Compare the fit

What Passinstance is

Passinstance (passinstance.com) is a B2B platform for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet — loyalty, ticketing, membership, access, and identity passes with APIs, webhooks, analytics, and redemption tracking. Positioned as an operating layer rather than a template gallery. Check passinstance.com for current plans.

When MemberPass is the better fit

Clubs and SMBs that want to launch passes this week without a B2B rollout — self-serve editor, nine templates, staff browser scanner, Shopify integration, and month-to-month SaaS billing with 14-day refund and charity discount.

When Passinstance may fit better

Agencies or enterprises building wallet programmes for multiple clients with API-first control and migration support should compare Passinstance's B2B model on their site.
