30-second verdict

Smaregi

If you want a POS-centric tool that goes deep on inventory and multi-store analytics — Smaregi fits. Tiered pricing lets you scale features with your size.

ROS

If you want POS together with reservations, SNS, shifts, and accounting under one OS, with AI automation — Nekti fits. Pick the plugins you actually need.
