Questions and answers

What is the main difference between Digital Passes and SquadSpot?

SquadSpot describes itself as built for high-regulation, high-compliance clubs, such as shooting, fishing, karting and car clubs, where membership depends on a licence or accreditation staying current. Digital Passes, by BoostCommerce Australia Pty Ltd, focuses on sports clubs, RSLs, surf clubs and gyms, adding free push notifications, loyalty points and store credit to the membership pass.

Do both put membership cards in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet?

Yes. SquadSpot's digital membership cards page says members add their card to Apple Wallet on iPhone or Google Wallet on Android. Digital Passes does the same, with no app or login needed. In both cases the card sits in the phone's built-in wallet, alongside members' bank cards and boarding passes, so members are less likely to forget it.

Do both cards update automatically?

Yes. SquadSpot says its cards are connected to the club's live member database, so renewals, expiry dates, status and category update instantly, and licence and accreditation expiry can come from its credential tracking. Digital Passes updates tiers, expiry dates, credit balances and benefits from its dashboard, or through POS and member systems, and pushes the change silently to the pass.

How are members checked in?

SquadSpot's page says its card carries a QR code that is scanned to confirm current status against the live record. Digital Passes uses a barcode scanned at entry, the bar or the point of sale, with optional NFC tap-to-verify on NFC-enabled readers. Both let clubs revoke a card, for example when a membership lapses or is cancelled.

Which one has push notifications and loyalty features?

Digital Passes includes free branded push notifications, including location-based messages near the venue, plus live loyalty points, dining credits, bar tabs and stamp cards on the pass. We did not see push notifications or loyalty features on SquadSpot's digital membership cards page, which focuses on compliance, credentials and live membership status. Check SquadSpot directly for its full feature list.

How does pricing compare?

Digital Passes is priced from $0.20 per card per month; no setup, retainer or fixed monthly fee; you only pay per active card. SquadSpot's digital membership cards page shows an illustration listing "$1.50 per member" for digital cards, but it doesn't say whether that's per month or per year, or what's included. The pricing page we tried did not load, so contact SquadSpot for its current pricing before comparing.
