The Rise of Wallet Passes: The App Alternative

Written by Fobi | Jul 29, 2024 7:24:14 PM


Traditionally, mobile apps have been a go-to for businesses looking to deploy a mobile strategy. However, over the last several years consumers haven’t been embracing apps the way they used to, and consequently, companies aren’t seeing a compelling enough ROI based on the cost of developing and maintaining a custom application to warrant making continued investments. 

People are increasingly avoiding apps due to market saturation and user fatigue, making it difficult for new apps to gain attention. Concerns over data privacy lead users to be cautious about app permissions. Additionally, complex interfaces deter those who prefer simple interactions, and many apps consume significant storage, drain battery life, and cause performance issues, further diminishing their appeal.

The good news is, there’s a better alternative…
