# Best car wash membership apps (2026).

Source: https://meetscarlet.com/guides/best-car-wash-membership-apps/
Updated: 2026-11-10

We compared 9 car wash membership platforms on price, an app with your wash's name and how members get through the entrance, from each vendor's own pages read November 1, 2026. Our pick for an attendant-run wash that wants members in an app with its own name is MeetScarlet: plans sold in your app, plate or pass checks at the entrance, and rain checks, for $349 a month plus $999 setup on monthly billing. We make MeetScarlet.

- Our pick: MeetScarlet, for an attendant-run wash: members in an app with your wash's name, plate or pass checks and rain checks, from $349 a month ($999 setup on monthly billing, free on yearly); no gate connection

- Options: Nine car wash membership options, our pick first

- Dollar prices shown: MeetScarlet and Rinsed (including $765 and $849 a month per location); the others ask for a demo, quote or call on the pages we read

- Gates and tunnels: DRB, Washify and Micrologic let members through the gate by tag or plate; AMP says its experience is integrated with your tunnel and POS; WashCard says it integrates with wash equipment; we found none on Rinsed's or EverWash's pages, could not read Sonny's, and MeetScarlet has none

- App with your wash's brand: MeetScarlet (in every plan), AMP, DRB (Beacon), Micrologic, Sonny's Quivio and WashCard; Washify's app takes your colors and icons; EverWash uses its own app; none found for Rinsed

- Written by: The MeetScarlet team, which makes one of the options; checked November 1, 2026

## Gate systems, membership add-ons and member apps

Car wash membership software comes in three kinds. Gate and recognition systems, like DRB, Washify and Micrologic, tie member recognition by tag or plate to the gate, so a member drives through without stopping. Membership add-ons sit on top of a point of sale: Rinsed on the one you already have, Quivio on the Sonny's point of sale. Member apps, like MeetScarlet, WashCard's UWashApp and EverWash, put the plan on the customer's phone. The first question is whether your wash needs the gate to open by itself; if it does, you need a gate system or a vendor that connects to one. If an attendant runs your entrance, you don't, and a member app with your wash's name, like MeetScarlet, can carry the whole plan.

## How we compared these options

We read each vendor's own product, pricing and help pages on November 1, 2026 and checked four things:

- Whether a price is published, and how it is charged
- How members are recognized at the wash: plate cameras, RFID tags, a code in an app, or an attendant
- Whether it connects to gates, tunnel controllers or pay stations
- Whether members get an app with the wash's brand, and the plans it sells

Prices are from the vendors' US pages, in US dollars. We did not install or test any rival system, used no third-party prices, and left out card processing and per-transaction charges for every option, MeetScarlet included. The rival pages we read don't say which developer account holds the branded app or what store fees apply; MeetScarlet's app sits in your own accounts, so we show those fees. We left out ICS, whose sales site we could not load, and Hanna, which makes equipment rather than membership software. Some Sonny's product pages blocked automated reading, so we used only its Quivio pages. MeetScarlet's facts come from our own pricing and from MeetScarlet's code. Where a page did not say something, we say we did not find it. MeetScarlet is listed first as our pick (we make it); the others follow alphabetically.

## The car wash membership options compared

### MeetScarlet: our pick for smaller or attendant-run washes that want members in an app with the wash's name

MeetScarlet is a white-label booking app from the team writing this guide, and our pick for a wash with an attendant at the entrance. Members buy your unlimited wash plan or a pack in an app with your wash's name, add their plates up to the number you allow, and drive up to a gate your attendant runs: the attendant types the plate or scans the pass in the app and gets a green or red answer. The time between washes counts across every plate on the account and every site, and when it rains, staff turn rain on for that site and each member who washed there in the last day gets one free re-wash credit for their next visit. It is one of the two options here that show a dollar price, and the app is published under your own Apple and Google accounts. See [MeetScarlet for car washes](https://meetscarlet.com/industries/car-washes/).

**Price:** $349 a month for one site, or $499 a month on MeetScarlet Pro (up to three sites, 20 staff logins); $999 setup fee on monthly billing, waived on yearly. **Member app:** Included in every plan, under your own Apple and Google developer accounts ($99 a year to Apple, $25 once to Google). **At the wash:** An attendant checks each member by plate or app pass; one wash at a time across a member's plates and sites; rain-check re-washes; no gate or tunnel connection. [MeetScarlet's pricing](https://meetscarlet.com/#pricing)

- No gate or tunnel connection: an attendant checks each member by plate or app pass and gets a green or red answer, so you need someone at the entrance; it doesn't link to gates, tunnel controllers, plate cameras or pay stations.
- It sells plans and packs in the app, not single washes at a pay station.

### AMP: best for washes that want AI vehicle recognition, kiosks and a white-label app from one vendor

AMP sells car wash membership tools: vehicle recognition, kiosks and a white-label app. Its camera page says AI vehicle recognition tells members, retail guests, first-time visitors and repeat non-members apart, and that you can run your site with or without gates. Its app page says members can start washes from the app and that the experience is “fully integrated with your tunnel and POS systems”. It works with your existing point of sale or with its own kiosks.

