SunPass + E-Z Pass = SunPass Pro
E-Pass + E-Z Pass = UNI

Since it appears that every toll road that previously accepted SunPass or E-Pass now accepts E-Z Pass, I can't see a functional difference between the SunPass Pro, UNI, or E-Z Pass.

States that used to only accept SunPass/E-Pass *might* have discounts for using SunPass Pro or UNI over using E-Z Pass.

Some States that sell E-Z Pass charge a maintenance fee if you don't have an address withing that State. A MD E-Z Pass will costs $1.50 per month if you have a Florida address. I haven't seen anywhere to buy a Florida E-Z Pass.

It appears the only significant difference between the three is cost. One might have a lower cost to purchase than the others and E-Z Pass comes with a maintenance fee if purchased from certain States.

I returned my MD E-Z Pass when I established Florida residency and now use a Sunpass Pro.
From SoNomad:
UniPass - Its main advantage is its portability: you can easily transfer UniPass from one vehicle to another. Moreover, this transponder is compatible with motorcycles and rental cars, allowing you to travel hassle-free.

It is easy to add/change/swap car info.I think there is not much difference between them after all.
