Last updated: October 21, 2026
The first Digital Product Passport deadline is close: from 18 February 2027, every LMT battery (e-bikes, e-scooters), every industrial battery over 2 kWh and every electric vehicle battery sold in the EU needs a battery passport. Textiles, electronics, furniture and more will follow as ESPR delegated acts are adopted. The software market has grown just as fast, from enterprise traceability suites to $9-a-month passport builders, and the marketing all sounds the same.
This guide compares 16 Digital Product Passport platforms by what each is actually built for, how it collects data, what it costs and how you buy it. One thing to know up front: we make Veribl, one of the platforms in this list. We've kept the comparison fair: every fact about other vendors comes from their own websites and press releases as of October 2026, we say where Veribl isn't the right fit, and we point to the vendors who are better at those jobs.

What Digital Product Passport Software Actually Has to Do
A Digital Product Passport is a set of product data, published at a data carrier (usually a QR code) on or with the product, kept available for years, with different parts visible to consumers, repairers, recyclers and authorities. To get there, the software has five jobs:
- Work out which rules apply to each product. A jacket falls under textile rules, an e-bike battery pack under the Batteries Regulation, a powered device under electrical equipment rules. Getting this wrong means collecting the wrong data.
- Collect the data. This is most of the work. Material composition, recycled content, carbon footprint, substances of concern: most of it lives with your suppliers, in PDFs, test reports and spreadsheets.
- Publish the passport. At a stable web address behind a QR code, ideally using GS1 Digital Link, with access levels for each type of reader and, for batteries, a passport per individual unit.
- Keep it trustworthy and current. Versions, a record of every change, and a way to show the data wasn't quietly edited after publishing.
- Connect it. To the EU DPP registry, which went live in July 2026, and to your ERP, PIM or product systems.
Most platforms do job 3 well. The real differences are in jobs 1 and 2: how much of the data work the software does for you, and how it gets data out of your suppliers. That's where this comparison focuses.
How We Compared
We looked at what each platform is built for, how it collects supplier data, whether it handles item-level passports (needed for batteries), how prices are set and published, and whether you can start without a sales process. We relied on each vendor's own site and press releases, plus independent sources: ABI Research's DPP vendor ranking (August 2024), Gartner's Emerging Market Quadrant for DPP (July 2026), the MarketsandMarkets 360Quadrants DPP assessment (January 2026) and Policy2050's DPP platforms report (March 2026).
Policy2050's conclusion is worth keeping in mind: it expects the market to split into sector ecosystems (automotive, batteries, textiles, electronics, construction) with "no single platform winner." The right choice depends on your products.
The Best Digital Product Passport Software in 2026
Best for Brands That Want the Data Work Done for Them
Veribl
Best for: consumer product brands (electronics, e-bikes and batteries, appliances, textiles, furniture) that want passports done without a data team or an implementation project.
Most DPP software gives you a form with 80 fields and leaves the rest to you. Veribl gives you an AI assistant that fills it in. Vera, the AI assistant in Veribl, works inside the dashboard with your permissions, and nothing changes until you approve it.
Vera works out which rules apply. It looks at each product, from its category and description to its materials and battery data, then reads the scope article of each rule and proposes which ones apply, with a one-line reason for each. It has the full text of 24 EU acts to quote from, including ESPR, the Batteries Regulation, GPSR, RoHS, WEEE, REACH and the Packaging Regulation. Where the law leaves room for doubt, it quotes the exact sentence and lets you decide.
Vera fills the passport from the files you already have. Hand it a manual, a test report, a bill of materials spreadsheet or a phone photo of a rating plate, and it fills in the passport fields those sources actually state. It never fills a field from a guess. It ends with a plain list of what's still missing.
Vera asks your suppliers for the rest. This is the part that usually takes months of emails. Vera checks which fields are still empty, works out which supplier makes that part and drafts a request with the exact fields and the rule and deadline behind each one. You approve it, and it goes to the supplier.
Suppliers answer in the Veribl supplier portal. They open the request and sign in with a code sent to their email, so there's no sign-up form and no password. They drop in the documents they already have, and the answers fill themselves in, each with the file, page and quote it came from. Anything they can't provide, they mark as "I don't have this" instead of leaving you guessing. You review, approve, and the data goes into the passport. Colleagues at the same supplier see the same requests, so the request doesn't depend on one inbox.