**Price:** Not shown on its pages; it offers a free demo. **Member app:** A fully branded, standalone app on the App Store and Google Play under your name and logo, white-labeled with your colors, language and tone. **At the wash:** AI vehicle recognition; washes started from the app; sites run with or without gates; works with your point of sale or its own kiosks. [AMP's page](https://ampmemberships.com/mobile-app/); see also [MeetScarlet vs AMP](https://meetscarlet.com/compare/amp/)

- No price on the pages we read.
- We found no family plans or wash packs on the AMP pages listed under “The pages we read”.

### DRB (SiteWatch, Patheon): best for tunnel washes and chains that want an established point of sale with tag and plate recognition

DRB makes the SiteWatch and Patheon point-of-sale systems for car washes; SiteWatch, it says, introduced the market to unlimited plans. FastPass scans tags on member vehicles and lets them through the gate, prepaids and wash books can be redeemed at any of your locations, and SiteWatch manages multiple locations centrally. Its Beacon app is branded for your business, sells family plans, wash books and gift cards, and DRB handles getting it approved by Apple and Google.

**Price:** Not shown on its pages; it offers demos and information requests. **Member app:** Beacon, a native app branded for your wash, which DRB gets published and approved in the Apple and Google stores. **At the wash:** FastPass tags that let members through the gate; AI plate recognition; Patheon works with third-party tunnel controllers. [DRB's page](https://drb.com/tunnel_solutions/point-of-sale/beacon_mobile); see also [MeetScarlet vs DRB (SiteWatch, Patheon)](https://meetscarlet.com/compare/drb/)

- No price on the pages we read.
- Its AI plate recognition is unavailable in Arkansas, Maine and New Hampshire, and Beacon's link to Patheon currently supports membership data only.

### EverWash: best for washes that would rather join an outside membership program than run their own app

EverWash runs an unlimited car wash membership program with its own app. Members download the EverWash App and scan it at the wash, with no windshield tags or stickers, and its member validation uses smart cameras to match vehicles to active accounts. It offers family plans and discounted plans for businesses and first responders, and says it works with your team and tech vendors to set up.

**Price:** Not shown to wash owners on its pages; members pay one low monthly price, it says. **Member app:** The EverWash App, EverWash's own, with a location finder for members. **At the wash:** Members scan the EverWash App, with no tags or stickers; camera-based member validation; works with your team and tech vendors. [EverWash's page](https://www.everwashpartners.com/members-app/); see also [MeetScarlet vs EverWash](https://meetscarlet.com/compare/everwash/)

- Members use the EverWash app, not an app with your wash's name.
- We found no gate, tunnel controller or pay station named on the EverWash pages listed under “The pages we read”.

### Micrologic (WashCentral): best for operators who want software, gates, plate readers and a branded app from one vendor

Micrologic makes the WashCentral software and its own LogicWash hardware: kiosks, plate readers, tunnel controllers, gates and menu boards. Members are identified by license plate, RFID tag or a digital card in your branded app, and the gate opens as the account is matched. You can create plan tiers, multi-vehicle plans and promotional pricing, and the same per-location rate applies to single and multi-site operators.

**Price:** Per location, with no figure on its pages; it depends on locations and modules such as the branded app. **Member app:** A fully branded iOS and Android app in your name, submitted to the App Store and Google Play under your brand. **At the wash:** Plate recognition, RFID or a scan from the app; its own gates, kiosks and tunnel controllers, or the ones you have. [Micrologic's page](https://micrologic.com/wash-digital); see also [MeetScarlet vs Micrologic (WashCentral)](https://meetscarlet.com/compare/micrologic/)

- No price on the pages we read, and the branded app is a module that changes the price.
- It says plate read rates can drop with dirty, damaged or obstructed plates.
- We found no wash packs on the Micrologic pages listed under “The pages we read”.

### Rinsed: best for washes that keep their point of sale and want a membership CRM on top

Rinsed is a membership CRM for car washes that connects to your point of sale. It sells memberships online, gives members a customer portal to manage them, and says it helps bring the churn of unlimited wash memberships down. Of the nine, it and MeetScarlet are the only ones showing a dollar price on the pages we read, and it offers bundled pricing to multi-location operators.

**Price:** Its pricing page lists prices per location, including $765 and $849 a month, plus $599 one-time implementation per location; 12-month minimum; custom quotes available. **Member app:** None found on the Rinsed pages listed under “The pages we read”; members use a customer portal. **At the wash:** Works with your existing point of sale; no recognition or gate hardware found on the Rinsed pages listed under “The pages we read”. [Rinsed's page](https://www.rinsed.com/pricing); see also [MeetScarlet vs Rinsed](https://meetscarlet.com/compare/rinsed/)

- We found no customer app, wash packs or family plans on the Rinsed pages listed under “The pages we read”; members use a customer portal.
- A 12-month minimum commitment.

