MakePass vs Passora

MakePass is a powerful Apple Wallet pass creator and editor. Create a pass from scratch, import an existing one, or use AI to turn a photo, PDF, or description into an event ticket, boarding pass, membership card, coupon, and more. Core Features: • AI-Powered Design: Turn photos, PDFs, or descriptions into Apple Wallet passes. MakePass AI extracts the relevant information and creates the pass content, structure, and design. • Flexible Pass Creation: Start from scratch, open an existing pass, import one directly from Apple Wallet using the Share button, or choose an included example. • Extensive Customization: Add, remove, and reorder header, front, and back fields. Customize colors, dates, time zones, locations, grouping, identifiers, associated apps, and more. • Complete Image Control: Customize icon, header, strip, thumbnail, background, artwork, and footer images. Use your own image or choose a template and adjust its color and blur. • More Pass Styles: Choose from Event Tickets, Boarding Passes, Generic Passes, Poster Passes, Store Cards, Coupons, Semantic Event Tickets, and Semantic Boarding Passes. • Semantic Fields: Add structured metadata for events, venues, seating, flights, airports, passengers, dates, time zones, and locations. Apple Wallet uses this machine-readable metadata to decide which fields to show. Advanced Capabilities: • Barcode Flexibility: Scan, import, or create QR, Aztec, PDF417, Code 128, Code 39, Codabar, EAN-13, and Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes. Convert unsupported formats to a Wallet-compatible barcode or embed them as pass images when available. • Featured Actions: Add up to two actions below a pass for calls, orders, shopping, bookings, schedules, rewards, and more. • Location and Time Awareness: Set relevant dates and locations so passes can appear on the Lock Screen at the right time or place. • Apple Wallet Editor Compatibility: Create “User Created” passes that remain editable in Wallet and never appear grouped. Add linked photos and custom backgrounds, or use styles that Wallet’s editor does not offer, including Coupons and Store Cards. • Shortcuts Integration: Use Shortcuts to automate pass creation and customization. • Command-Line Automation on Mac: Create and customize passes from Terminal, scripts, or AI agents with the included "makepass-cli" tool. MakePass Subscriptions: • MakePass Pro: Unlock barcodes and images, plus passes that appear based on time or location. • MakePass Ultra: Includes every MakePass Pro feature, plus MakePass AI, Shortcuts support, command-line automation on Mac, and Family Sharing. MakePass supports macOS, iOS and iPadOS. Notes: • On iPadOS, where Apple Wallet is unavailable, MakePass lets you preview passes and share or save them as files. • Some features, including Poster, Semantic Event Ticket, and Semantic Boarding Pass styles, header icons, featured actions, linked photos, and the “User Created” group, are unavailable on older system versions. • Barcode and image availability varies by system, device, pass style, and group. Privacy by Design: MakePass works entirely on-device and does not store or send any information outside its protected app sandbox, except when you explicitly use MakePass AI. This requires sending text extracted from images or the pass description you provide for processing. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Some tickets and cards never come with an Apple Wallet pass. Passora lets you make one yourself. CREATE A PASS Type in the details, pick your colors, add a logo or image, and set the barcode. You edit directly on a live preview of the pass, so what you see is what you get. All five Apple Wallet pass styles are supported: event ticket, store card, coupon, boarding pass, and generic. ADD IT TO WALLET Passora generates a properly signed pass that works like any other Wallet pass. It shows up on your lock screen and the barcode scans at the door. OR KEEP IT IN THE APP Every pass is saved in your library, so you can also use Passora as a simple place to store tickets and cards without adding them to Wallet. Tap any pass for a full-screen view with a scannable barcode. GROUP PASSES THAT BELONG TOGETHER Put related passes into a group: a trip, an event, or one ticket per person. Open the group and swipe from one barcode to the next, so you can scan a whole party in at the gate without leaving the screen. START FROM A PHOTO OR PDF You can also start a pass from a photo, screenshot, or PDF. Passora reads the text and barcode it finds and fills in what it can. You fine-tune the rest. From a multi-page PDF, Passora finds the pages that hold a pass and creates them together as a group. PRIVACY No accounts, no ads, no analytics. Photos are processed on your device. Pass contents are sent once, encrypted, to be signed, and are never stored. Your pass library stays on your phone. Passora creates personal passes from information you provide. It is not affiliated with any venue, airline, or retailer.
