How to choose

Which platforms does the software need to support?

Choose software that runs on the platform you plan to use. The board compares web, Android, iOS, Linux, Windows and self-hosted options.

Check the individual platform details before choosing; platform support varies.

Should the kiosk software be cloud-based or self-hosted?

Choose a deployment that fits how you plan to run the kiosk. Deployment is a comparison point, and Deliverect Kiosk is listed as cloud-based.

Self-hosted is also a platform option to compare.

Can I try the software or use a free plan?

Check the free-plan and free-trial details separately: a trial is not the same as a continuing free plan.

Pricing may be listed as a starting price or available on request. Kiosk Pro starts at $5 per month; Acrelec does not publish a price and asks customers to request one.

Which kiosk features should I compare?

Assess offline operation, payment handling, device administration, peripheral compatibility, kiosk quantities and receipt printing against your requirements.

These details can help you narrow the options without assuming that a feature works the same way across products.