Suppliers keep a library, so the next request takes a click. Each supplier keeps product profiles, documents (with expiry reminders before certificates lapse) and saved answers on Veribl. When they update a profile, every brand they supply gets the change to review. The more brands use it, the less work each request becomes for suppliers, which is what gets suppliers to answer.
Passports built for the rules, not just a landing page. Veribl publishes passports at GS1 Digital Link addresses with machine-readable JSON-LD, shows them in all 24 EU languages and handles battery passports per serial number, with separate access levels for the public, parties with a legitimate interest and authorities, plus access links and a data API. Every published version and every supplier submission is signed and chained, so any later edit would show. Registry data can be exported for the EU DPP registry.
The same QR code does more than compliance. The passport sits on the product page your customers already open for setup guides, manuals, product registration, warranty claims and support. Vera writes those guides from your PDF manuals too. The QR code you have to print for the passport becomes a reason for customers to scan.
Pricing: free plan for 100 products. Passports from $29 a month for 500 products, $79 for 2,000. Vera is $19 per person a month, and the whole team gets it in the 14-day free trial. Self-serve: sign up and publish the same day.
Not the best fit if: you need chain-of-custody traceability from mine to cell, or mass balance accounting across a chemical supply chain. Veribl collects and verifies what your suppliers declare; it doesn't track physical material through every tier. Circulor, Minespider and Circularise are built for that.

Best for Enterprise Supply-Chain Data
Circularise
Best for: manufacturers in chemicals, plastics, automotive and batteries that need to share supply-chain data without exposing it.
Founded in 2016 in The Hague, Circularise started with supply-chain data collection and confidential sharing, which it calls "Smart Questioning", and added chain-of-custody and mass balance traceability before building out passports. Its DPP page also names textiles, furniture, steel and construction. Pricing runs through a configurator based on suppliers, sites, transactions and passports, and ends in a tailored quote. It ranks highly in AI and search answers for "digital product passport", largely because of its extensive educational content.
TrusTrace
Best for: large fashion and footwear brands mapping suppliers several tiers deep.
The Stockholm-based company (founded 2016) focuses on multi-tier supply chain mapping, supplier data collection, lot-level traceability and compliance, with DPP as part of a broader readiness offering. It reports more than 120,000 suppliers on the platform and 15,000+ passports from a Nordic pilot with Eton, Kappahl and Gina Tricot, and lists ASOS, ASICS and Marimekko as customers. Gartner named it a Representative Provider for DPP in 2025. Pricing is by quote.
Retraced
Best for: fashion and textile brands that want supplier collaboration first and a consumer-facing passport on top.
Founded in 2019 in Düsseldorf, Retraced combines supplier profiles, AI document validation and purchase-order-level traceability, with passports delivered through widgets and APIs. It raised a EUR 15M Series A in 2024 and lists Desigual, Calzedonia and Marc O'Polo among more than 150 brands. Pricing is by quote.
osapiens HUB
Best for: large companies handling many supply-chain regulations at once.
osapiens covers supply-chain due diligence, deforestation, packaging and other regulations on one data layer, with DPP built on the same supplier data. It reports more than 2,500 companies on its platform and offers AI pre-fill of supplier questionnaires, attestation levels and access classes per data point. It's a strong fit if DPP is one of many compliance programs. Pricing isn't published.
Best for Batteries and Raw Materials
Selling batteries? Our separate guide to the best battery passport software goes deeper on item-level passports, access levels and supplier data for the February 2027 deadline.
Circulor
Best for: battery and automotive manufacturers that need material provenance from mine to cell.
London-based Circulor (founded 2017) is known for the Volvo EX90 battery passport, which it describes as the first full-scale one, and lists Volvo Cars, Lucid, Aston Martin and Ford Otosan among its customers. It reports over 500,000 passports issued and launched Circulor 2.0 in July 2026. If your passport depends on proving where cobalt, lithium and nickel came from, this is one of the specialists. Pricing isn't published.
Minespider
Best for: raw-material and mining traceability that feeds battery passports.
