Waya vs Jodpass: pricing tiers, card types, and notifications compared

The short version

Jodpass, out of Khobar, publishes three tiers on a single-scroll homepage as of September 2026: Starter at 59.99 SAR/mo for up to 3 employees, Growth at 119.99 SAR/mo for up to 10 employees with API access, and Pro at 199.99 SAR/mo for up to 50 employees with advanced analytics. All three carry a 14-day free trial and no long-term commitment, in their own words.

Waya has no trial clock at all. Free is 0 SAR forever for up to 100 customers, then Growth is 85 SAR a month and Premium is 149 SAR a month, both unlimited on customers.

Jodpass's card mechanics are unusually broad for this price range — stamps, points, a hybrid of both, prepaid credit, subscription packages, coupons, and VIP tiers, all named on their homepage. Waya's Free plan is stamp cards only; points, balance, and discount cards start on Growth.

Notifications, side by side

Jodpass's own site describes notifications only in general terms — "smart notifications" and "real-time alerts" — without itemizing a trigger list, a geofence claim, or a scheduling feature anywhere we could find.

Pricing over twelve months

Jodpass's three tiers annualize to 719.88 SAR, 1,439.88 SAR, and 2,399.88 SAR a year at the published monthly rates, with employee-seat caps of 3, 10, and 50 driving which tier you need rather than customer count — Jodpass claims unlimited customers on Starter and above.

Waya's paid tiers meter messages, not customers or staff seats: Growth is 1,020 SAR a year paid monthly (867 SAR prepaid) and Premium is 1,788 SAR a year paid monthly (1,520 SAR prepaid), both with unlimited staff accounts. Jodpass's prices live only on its homepage, with no separate pricing page, so confirm the current figures there before comparing.

Where Jodpass is the better pick

If you want prepaid credit, subscription packages, hybrid points-and-stamps, and VIP customer tiers all available without waiting for a higher plan, Jodpass names all seven of those card types on its entry-level homepage copy. Waya's Free plan is stamp cards only — points, balance, and discount cards, plus custom design help, start at 85 SAR on Growth.

Jodpass's site also shows six named customer testimonials with business type and city, a level of concrete social proof worth weighing. Waya's limits, stated plainly once: no POS or till integration, no SMS, the Android merchant app is in closed testing, and Free stops at 100 customers and 100 messages a month.

Where Waya wins

These differences reflect what Jodpass's own homepage does and doesn't itemize, as of September 2026.

• Free forever for up to 100 customers, no credit card, no 14-day clock running out
• A published geofence feature with numbers — up to 10 branches, 50-500 m radius — where Jodpass's site says nothing about proximity notifications at all
• Four named automatic triggers (welcome, stamp, reward, 14-day win-back) versus Jodpass's unitemized "smart notifications"
• Working-hours-aware scheduled campaigns and structured audience targeting, both unlisted on Jodpass's site
• Unlimited staff accounts on Premium, rather than an employee-seat cap tied to plan tier

Car washes: a blog post, not a landing page

Jodpass published a car-wash blog article in July 2026 discussing stamps versus points and the pitfalls of a poorly defined "visit" for a wash business — useful reading, but it's a content article, not a dedicated product page with car-wash-specific pricing or features. No barber or salon page exists either; both appear only as homepage bullets.

Waya's own car-wash material goes further with worked numbers: a single-branch wash doing 40 washes a day reaches roughly 100 enrolled customers in the first month or two, right at the Free plan's ceiling. See the car-wash loyalty program guide for the full stamp-threshold math and a one-week launch plan.

How to decide in 5 steps

Jodpass's card-type variety and Waya's notification depth pull in different directions, so match the decision to what actually matters at your counter.

1. List the card types you actually need

   If prepaid credit or VIP tiers matter on day one, Jodpass's Starter tier includes them; on Waya they arrive with Growth.

2. Count your staff seats

   Jodpass caps by employee count per tier; Waya's Growth and Premium both include several to unlimited staff accounts regardless of card complexity.

3. Ask about geofencing and triggers directly

   Jodpass's site doesn't itemize either, so get a written answer before assuming feature parity with Waya's published geofence and trigger list.

4. Run the free 14 days versus the free 100 customers

   Jodpass gives you 14 days on any tier; Waya gives you unlimited time under 100 customers. Pick whichever matches how fast you enroll.

5. Compare the twelve-month total for your actual staff count

   Use the table above to check whether Jodpass's tier for your employee count costs more or less than the Waya plan that fits your message volume.
