# Snad vs Daftra 2026: Full Comparison at Official Prices *Two all-in-one systems that make the same promise but differ in focus and localisation: Daftra with its regional reach, and Snad, built for the Saudi market first. The complete line-by-line comparison using official figures.* > **In short:** Snad vs Daftra 2026: official SAR pricing from both sites, feature scope, invoice limits, ZATCA e-invoicing, support and Saudi localisation compared. - **URL:** https://www.snad.io/en/blog/snad-am-daftra-muqarana-tafsiliya - **Arabic original:** https://www.snad.io/blog/snad-am-daftra-muqarana-tafsiliya - **Category:** Comparison — Business Systems - **Tags:** Daftra, System Comparison, Snad alternatives, Accounting Software, business management software - **Published:** 2026-07-11 - **Updated:** 2026-09-15 - **Publisher:** Snad (snad.io) Snad or Daftra? These are the two systems that come closest in the promise they make — one Arabic system for accounting, invoicing, inventory and the cashier — and the furthest apart in the details you touch every day. Daftra caps invoices, customers and users on its lower plans and serves several Arab markets at once. Snad is built for the Saudi market first, with no invoice ceiling on any plan and attendance-based payroll — overtime, absence, lateness and unpaid leave — with its journal entry. Here is the full comparison using the figures published on both companies' own websites — August 2026. ## The competitor closest to us in form — and clearest in its differences Of all the competitors, [Daftra](https://www.daftra.com/) is the closest to Snad in the promise it makes publicly: one Arabic system that brings together accounting, invoicing, inventory, point of sale (POS) and human resources. Daftra belongs to Izam (with offices in the United States and Egypt) and serves several Arab markets. So why does the market need a comparison between two systems that look so alike? Because the differences that surface in daily use never appear on a features page: **invoice and user limits, the depth of Saudi localisation, where support sits, and the plan model itself**. And as always: we are the [Snad](/erp) team, our bias is declared, and the figures below come from both systems' own websites as of August 2026. ## Pricing head to head in SAR From both official pricing pages (August 2026): - **Daftra Basic:** SAR 95 per month at the promotional price currently advertised (its original price is SAR 120) — one user, with a cap of 100 invoices per month and 100 customers. - **Daftra Advanced:** SAR 155 per month at the advertised price (originally SAR 220). - **Daftra Comprehensive:** SAR 225 per month at the advertised price (originally SAR 320). - **Snad:** Starter SAR 0 (3 apps), Basic SAR 149 (5 apps), Pro SAR 399 per month ([all nine apps](/pricing)). **Note three things about Daftra's numbers.** First, the advertised prices are promotional offers and the original prices are higher, so confirm your renewal price before you commit. Second, the extra user at SAR 35 per month on the Basic plan raises your cost as your team grows — and on Snad an additional user is SAR 20 per month above what the plan includes (3 on Basic and 5 on Pro), so work out the difference on your actual user count, not on the plan price alone. Third, a fair comparison between "Snad Basic" (SAR 149) and "Daftra Basic" (SAR 95) has to account for the limits inside each plan — which is exactly what the next section covers. ## Feature scope: level on paper, different in depth Both systems offer accounting, invoices [compliant with the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA)](/zatca), inventory, point of sale, human resources and fixed asset management. Phase Two starts on Basic in Snad, and on the Advanced plan in Daftra (its Basic plan covers "Phase One" — Daftra's pricing page, August 2026). The differences sit in the detail: - **Where Daftra fairly comes out ahead:** point of sale with no device limit on any plan, and a till that works offline with automatic sync; Tabby and Tamara payment integrations; specialised operational modules such as work orders, bookings, rental management, time tracking and manufacturing; round-the-clock support; and service across several Arab markets for anyone working across borders. - **Where Snad comes out ahead:** you choose your apps from all nine — including [asset management](/asset-management) and [payroll](/hr) — even on the free plan (three apps); payroll is attendance-based — overtime, absence, lateness and unpaid leave — with its journal entry; and invoices are unlimited on every plan. - **On assets and warehouses:** Daftra offers three depreciation methods plus a no-depreciation option, and Snad straight-line only. Daftra includes 1, 3 and 5 warehouses by plan, with extra ones paid. ## Saudi localisation: focus versus reach The deepest difference between the two systems is not a feature. It is an identity: - **Daftra is a regional Arabic system** serving several Arab markets. That is a strength if you work in several markets, and it also means Saudi Arabia is one of several markets the platform serves. - **Snad is built for the Saudi market first:** [a Saudi company with a published commercial registration (CR) and tax number](/about). The system is built around ZATCA e-invoicing, and support is a team that lives on Riyadh time and understands "Nitaqat", "Mudad" and "the invoicing waves" without needing them explained. And when ZATCA issues an update, every customer of a Saudi-focused system is directly affected by it. That