Compare
Niktrix and Square, honestly.
We do not print their prices here: they change them, and a number from last quarter is worse than no number. What is below is what each company publishes about how it works.
When Square is the right choice
- You want to start this afternoon, by yourself, with a reader in a box.
- You already run Square in another location and want one dashboard for both.
- You sell at markets and pop-ups as much as at a counter.
- You like building the menu and setting up the hardware yourself.
When we are
- You want somebody to arrive, install it and train your staff before the morning rush.
- You want the kiosk to speak English, Spanish and Russian.
- You want the kiosk taking orders beside the register you already have.
- You want one number to call that answers the same day.
