Put any loyalty card, coupon, or ticket in Apple Wallet โ even if the business doesn't have an app. Passly turns a photo of a barcode or QR code into a real Apple Wallet pass: scan it once, and it lives on your Lock Screen and in Wallet forever, styled the way you want. Scan first, done in seconds โข Point your camera at any barcode or QR code โ punch cards, gift cards, membership cards, event tickets, coupons โข Or choose an existing photo and Passly will detect the code for it โข No code to scan?

That's what it takes to produce a real .pkpass file; no device identifiers, no usage data, no account, no tracking. Passly Pro โ one small one-time purchase, never a subscription โข Free: up to 3 passes, full scanning, all templates โข Pro ($4.99 once): unlimited passes โข No ads, no accounts, no recurring charges โ ever. Pay once, keep it forever. Whether it's a coffee shop punch card, a gym membership, a paper coupon about to get lost, or a ticket you don't want buried in email, Passly gets it into your Wallet in seconds.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: SubMonitor at daily against PassJar's every 2 weeks. SubMonitor also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
