Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 69 of the 72 other inventory management tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Loyverse, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Adding items, taxes and devices is the work, and no store rating is on record.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $5 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $5 per store / month for unlimited sales history; advanced inventory $25 per store / month.
- 3
There is a free plan
Point of sale, 31 days of sales reports, essential inventory with low-stock alerts, loyalty program, customer and kitchen displays, multi-store management and integrations.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Real-time stock levels
Tracks stock for items and their components, with automatic low-stock alerts, on the free plan.
- 6
Purchase orders and transfers
Sending orders to suppliers, tracking receipts and moving stock between stores need the Advanced inventory add-on.
- 7
Barcode labels
Print barcode labels, and connect a barcode scanner, receipt printer and cash drawer.
- 8
A 2.8 GPA, above 69 of 72
That is against the other inventory management tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Free plan and trial | B | One 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 | 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
