How much does a POS system cost in Saudi Arabia?
POS cost is two separate items that are often conflated: the software you pay for by subscription, and the hardware you buy once. On top of those sit any per-till or per-branch fees, payment integration charges, and e-invoicing if it is a separate upgrade.
At Snad: point of sale is an app inside the system rather than a separate product, available on every plan at 0, 149, and 399 SAR per month with no per-till fee.
The five cost components
Ask any vendor about these five before signing — not about the advertised price alone.
| Component | The question that reveals it | At Snad |
|---|---|---|
| Software subscription | Is the price per till or for the whole account? | For the whole account — no per-till charge |
| Hardware | Do you need the vendor's own device, or does it run on what you have? | Runs in the browser on the devices you already own |
| Branches | What does a second branch cost? Are reports consolidated across them? | Multi-branch management with no extra per-branch fee |
| E-invoicing | Is the ZATCA-compliant simplified invoice included or an upgrade? | Included, with simplified invoices reported within the deadline automatically |
| Accounting and inventory | Does the till update stock and accounts, or do you need another system? | Every sale deducts stock and creates its accounting entry automatically |
A worked example: a restaurant with two branches and three tills
The calculation uses Snad's published figures — the item that usually flips the comparison is a per-till or per-branch fee.
Billed annually: 3990 SAR per year.
It is the sixth user — not the sixth till — that adds 20 SAR per month.