The Berlin company focuses on minerals, metals and battery supply chains, with document collection, permissioned sharing and blockchain-backed chain of custody. Recent announcements include a MineHub partnership, a pilot with Siemens Gamesa and battery passports for the e-bike brand TENWAYS. ABI Research ranked it a mainstream player in 2024. Pricing isn't published.
Spherity
Best for: passports built on verifiable credentials and digital identity, especially batteries.
Dortmund-based Spherity's VERA product uses W3C verifiable credentials and decentralized identifiers, with templates, QR generation and a supplier onboarding portal, and ties into Catena-X. It covers batteries first, then textiles, electronics and steel. Much of its recent news is in US pharmaceutical traceability. Pricing isn't published.
Siemens DPP4.0
Best for: industrial and battery manufacturers already working with Siemens and the Asset Administration Shell.
Siemens offers battery and industrial passports built on the Asset Administration Shell and Catena-X standards, now available as SaaS, licensed in company-size tiers by quote. A natural choice if your engineering and manufacturing systems are already Siemens.
Best for Serialized Product Identity
Kezzler
Best for: consumer goods and food companies that need serialized IDs and EPCIS traceability at scale.
Kezzler, founded in Oslo in 2001, is one of the oldest serialization platforms, with GS1 Digital Link, EPCIS 2.0 and item-level IDs, and added consumer engagement by acquiring Scanbuy's QR business in 2025. Gartner named it a Market Shaper in its 2026 Emerging Market Quadrant for DPP. Customers include FrieslandCampina. Pricing isn't published.
EON
Best for: enterprise fashion brands that want a Digital ID for resale and circular services as well as compliance.
New York-based EON (founded 2017) provides a "Product Cloud" with persistent IDs, EPCIS 2.0, its own GS1 Digital Link resolver and 90+ integrations, and says it has more than 50 companies on DPP programs. It partnered with Inspectorio in September 2026. Pricing isn't published.

Avery Dennison combines data carriers (RFID, NFC, QR labels) with its atma.io connected-product cloud and launched a ReadyDPP bundle in 2026 that includes printing hardware and consultancy. JD Sports has 3.3 million items on atma.io. ABI Research ranked Avery Dennison the top DPP vendor in 2024. Pricing isn't published.
Arianee
Best for: luxury goods and appliances, on an open-protocol passport.
Paris-based Arianee runs an open, blockchain-based passport protocol with a SaaS layer and a compliance engine for ESPR, WEEE and battery rules. It reports more than 4 million passports deployed, including Fnac Darty's rollout across major appliances and luxury watch brands such as Breitling. It sells through scoped pilots.
Scantrust
Best for: brands whose main concern is counterfeiting, with DPP as an add-on.
Lausanne-based Scantrust specializes in secure, copy-detectable QR codes with GS1 Digital Link landing pages, and has run DPP deployments in textiles, batteries and food. It's one of the few with published prices: Scantrust Pro starts at $250 a month for 50 QR codes, Pro+ at $650 for 100, with a free trial.
Best for Fashion-Focused Passports and Brand-Facing Passports
Narravero
Best for: mid-sized manufacturers that want consumer- and partner-facing passports with German hosting.
Narravero (Münster) builds passports delivered over QR and NFC, with an open API, multilingual pages and AI chat as an add-on, and says it serves more than 200 companies, including BONPRIX, COR and SEINE Batteriesysteme. Its founder co-chairs the European standards committee for DPP. Published starting prices: Plus from EUR 6,500 a year, Pro from EUR 8,000 a year, with an optional pilot from EUR 8,000.
Renoon
Best for: fashion and luxury brands that want a platform plus advisory and managed service.
Renoon combines DPP creation, compliance checks and supplier onboarding with consulting, and lists Tod's and O My Bag among its customers. Its own market analysis puts compliance-only passports under EUR 15,000 a year and fuller programs between EUR 15,000 and EUR 100,000.
Tappr
Best for: mid-market apparel, footwear and outdoor brands.
Rotterdam-based Tappr (founded 2021) offers a passport builder, a supplier data tool and post-purchase add-ons such as warranty and resale, with 270+ integrations and customers including Lee and Wrangler. It publishes plan prices, though the figures differ across its own pages, so check its pricing page directly.
Provenant (formerly Protokol DPP)
Best for: companies that want a passport builder with hands-on consulting.
