Comparison brief
Looking for an alternative to Wafeq?
Wafeq is an accounting and invoicing platform focused on Saudi compliance, with a documented e-invoicing API, and point of sale is not listed among its products (August 2026). Snad brings accounting, the till, inventory and HR together among its nine apps, and has no public API today. The only price Wafeq publishes as text is “from SAR 99 a month”, and that is what we quote.

Snad
What Snad does
- The till in the same program
- Point of sale is one of the nine apps: cash and card, a barcode reader and a shift per cashier, and each sale deducts stock and creates its entry at the same moment.
- Payroll from attendance to the journal
- Attendance and leave: annual, sick, unpaid, maternity, paternity and Hajj. A payroll run computes lateness, early leave, absence, unpaid leave and overtime, then posts its entry automatically: salary expense against salaries payable.
- Financial reports
- The trial balance, balance sheet, income and cash-flow statements, and the bank book. VAT posts to its own accounts and shows in the trial balance.
