# PassNinja Alternatives: PassFast's MCP, Templates, and Active Pass Pricing

Looking for PassNinja alternatives? PassFast offers templates, a remote MCP server (Bearer `sk_live_…`, no OAuth), and $0.015 per active pass per month, with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet counted as one active unit.

## An API-first comparison

If you're evaluating wallet pass providers as an API-first team, the shortlist usually comes down to the same few questions: How much of the surface is reachable by API versus dashboard-only? Can an AI agent or coding assistant call the API directly, or does it need a custom wrapper? How is signing handled for Apple and Google? And how does the pricing model behave as pass volume grows?

This page focuses on how PassFast answers those questions. For PassNinja's current pricing, feature set, and API coverage, check PassNinja's own site directly — we haven't reproduced their pricing or feature matrix here (see the table below).

## PassFast: MCP, templates, and an active-pass meter

PassFast is built around three things that matter to API-first teams:

- **Templates.** Design a pass once in the dashboard, then generate instances of it from the API or an agent — you're not hand-building PKPass/Google Wallet JSON payloads per pass.
- **A remote MCP server.** Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients can connect to PassFast's MCP endpoint using a single secret API key (`Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…`). There's no OAuth flow to build or maintain — paste the key into your client config and the agent gets the same tools that back the PassFast API. See [PassFast's MCP docs](https://passfa.st/docs/mcp) for the endpoint, headers, and tool list.
- **An active-pass meter, not a per-send or per-platform fee.** Pricing is $0.015 per active pass per month. A pass issued for both Apple Wallet and Google Wallet counts as a single active unit — you're not billed twice for a dual-platform pass. New accounts get 100 free generates, once.

Together, that's managed Apple + Google signing, a template-driven generation path, and an agent-reachable API, priced by what's actively in use rather than by platform or by send.
