.

How much does Passcreator cost compared with FaveCard?

Passcreator charges by active registrations: a card counts while it is saved on a device, once per device on Apple (an iPhone and an Apple Watch count as 2) and once per Google account, and a voided or expired card still on the phone still counts. Its stamp card page shows 200 active cards for €16 or $22 a month, 1,000 for €70 or $90 and 2,000 for €120 or $160, without VAT. Its public pricing and registration page, before any account, also shows 10,000 active cards for €400 or $500 a month and, on some visits (in English and German), a slider from 5 to 25,000 cards; above that, Enterprise on request. You pay in euros or US dollars, monthly, and the contract renews each month unless you cancel two weeks before the month ends. At the plan's limit, new customers cannot add the card until you move to a bigger plan. The free plan has 5 active cards with full access to all features (add-ons cost extra) and needs no credit card. For texts (SMS) its help pages give two prices: €0.10 each in one article, €0.03 each in another. White label costs €500 once and €100 a month, plus €20 a month for each extra web address or sender address. The Workflow Engine and a one-time NFC fee are paid extras without a published price; segments are marked as an add-on, with no price on its pages.

FaveCard has a free plan with no time limit, no credit card and no cap on customers: one stamp card, a card that opens in your customers' phone browser, and stamping with the FaveCard app. The Pro plan adds Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes and your own logo and banner; the Business plan adds offers sent to their lock screen through the Wallet card, a birthday reward sent for you, Google review requests, a phone or tablet on the counter where customers stamp their own card, your customer list as a CSV download and logins for your staff. FaveCard does not charge per customer or per card. Current amounts are on our pricing page.

Do you need an Apple Developer account?

With Passcreator, yes, for real Apple Wallet cards: its pricing page says you need an Apple Developer account to create the certificate, and its facts page says Passcreator does not offer a model where it signs the cards itself. Without one you can use a demo certificate, which allows 30 passes per design and adds a DEMO watermark.

With FaveCard, no. FaveCard signs every business's Apple Wallet card with its own certificate, and no screen asks you for an Apple account.

Stamps, points or both?

A Passcreator card design has one function: a stamp card, a points program, a prepaid card or a once-a-day pass. The points program comes with tiers (by default Bronze from 0 points, Silver from 100, Gold from 200 and Platinum from 500). Points by amount spent need a till that sends the value through the API; otherwise staff give a fixed number per scan or type one in. Rewards are listed on the back of the card, and staff take off points with the scan app. Stamps and tiers for the same customer need two cards, handed out together.

FaveCard gives stamps. You choose how many stamps the card has and the rewards along the way, each in your own words: a free coffee at 8 stamps, a free haircut at 10.

How customers join and staff stamp

With Passcreator, customers scan a QR code at the counter or open a link and fill in a sign-up form; you can also issue cards from a CSV file, a form on your own site or the API. Staff use the free Smart Scan app (iOS and Android), set up on a phone by a link without your login, and it works offline.

With FaveCard, the customer scans your QR code, enters at least an e-mail and first name, and adds the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet (Pro plan and up) or opens it in the browser. Staff give stamps by scanning the card's QR code with the FaveCard app on an iPhone or Android phone; on the Business plan a phone or tablet on the counter lets customers stamp their own card. If a customer changes phone, they open your page, enter their e-mail and a one-time code, and get their card back.

Reaching your customers

Passcreator sends push messages on every plan: to all cards of a design or to one card, now or scheduled (sending to a saved segment is marked as an add-on), and by place, with up to 10 locations per design (Google Wallet does not support location messages). Its own limit is unlimited, but the wallets cap them: Google Wallet allows up to 3 a day per card and Samsung 1 marketing message a day, and Passcreator advises at most five a day. Automatic messages, such as to everyone not seen for 30 days, run through its paid Workflow Engine add-on.

FaveCard's Business plan sends offers to the customer's lock screen through the Wallet card, a reward on their birthday, and a Google review request after a reward, on their card and by e-mail to customers who agreed to e-mails. FaveCard sends no SMS or e-mail campaigns.

When to choose Passcreator instead

• You need more than a stamp card. Points with tiers, coupons, membership cards and prepaid cards, also for Samsung Wallet.
• You want to connect it to other systems. A REST API, webhooks and other integrations on every plan, a Zapier app, and the Workflow Engine add-on for Shopify, HubSpot, Square and more. FaveCard has no API or integrations.
• You want messages by place. Location messages for up to 10 places per card design, on Apple Wallet.
• You are moving from another platform. Passcreator offers a one-time CSV import. FaveCard cannot import customers or stamps today.
• You need many languages on the card or EU hosting with certification. Card texts in up to 40 languages; data hosted in the EU, ISO 27001 certified.

How we compared

How we verified this: We make FaveCard. Every Passcreator fact comes from Passcreator's own pages, checked on 7 and 8 November 2026: its pricing and sign-up pages in English and German, its stamp card and facts pages, its help centre, terms, privacy policy and release notes, and the App Store and Google Play listings of its Smart Scan app. We quote these four plan sizes: 200, 1,000, 2,000 and 10,000 active cards. FaveCard's plans were checked against our released product (release 14) on 7 November 2026. FaveCard's business numbers come from our own records (FaveCard in numbers): 2,000+ counts the businesses that gave stamps to at least two different customers in the last 30 days (22 September – 21 October 2026), and 80+ the countries where those businesses are based (the country in each business's FaveCard profile; countries, not territories). As of October 2026. We did not sign up for Passcreator; where its public pages say nothing, we say “not found”. Prices and plans change: check each source before relying on it, and if you see an error, tell us through our contact page and we will correct it.
