POS software cost for small and medium businesses
For small shops and chains, the real question isn't price — it's whether to build your own or rent off-the-shelf SaaS. The figures are budgeting estimates, not an actual invoice.
POS software cost for small and medium businesses
If you only need cashier POS, SKU management and a few basic reports, renting KiotViet, Sapo POS or Square is often the fast, sensible choice. But once you have specific workflows — combo pricing, group-based discounts, multi-marketplace sync — a lean custom build can cost less over time without feature limits. TOT uses AI to cut 35-50% of the effort, making a right-sized POS realistic for small and medium businesses while standardising cash-register e-invoicing under Decree 70/2025. This tool helps you weigh build versus buy with concrete numbers. The tool includes a reference price list for each AI plan; these are budgeting estimates, and for a detailed quote on your POS/retail software TOT scopes it first.
Frequently asked questions
How much does POS software cost for a small or medium business?
A lean POS for an SMB usually needs only a few core modules, so the scope is modest. The tool turns each module into person-months and AI tokens so you can see the numbers before deciding to build or buy.
Should an SMB build its own POS or rent SaaS?
If your needs are common and budget is tight, renting KiotViet, Sapo POS or Square gets you running immediately. Building makes sense when you have specific workflows or want to avoid rent that grows with every new store.
Is building your own risky for a small business?
TOT uses AI to cut 35-50% of the effort, so a tight scope stays feasible for SMBs. Just make sure cash-register e-invoicing under Decree 70/2025 and customer data under Decree 13/2023 are handled from the design stage.
Are these estimates accurate?
They are general estimates for weighing build versus buy, not a final quote. Actual cost depends on scope, customisation and data migration, which TOT confirms after a closer look.
Is there a detailed price list and quote for POS/retail software?
The tool gives a cost estimate with a reference price list for each AI plan. It is not an official quote — for a detailed quote on your POS/retail software (by scope, features and integrations), contact TOT to scope it.
