The verdict

Zoho POS fits well if your business already uses Zoho Books, Inventory or CRM, because the POS sits inside the same suite. Its free plan covers one register and one user, and paid plans are priced per location. Offline billing is listed from the Standard plan, and apps are available for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. Local taxes such as VAT or GST are added on top of the listed prices.

Choose AIFFICIENTO if you want the counter, purchasing, customer khata, barcode labels and AI tools in one retail product. Our current feature set includes Geto, which can scan supplier bills into purchase drafts and create products from a photo or short video. AIFFICIENTO also supports Arabic item names and tax-authority integrations such as FTA e-invoicing and ZATCA, which are configured on request for your registration.

Zoho's pricing adds charges for extra users, registers and storage on top of the base plan. Compare the total monthly cost for your shop size, not just the first price. Our Starter plan is AED 39 a month in the UAE, with a 30-day trial that includes full access and needs no card. Confirm any tax integration with the authority before you rely on it.