### Sonny's (Quivio): best for washes on the Sonny's point of sale that want a branded app and a membership CRM

Quivio is membership and customer software whose site says it “integrates natively with the Sonnys POS”. Its branded app lets members join, upgrade, pause or cancel and update their card, and sells prepaid washes and gift cards, with fleet and family support. It says it works for one site or one hundred and pulls its data from the Sonny's point of sale into one system.

**Price:** Not shown on its pages; it asks you to contact it for pricing. **Member app:** Branded native iOS and Android apps with your logo and colors, in the App Store and Google Play. **At the wash:** Members join, upgrade, pause or cancel in the app; integrates natively with the Sonny's point of sale. [Sonny's's page](https://www.quivio.com/branded-consumer-app/); see also [MeetScarlet vs Sonny's (Quivio)](https://meetscarlet.com/compare/quivio/)

- No price on the Quivio pages we read.
- Sonny's own pages for its point of sale and plate reader blocked automated reading, so we could not check them.

### WashCard (UWashApp): best for independent self-serve and in-bay washes that want card payments and a branded loyalty app

WashCard sells cashless payment systems and loyalty software for independent car wash operators. Its UWashApp is branded to match your business and offers unlimited memberships or plans with a monthly limit, wash packages that aren't time-sensitive, and business accounts for employees. Its payment equipment takes tap, chip, swipe and mobile wallet payments in automatic, self-serve and vacuum bays.

**Price:** Not shown on its pages; it offers a free consultation and a quote. **Member app:** UWashApp, which it calls branded to match your business; its pages also tell customers to download the UWash App and join it under your wash, and don't say whether each wash gets its own store listing. **At the wash:** Card and mobile-wallet payments in automatic, self-serve and vacuum bays; unlimited or limited monthly plans and wash packages. [WashCard's page](https://washcard.com/offerings/uwashapp/); see also [MeetScarlet vs WashCard (UWashApp)](https://meetscarlet.com/compare/washcard/)

- No price on the pages we read.
- Its FAQ says it can “integrate with pretty much anything”, but we found no plate, tag or code recognition and no gate wording on the WashCard pages listed under “The pages we read”.

### Washify (by DRB): best for single-site or small washes that want an entry-level point of sale with tags or plate recognition

Washify is DRB's point of sale for smaller washes. Customers join your unlimited membership on your website, in the app, at the point of sale or at the pay station, and you can sell memberships, gift cards and wash books online. It recognizes members by RFID tag or license plate, and its RFID system lets members through the gate to redeem washes.

**Price:** Not shown on its page; it asks you to contact its team. **Member app:** A mobile app where customers can sign up for your monthly wash plan, with colors, buttons and icons customized to your brand. **At the wash:** RFID tags that let members through the gate, or license plate recognition; the X Station pay station. [Washify's page](https://drb.com/tunnel_solutions/point-of-sale/washify); see also [MeetScarlet vs Washify (by DRB)](https://meetscarlet.com/compare/washify/)

- No price on its page, and the page doesn't say whose name the app carries.
- DRB calls it its entry-level point of sale for single-site or small washes.

## Questions

Straight answers. Anything else, ask us on a demo.

### What is the best car wash membership app?

For an attendant-run wash that wants members in an app with its own name, our pick is MeetScarlet: plans and packs sold in your app, plate or pass checks at the entrance and rain-check re-washes, from $349 a month ($999 setup on monthly billing, free on yearly). To let members through the gate by tag or plate, look at DRB, Micrologic or Washify; to add memberships to the point of sale you have, Rinsed, or Sonny's Quivio on the Sonny's point of sale. We make MeetScarlet.

### Which car wash software opens the gate for members automatically?

DRB and Washify say their RFID tag readers let members through the gate, and Micrologic says the gate opens as a plate or tag is matched. We could not read Sonny's gate pages. MeetScarlet does not open gates: the attendant gets a green or red answer.

### Which options give my wash its own branded app?

MeetScarlet includes an app with your wash's name in every plan, published under your own Apple and Google accounts, and AMP, DRB's Beacon, Micrologic, Sonny's Quivio and WashCard's UWashApp each offer an app with your wash's brand. Washify's app takes your colors and icons, though its page doesn't say whose name it carries. EverWash members use the EverWash app, and we found no customer app on Rinsed's pages.

### Can I run an unlimited wash club without gates or plate cameras?

Yes. MeetScarlet is built for an attendant who checks each member's plate or app pass, and AMP says you can run your site with or without gates. Micrologic notes that gateless lanes with an attendant trade hardware cost for labor and revenue risk.

### Which car wash membership software publishes its price?

Of the nine here, only MeetScarlet ($349 a month for one site, plus $999 setup on monthly billing) and Rinsed (prices per location including $765 and $849 a month, plus $599 implementation) show a dollar price on the pages we read. The others ask for a demo, a quote or a call; Sonny's point-of-sale pages blocked us.

### Is this guide independent?

No. We make MeetScarlet and list it first as our pick of the nine car wash options here. Every rival fact comes from that vendor's own pages, and every option, MeetScarlet included, lists its limits.
