Good · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for a free till with basic stock tracking
Loyverse is a point of sale for phones and tablets with a web back office, and the free plan includes basic stock levels and low-stock alerts. Sales reports only go back 31 days, and purchase orders and transfers need a $25 a store add-on.
Who Loyverse is for
- Fits if you run a shop or cafe and want a free till with stock counts
- Works for small multi-store owners watching cost
Who Loyverse is not for
- 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
Why Loyverse gets a 2.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyThe 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.
- BFree plan and trialOne 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.
- CFeaturesStock 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.
- CEase of useAdding items, taxes and devices is the work, and no store rating is on record.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb back office plus iOS and Android apps, with integrations the vendor lists.

Keep Loyverse, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Loyverse you could make: inventory and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 69 of the 72 other inventory management tools we grade. It costs $60 a year.
What you could make
- Inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Loyverse’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Loyverse?
Loyverse is a point-of-sale system that runs on iOS and Android phones and tablets, with a web back office for reports, items and stock. Its inventory tools track stock levels and low-stock alerts for free; purchase orders and transfers between stores are a paid add-on. It also covers loyalty, kitchen and customer displays, and several stores in one account.
Worth knowing
- 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.
Key features
- Real-time stock levels
- Tracks stock for items and their components, with automatic low-stock alerts, on the free plan.
- Purchase orders and transfers
- Sending orders to suppliers, tracking receipts and moving stock between stores need the Advanced inventory add-on.

- Multiple stores
