Loyverse and digabloPos are both free POS systems, but their approaches differ significantly. Discover which one best fits your business, especially if you operate in an emerging market.
Loyverse is a popular free POS system that offers a functional point of sale with inventory and employee management, available in 30+ languages. Loyverse offers a partial offline mode (cash sales work, but refunds, card payments, and customer registration do not) and supports only one currency per account. digabloPos, designed specifically for emerging markets, provides a complete offline mode with full functionality, multi-currency support, and 6 languages including Swahili. If your business is in an area with unreliable connectivity or if you work with multiple currencies, digabloPos is the most suitable solution.

digabloPos is offline-first with all features available offline. Loyverse offers a partial offline mode (cash sales work, but refunds, card payments, and customer registration do not). For areas with limited network coverage, digabloPos is more reliable.
Manage multiple currencies in a single account. Perfect for border businesses or tourist areas where customers pay in différent currencies. Loyverse only supports one currency.
Extend credit to loyal customers and track balances in real time. This feature is essential in emerging markets where informal credit is common practice. Loyverse does not offer this option.
digabloPos is available in French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Swahili. Loyverse offers 30+ languages but does not include Swahili, a key language for East African markets.
Both solutions offer a free customer display. The digabloPos Smart Display System (SDS) turns a second screen into a versatile display (customer, kitchen, orders), while Loyverse offers a dedicated CDS app.
