Passly helps you keep your passport and travel documents ready before you travel. Add your documents, track expiry dates, and get a clearer view of what needs attention before your next trip. Instead of remembering passport rules, expiry dates, visa notes and document validity in your head, Passly gives you one calm place to check your travel readiness. Passly is free to start. Higher limits and the full renewal assistant require the optional Passly Plus in-app purchase. WHY PASSLY Passports and travel documents are easy to forget — until they suddenly matter. Some destinations require your passport to be valid for months after arrival. Some trips involve visas, residence permits or family documents. And expiry dates are easy to miss when you only travel a few times a year. Passly is built for that moment before the trip: “Are my documents still valid?” “Do I need to renew something?” “Is my passport ready for this destination?” INCLUDED IN THE FREE VERSION • Add and manage a limited number of people, active documents and active trips • Track passport and document expiry dates • See which documents may need attention • Check travel readiness before an upcoming trip • Look up entry requirements by passport country and destination • Use document scanning to make setup faster • Store document information locally on your device • Use Passly without creating an account PASSLY PLUS Passly Plus is an optional in-app purchase.

It is not a flight tracker, booking manager or overloaded travel planner. Passly focuses on one important job: helping you keep your travel documents ready. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your travel documents are sensitive. Passly stores document data locally on your device and does not require an account. PERFECT FOR • Passport expiry tracking • Visa and travel document organization • Pre-trip document checks • Family travel preparation with Passly Plus • Business travel readiness • Keeping important document dates organized Passly helps you travel with one less thing to worry about.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Shelto at fortnightly against Passly's every 2 months. Shelto also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
