CraftPassAI turns any physical card — loyalty cards, gym passes, library cards, event tickets, luggage tags, parking passes, and more — into a native Apple Wallet pass. One tap on your lock screen and the barcode is ready to scan. **FEATURES** • Scan any barcode — UPC, EAN, QR, Code 128, Aztec, PDF417, and more • Generates a native Apple Wallet pass (.pkpass) your phone keeps forever • AI photo-scan: photograph a card and the title, name, and member number fill automatically via GPT-4 vision — no typing • Works at any cashier, library desk, gym turnstile, gate, or parking terminal that reads barcodes • Supports cards no mainstream wallet app recognizes — small gyms, indie retailers, local libraries, custom luggage tags • Faster pass generation in v1.1, with improved support for QR codes and PDF417 boarding-style codes **WHY CRAFTPASSAI** — Native Wallet, not a separate app. Your passes live in Apple Wallet alongside your boarding passes and payment cards. — No typing required. The AI photo-scan reads the card for you and fills the form in 2–3 seconds. — Works with anything. If it has a barcode, CraftPassAI can digitize it. — No account needed. Launch the app, scan a card, done. No email, no password, no profile. — Built for iOS 18. Designed from the ground up for the latest iPhone and iPad. **PRIVACY-FIRST** CraftPassAI was built with privacy as a requirement, not an afterthought. There are no user accounts and no signup — a random anonymous device ID is generated on first launch and never linked to you. When you use the AI photo-scan feature, your photo is relayed to our vision API and discarded immediately — it is never written to disk and never stored in any database. There are no ads, no third-party analytics SDKs, and no tracking of any kind. Full privacy policy: https://craftpassai.com/privacy **PRICING** Download CraftPassAI for $0.99. Regular barcode scanning is free and there is no limit on how many passes you create. The AI photo-scan feature uses scan credits. Your $0.99 download includes 25 free AI scans — enough to digitize a full wallet of cards on day one. When you want more: • 50 AI Scans — $0.99 (one-time) • 250 AI Scans — $2.99 (one-time) • CraftPassAI Pro Monthly — $2.99/month, AI scans included each month • CraftPassAI Pro Yearly — $19.99/year, AI scans included each year (best value) All purchases are optional.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Google Cloud at Free against CraftPassAI's $0.99. Google Cloud also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (110 vs 2). CraftPassAI's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