is a structural observation rather than an accusation against anyone, and it deserves weight in your decision. ## The hidden plan limits Read the pricing pages with an auditor's eye: - **Daftra's invoice and customer limits:** its official pricing page (August 2026) sets the Basic plan at 100 invoices per month and 100 customers. A business with active sales may hit that ceiling and be pushed into an upgrade before it has genuinely grown. Snad does not limit the number of invoices on any plan. - **User limits:** Daftra's Basic plan comes with one user, and an extra user costs SAR 35 per month. Always compare how many users are included before you look at the price — and upgrading with Snad raises the included count to 5 users on Pro, with SAR 20 per user per month beyond that. - **The trial:** Daftra offers 14 days with no card per its pricing page (August 2026); Snad offers 7 days with no card, and a permanently free Starter plan after that. ## The full comparison table Per both official websites — August 2026: | Criterion | Snad | Daftra | |---|---|---| | Starting price | SAR 0, then SAR 149/month | SAR 95/month on a promotional offer (originally 120) | | Monthly invoice limit | Unlimited on every plan | 100 invoices/month on Basic | | Customer limit | Unlimited | 100 customers on Basic and 300 on Advanced | | Users | 3 on Basic and 5 on Pro (+SAR 20 per extra user) | One user on Basic (+SAR 35 per extra user) | | Point of sale | ✓ included in the plan | ✓ no device limit | | Human resources and payroll | ✓ attendance-based payroll | ✓ | | Asset management | ✓ | ✓ | | ZATCA e-invoicing — Phase Two | ✓ built in (Basic and Pro) | from the Advanced plan (Basic: Phase One) | | Geographic focus | Saudi Arabia first, plus a global edition in USD | Several Arab markets | | Permanent free plan | ✓ | Not listed on the pricing page | | Free trial | 7 days, no card | 14 days, no card | ![Snad and Daftra plan pricing compared in SAR 2026](/images/blog/snad-vs-daftra-pricing-2026.svg) ![Matrix of the core differences between Snad and Daftra](/images/blog/snad-vs-daftra-matrix-2026.svg) ## When to choose Daftra, and when to choose Snad **Choose Daftra if:** - you need operational modules such as work orders, manufacturing, rental management and time tracking. - you work in more than one Arab market and want software that serves several Arab markets. - you need unlimited point-of-sale devices from the lowest plan, a till that works offline, or round-the-clock support. **Choose [Snad](/pricing) if:** - your business is Saudi-focused and you want a system that lives in your market: prices published in SAR, Saudi support, attendance-based payroll, and ZATCA updates as the first priority rather than one of several. - your sales are active and you do not want an invoice ceiling following you around. - you manage assets (equipment, vehicles, devices) and want their depreciation and maintenance in the same system. - you want to start with no commitment: [a 7-day trial](/free) with no card, and a permanently free Starter plan before you pay anything.

Both are serious all-in-one Arabic systems, and the deciding factor is your identity. For a Saudi-focused business that wants pricing in SAR, local support, attendance-based payroll and invoices with no ceiling, the answer is Snad. For operational modules such as work orders, manufacturing and rentals, unlimited point-of-sale devices, or work spanning several Arab markets, the answer is Daftra. Compare the total cost and the plan limits, not the advertised price alone. ### How much does Daftra cost in SAR? Per Daftra's official pricing page for Saudi Arabia (August 2026), prices are shown in Saudi riyals: Basic at SAR 95 per month on the advertised offer (originally 120), Advanced at SAR 155 (originally 220), and Comprehensive at SAR 225 (originally 320), with annual pricing of SAR 1,140, 1,860 and 2,700 at a discount of up to 30%. Prices are subject to change, so check their page before you subscribe. ### Is Daftra compliant with ZATCA? Yes — per Daftra's pricing page (August 2026), its Basic plan covers "Phase One" of e-invoicing, and Advanced and Comprehensive cover "Phase One and Two". Snad is likewise compliant with both phases, with digital signature, XML and QR integration on the Basic and Pro plans. With any provider, confirm that your specific plan includes integration with the Fatoora platform and not only invoice generation. ### Does Daftra limit the number of monthly invoices? Yes — its official pricing page (August 2026) sets the Basic plan at 100 invoices per month and 100 customers, and the limits rise with each upgrade until they become unlimited on the Comprehensive plan. For a business with active sales, that can mean an early upgrade. Snad does not place a limit on the number of invoices on any plan, including the free one; upgrading with us is about users, apps, ZATCA integration and the watermark. ### How do I move my data from Daftra to Snad? Prepare your customers, suppliers and products in Excel files and import them into Snad, then enter your opening balances on screen (the ready Arabic chart of accounts is not imported) — our support team walks you through it step by step, free of charge. Run the migration at the start of a financial quarter and keep both systems running in parallel for a month for peace of mind. Snad's 7-day trial and the permanently free Starter plan let you start that parallel run at no cost. --- ## About the publisher **Snad (سند)** — a private Saudi software company based in Madinah, founded 2025.
