Which one is for you
Pick ConnectPOS if
- Fits if you have a shop and an online store on the same platform and want one stock count
- Works for stores that have to keep ringing up sales when the internet goes down
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you run several registers, because $39 to $89 is charged for each one, and $10 more on monthly billing
- Watch out: stock transfer, stock-take and multi-source inventory are on the $89 Premium plan only
- Not for you if you want a free plan or trial, as none is recorded in the listing
- Too light for a full inventory system on the cheaper plans, since the inventory product is sold separately
Pick Loyverse if
- Fits if you run a shop or cafe and want a free till with stock counts
- Works for small multi-store owners watching cost
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you need reports older than 31 days, as longer history is $5 a store a month
- Watch out: purchase orders and stock transfers need the $25 a store advanced inventory add-on
- Not for you if you hold stock without selling at a counter, because stock tracking is lighter than in dedicated tools
- Pricey if you add staff, since employee management is billed per employee
How we grade them
| 1.8GPAConnectPOSWeak | 2.8GPALoyverseGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$39 per register a month on the yearly plan is inside the cheapest quarter of inventory tools, which start at $49. It is per register, though, so each till adds to the bill. | AThe point of sale and essential stock tracking are free. Paid add-ons are $5 a store for longer history and $25 a store for advanced inventory, both under 60% of this category's $49 cheaper-quarter start. |
| Free plan and trial | FThe listing records no free plan and no trial, so the way in is paying. | BOne shop can run on the free plan, with a 31-day report limit. Every paid add-on has a 14-day trial with no card. |
| Features | COnline store sync, offline mode, reports and a stock module. The listing's own gap is that stock transfer, stock-take and multi-source inventory need Premium, and it is a till first with the full inventory product sold apart. | CStock levels, alerts, barcode labels, offline selling and multiple stores. Purchase orders and transfers sit in the $25 add-on, and it is a till first, so stock work is lighter than dedicated software. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating is on record, and you have to connect it to an online store and set up registers before it does anything. | CAdding items, taxes and devices is the work, and no store rating is on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | CKiosks, tablets, phones and desktops through the browser, with Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and NetSuite listed. The pages do not name the devices more exactly, and there is no desktop app. | BWeb back office plus iOS and Android apps, with integrations the vendor lists. |
| Best for | a till that syncs stock with a Shopify or Magento store | a free till with basic stock tracking |

Worth knowing

- It is a POS first; the full inventory management product is listed separately.
- Which devices it runs on is described only as kiosks, tablets, smartphones and desktops.
Loyverse
- The free plan shows only the last 31 days of sales reports; longer history costs $5 per store a month.
- Purchase orders, stock transfers and deeper inventory insight need the $25 per store Advanced inventory add-on.
- Employee management is billed per employee, so cost grows with staff size.
- It is a point-of-sale system first; stock tracking for a business that does not sell at a counter is lighter than dedicated inventory software.

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
