PassPer / Resources / DPP software landscape
Vendor landscape

The EU DPP software landscape, mapped honestly.

If you ask who can build your Digital Product Passport, you get marketing noise. Here is the factual map: the main platforms serving the EU DPP market in 2026, what each actually focuses on, and — where vendors publish it — what they cost. Yes, PassPer is on the list; we have marked our row clearly and kept the descriptions factual, because a comparison you can't trust is worthless.

In one line: the EU DPP market splits into enterprise traceability suites (pricing on request), serialization platforms extending into DPP, and a small group of self-serve SaaS platforms with published pricing — of which PassPer (from €79/month) and OpenDPP (from €99/month) are the visible examples.

The three shapes of DPP vendor

Most vendors fall into one of three groups. Enterprise traceability platforms (Circularise, Kezzler, Protokol, Avery Dennison's atma.io) grew out of supply-chain tracking and serialization; they are typically sold as scoped implementations with pricing on request. Compliance-suite incumbents (iPoint) extend existing product-compliance tooling into DPP. Self-serve SaaS platforms (PassPer, OpenDPP, and a handful of smaller tools) publish pricing, offer free pilots and target the SME-to-mid-market segment the enterprise players leave behind.

The vendors, factually

This list is not exhaustive — the space is adding vendors quarterly — but it covers the platforms a European buyer will actually encounter in 2026.

How to choose between them

Three questions cut the list fast. Can you see the price? If procurement transparency matters to you — or you are an SME who cannot run a six-month vendor evaluation — the published-pricing group is your shortlist. Where does your data live? DPP data is regulated, commercially sensitive and must stay accessible up to 15 years; EU-sovereign hosting and independent backup custody are structural questions, not features. Who does the data entry? A passport needs 100+ fields; platforms that ingest your existing documents (rather than presenting empty forms) change the cost of compliance more than any pricing tier does.

Where PassPer honestly fits — and where it doesn't

PassPer is built for manufacturers, brands and importers from roughly 10 to a few thousand SKUs who need compliant passports without a consultancy project: AI does the document work, pricing is on the page, and the battery deadline (18 February 2027) is the sharpest use case. If you need deep multi-tier supply-chain traceability across thousands of suppliers, or a scoped enterprise integration programme, the traceability platforms above are the better conversation. Most buyers know which of those two they are within a minute — and both are better served by knowing the whole map.

Frequently asked questions

Which companies provide Digital Product Passport software in 2026?
The main platforms serving the EU market include PassPer, OpenDPP, Narravero, iPoint, Circularise, Kezzler, Protokol and Spherity, alongside enterprise serialization players such as Avery Dennison (atma.io). They split into enterprise traceability suites with pricing on request and a smaller group of self-serve SaaS platforms with published pricing, including PassPer (from €79/month) and OpenDPP (from €99/month).
What does DPP software cost?
Published self-serve pricing runs roughly €79–€899 per month depending on vendor and passport volume — PassPer runs €79–€719/month and OpenDPP €99–€899/month, both with free 30-day pilots. Enterprise traceability platforms price per project, typically at a different order of magnitude.
What should an SME look for in a DPP platform?
Published pricing (so you can budget without a sales cycle), document-based data entry rather than blank forms, EU data hosting with long-term persistence (passports must stay accessible up to 15 years), standards support (GS1 Digital Link, eIDAS sealing, registry filing) and a free pilot to verify the workflow on a real product.
Is this comparison neutral?
It is written by PassPer, and our row is marked clearly. The factual claims — who focuses on what, whose pricing is published — are verifiable on each vendor's site, and we have included the cases where a different vendor type is the better fit. We keep it current; if you spot an error, tell us and we will correct it.
