The verdict

Square is built for fast setup. Its POS software has a free plan, card processing is part of the same service, and it accepts offline cash and card payments on Square hardware. Square's pricing page also lists staff management, loyalty and reporting on its paid plans. If you want one provider for the register, the card terminal and payouts, and you do not need local tax-authority integration, Square's model is designed for that.

Choose AIFFICIENTO if you need features Square's pages do not describe: a Windows counter application, customer khata with credit limits and statements, bill scanning that turns supplier bills into purchase drafts, product creation from a photo or short video, a barcode label designer, Urdu and Arabic item names, multi-currency pricing, and tax-authority integration configured for your registration in Pakistan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India and other markets.

Square bundles card processing with its POS. Before you choose AIFFICIENTO, confirm how your card payments would be taken in your shop. AIFFICIENTO records cash, card, wallet, bank, customer credit and loyalty points as split payments. Square's pages we checked do not show paid plan prices or the card rate, so use Square's own pricing page to compare total cost. Our Starter plan is $10 a month, with a 30-day trial that includes full access and needs no card.