Protokol relaunched its DPP platform as Provenant in November 2025, with a compliance checker, EPCIS 2.0 lifecycle events, LCA data and ERP/PIM/PLM sync, for textiles, steel, electronics, furniture and construction. Pricing isn't published.
Low-Cost Self-Serve Passport Builders
A cluster of newer tools, including Fluxy.One (free tier for 100 products, paid from EUR 9.99 a month), MyProductPassport, DPP-Tool and several Shopify apps, let you create simple passports cheaply. They're a reasonable way to try a passport page. Check two things before relying on one: whether it handles item-level passports and access levels if you sell batteries, and how it collects data from suppliers. Several "best DPP software" rankings online are published by these vendors or funded by affiliate links, so read rankings with that in mind, including this one.
How to Choose
Start with your product. Selling e-bikes, scooters or industrial batteries? You need item-level battery passports with access levels before February 2027, so rule out tools that only do one page per model. For textiles, electronics or furniture, the ESPR delegated acts aren't adopted yet, so favor a platform you can start small with and grow into.
Then look at where your data is. If the hard part is proving material origin through mines and refiners, you need a traceability specialist (Circulor, Minespider, Circularise). If the hard part is getting declarations, test reports and composition data from 20 or 200 direct suppliers, look closely at the supplier experience: a portal, document upload with automatic extraction, and saved answers suppliers can reuse. That's what decides whether suppliers actually answer.
Then be honest about your team. Enterprise platforms assume an implementation project and someone who owns the data. If that's not you, a self-serve platform where an AI assistant does the reading, filling and follow-up will get you further.
Finally, think about the QR code. You'll print it on every product for years. If it only opens a compliance page, that's all it will ever be. If it opens a page with setup help, registration and support, customers have a reason to scan it, and the passport earns its place on the box. Our comparison of compliance-only and customer-experience platforms goes deeper on this.
Questions to Ask in Every Demo
- Which of my products need a passport, and under which rule? Show me how you decide.
- How does a supplier answer a data request? Can they upload documents instead of retyping them?
- Where does each value in the passport come from, and can I see the source?
- Can you publish a passport per serial number, with separate access for authorities and recyclers?
- What happens if someone edits published data? How would I prove it wasn't changed?
- What's the price at 100, 1,000 and 10,000 products, and is it in writing?
- How long from contract to the first live passport?

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Digital Product Passport software?
It depends on your product and your size. For brands that want the passport filled in for them, Veribl's AI assistant Vera reads your documents, requests missing data from suppliers and fills in their answers, from a free plan. For battery material provenance from mine to cell, Circulor and Minespider are specialists. For enterprise fashion supply chains, TrusTrace and Retraced. For serialized product identity at scale, Kezzler, EON and Avery Dennison atma.io.
How much does Digital Product Passport software cost?
Most enterprise DPP platforms don't publish prices and sell through custom quotes. Among those that do: Veribl has a free plan for 100 products and paid passports from $29 a month, Scantrust Pro starts at $250 a month, and Narravero lists plans from EUR 6,500 a year. Vendors' own market estimates put full enterprise programs at EUR 15,000 to over EUR 100,000 a year.
When do Digital Product Passports become mandatory?
The first legally dated passport is the EU battery passport: from 18 February 2027 each LMT battery, each industrial battery over 2 kWh and each electric vehicle battery placed on the EU market needs one, under Article 77 of the Batteries Regulation. Passports for other product groups under ESPR apply only once each delegated act is adopted and its dates take effect.
Do I need blockchain for a Digital Product Passport?
No. ESPR requires the passport to be accurate, accessible through a data carrier such as a QR code, and kept available for the period the delegated act sets. It doesn't require blockchain. What matters is that changes are recorded and the data can be trusted, which signed and versioned records also provide.
What should Digital Product Passport software do?
Five jobs: work out which rules apply to each product, collect the required data (most of it from suppliers), publish the passport at a QR code with the right access levels, keep it versioned and trustworthy over the product's life, and connect it to the EU registry and your other systems. Many tools only cover publishing.
How do I get Digital Product Passport data from suppliers?
Ask each supplier for exactly the fields you're missing, through a portal instead of spreadsheets by email. Good DPP software lets suppliers upload the documents they already have, such as test reports and declarations, extracts the values with a reference to the page they came from, and lets you review before anything goes into the passport.
