How to choose

Which devices does the POS need to run on?

Check the platform marks against the devices your business already uses. The board covers web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and API availability.

If staff need to use an iPad, confirm iOS support before comparing other features.

How can I compare POS pricing?

Check whether a tool has a free plan, a free trial, or a paid starting price. A trial gives you a period to try a product; it is different from a continuing free plan.

Prices and plans vary by product. For example, eHopper has a free plan, while Epos Now lists a starting price of $84 per month.

What payment setup should I look for?

Choose a payment setup that fits how your business takes payments. The board compares payment setup, but the available facts do not specify payment methods for individual tools.

Which inventory and location features do I need?

Consider whether you need inventory tracking or support for more than one location. The board compares both, along with staff account limits and customer profiles.

Check the product details for the specific limits and capabilities that fit your operation.

Will the POS work without an internet connection?

If service interruptions are a concern, compare offline mode. Check product details for what remains available while offline and what needs a connection.
