SumUp POS (formerly Tiller Systems) advertises "free" but charges 1.75% on every card transaction, or imposes a 25€/month subscription to drop to 0.99%. digabloPos is freemium: free forever, zero fees on your sales, optional modules à la carte. Let's compare honestly.
SumUp acquired Tiller Systems in 2021 and progressively rebranded the product as "SumUp POS". The software is NF525-certified, tightly integrated with SumUp's payment ecosystem, and popular with French restaurateurs. Its "free" positioning hides a 1.75% commission on every card sale on the base plan — that's 17.50€ taken from 1,000€ in sales. To avoid it, you must upgrade to SumUp One at 25€/month (which drops the commission to 0.99%). digabloPos takes a radically different approach: the POS software itself is completely free, there are no fees on your sales (you keep 100% of what you collect), and only optional paid modules if you need them (real-time notifications, advanced multi-device sync). For a merchant doing 30,000€ in monthly card revenue, the annual difference exceeds 6,000€.

digabloPos takes no percentage on your sales. SumUp Lite's 1.75% represents 6,300€ per year for a merchant at 30,000€ monthly card revenue. That money stays in your cash drawer.
The POS software is free forever. You only pay for the modules you need (real-time notifications, advanced features). No forced subscription, no disguised "premium plan".
With SumUp, you are locked into their payment ecosystem. digabloPos works with your existing card terminal (any bank) or cash. You negotiate card rates with whoever you want.
SumUp limits offline mode to card payments with a mandatory reconnection within 24h. digabloPos works offline indefinitely, all features included, inventory and products covered.
If you have export plans or operate in Francophone Africa, digabloPos natively supports the CFA franc (XOF/XAF), 6 languages, and works everywhere. SumUp remains heavily European.
Start free with digabloPos. Zero commission on your sales, NF525 compliance included, optional modules à la carte. Guided migration from SumUp or Tiller.
