Compare · Side by side

Clover charges you three separate ways.

The station costs four figures, the software rents by the month per device, and the processing sits on top. Then the exit fee nobody mentions: Clover hardware is tied to the processor that sold it, so leaving usually means buying your counter again. PandazPOS includes the hardware and the software, and the numbers live on one line you read before you sign.

The questions everyone asks

Ask us what you'd ask them.

Q.1
"We already bought Clover hardware."
That money is spent either way: the hardware stays tied to the processor it came from. Our counter hardware is free, so the sunk cost stops deciding your next five years.
Q.2
"Clover works fine."
It does, and then the statement arrives: device fee, software tier, app subscriptions, processing. Bring one month's Clover statement to the demo and we will put ours next to it.
Q.3
"Switching sounds painful."
Setup and menu migration are free and done for you. Your old register keeps ringing until the day the new one takes over.
Book a 15-minute demo. Bring your current statement; we read it line by line.
