Autosweep vs Easytrip
Philippines has two expressway RFID systems: Autosweep (SMC Tollways) and Easytrip (MPTC). This guide compares both systems side-by-side to help you decide which RFID you need — or if you need both.
Autosweep vs Easytrip Comparison
Here is a side-by-side comparison of the two RFID systems used on Philippine expressways:
| Operator | Autosweep: SMC Tollways | Easytrip: MPTC |
| Sticker Cost | Autosweep: ₱200 | Easytrip: ₱200 |
| Minimum Initial Load | Autosweep: ₱200 (₱400 total) | Easytrip: ₱300 (₱500 total) |
| Expressways | Autosweep: SLEX, Skyway, Skyway Stage 3, STAR, NAIAX, MCX | Easytrip: NLEX, SCTEX, TPLEX, CALAX, CAVITEX, NLEX Connector, Harbor Link |
| Reload Options | Both: GCash, Maya, Banks, Toll Plaza, 7-Eleven |
| Balance Check | Both: Mobile App, Website, SMS, Toll Plaza Display, Hotline |
| Hotline | Autosweep: (02) 5318-8655 | Easytrip: (02) 8-3279-8747 |
Which Expressways Use Which RFID?
The key difference is simple: SMC Tollways expressways use Autosweep, and MPTC expressways use Easytrip. There is currently no interoperability between the two systems — you cannot use Autosweep on an Easytrip expressway or vice versa.
| Autosweep Expressways | SLEX, Skyway (1 & 2), Skyway Stage 3, STAR Tollway, NAIAX, MCX |
| Easytrip Expressways | NLEX, SCTEX, TPLEX, CALAX, CAVITEX, NLEX Connector, Harbor Link |
Do I Need Both RFID?
If you only travel on northern expressways (NLEX, SCTEX, TPLEX), you only need Easytrip. If you only travel on southern expressways (SLEX, Skyway, STAR), you only need Autosweep. However, if you travel on both — for example, taking Skyway Stage 3 from SLEX to NLEX — you will need BOTH RFID stickers. Most regular expressway users in Metro Manila install both Autosweep and Easytrip to have full coverage.
RFID Interoperability Status
As of 2026, Autosweep and Easytrip are NOT interoperable. The government has been working on a unified toll collection system, but full interoperability has not yet been achieved. Until then, motorists who use both SMC and MPTC expressways must maintain two separate RFID accounts with sufficient balances.
Cost Comparison
Getting both RFID systems installed costs a total of ₱900: Autosweep (₱200 sticker + ₱200 load = ₱400) plus Easytrip (₱200 sticker + ₱300 load = ₱500). This is a one-time cost that gives you access to all expressways in the Philippines. We recommend loading at least ₱500 on each RFID for comfortable travel.

No, Autosweep and Easytrip are not interchangeable. Autosweep only works on SMC Tollways expressways (SLEX, Skyway, STAR, NAIAX, MCX), and Easytrip only works on MPTC expressways (NLEX, SCTEX, TPLEX, CALAX, CAVITEX). You need the correct RFID for the expressway you are traveling on.
The Philippine government has been working toward RFID interoperability, but as of 2026, the two systems remain separate. There is no confirmed date for full integration. Until interoperability is achieved, you need both RFID stickers for full expressway access.
It depends on which expressways you use most. If you primarily travel on NLEX and northern expressways, get Easytrip first. If you use SLEX, Skyway, or southern expressways, get Autosweep first. If you travel on both, install both RFID systems at the same time — it takes about 20 minutes total.
Yes, many vehicles have both RFID stickers on the same windshield. They are placed in different positions and do not interfere with each other. Autosweep is typically installed on the upper center, while Easytrip is placed slightly to the side. Each has its own separate account and balance.
