## Ways to pay less

- **Save 2 months with yearly billing** (Annual discount): Loyverse's pricing page says paying yearly for an add-on saves the equivalent of two months. Source: https://loyverse.com/pricing

## 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.
- **Barcode labels:** Print barcode labels, and connect a barcode scanner, receipt printer and cash drawer.
- **Offline selling:** The POS keeps recording sales without internet and syncs to the back office afterward.
- **Multiple stores:** Manage items, employees and customers across stores from a single account.
- **Reports:** Revenue, average sale, profit, best sellers and sales history, exportable to spreadsheets.

## Good for

- Single shops, cafes and market stalls that want free stock tracking inside their till
- Owners who sell from a phone or tablet they already have
- Small chains that need 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: A.** The 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.

- **Features: C.** Stock 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: C.** Adding items, taxes and devices is the work, and no store rating is on record.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web back office plus iOS and Android apps, with integrations the vendor lists.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- You could not: Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: An API that other software can build on.
