Cost
What does a Digital Product Passport cost?
There is no single price — cost depends on volume, granularity and how much of the data you already hold. This page explains the drivers and gives real, published numbers.
The primary cost driver is granularity. An item-level passport (one per physical unit, as batteries require) is far more work than a model-level passport (one per design). Volume and missing supplier data do the rest.
What drives the cost
- Granularity — model, batch or item level. Item-level (per unit) is the biggest multiplier.
- Volume — how many products (SKUs) need passports.
- Data gap — how much sits with suppliers versus in your own systems; collection is the labour-intensive part.
- Software vs. managed — self-serve platform, or a done-for-you managed service.
What DPP software costs
Comparable DPP platforms publish self-serve tiers roughly in the €99–€899/month range by volume, and many hide pricing behind a sales call. PassPer publishes its pricing in full: Micro €79 (10 passports), Starter €159 (50, with AI extraction), Growth €399 (250, with API and registry submission), Scale €719 (1,000), and a custom Enterprise tier — flat allowances, no setup fees, and no per-passport charges inside your plan. See full pricing.
How to lower it
Start with a free pilot to size the real work before committing. Collect supplier data through a system rather than by hand. And reuse verified supplier declarations across products and buyers instead of re-asking. PassPer includes all three; the free 30-day pilot lets you publish real passports before you pay.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Digital Product Passport cost?
It depends on volume and granularity. As software, PassPer starts at €79/month for 10 passports and €399/month for 250 with AI extraction and registry submission; a free 30-day pilot lets you start at no cost.
Why is item-level DPP more expensive?
Item-level means one passport per physical unit rather than one per product design — for batteries that can be thousands of passports, each with its own identifier and lifecycle.
Is there a free way to start with DPP?
Yes. PassPer's free 30-day pilot lets you publish real passports on your own data with no card and no setup fee.
