Compare Square POS vs. TallyTill

Square POS is a simple, intuitive point-of sale (POS) solution. It provides a rich set of tools for inventory tracking, sales tracking, online payment processing and digital receipts. Square POS is available for Android and iOS devices. It records transactions offline by storing data locally, then automatically syncing information when there is an Internet connection. Square POS allows users to manage details such as names, prices and quantities. It also offers features such as a barcode scanner and discounts, credit card processing and gift cards, refunds and more.

TallyTill offers a self-service checkout solution tailored for small and unattended retail environments, such as farm stands, honor boxes, micro markets, market booths, camp stores, and event entrances. Users can utilize their existing devices, like smartphones or tablets, eliminating the need for proprietary terminals or additional card readers, as transactions can be completed directly on the device. Customers have the ability to either scan a barcode or take a picture of items that lack barcodes—such as loose produce, baked goods, plants, and cut flowers—with AI technology recognizing them from the store's catalog. Payment options are versatile, including card, tap to pay, QR codes, or cash and checks using an envelope code. The system supports two modes: an honor mode for unattended transactions and a kiosk mode that secures the app on a tablet for solo use, ensuring sales can queue offline and synchronize once the internet connection is restored. Additional features encompass catalog management, jurisdiction-specific sales tax calculations, receipt generation, ticket and wristband printing, along with comprehensive reporting and reconciliation tools. Uniquely, TallyTill offers a free plan with no card requirements, expiration dates, or contracts, making it an accessible choice for small businesses. This approach not only enhances the customer experience but also streamlines operations for retailers, fostering efficiency and convenience.
