Free POS and cashier software for shops and restaurants
You can run a cashier free in Snad on a permanent plan with one user (1) and up to 3 apps, recording sales and linking them to inventory in the same account. Two limits to know before starting: e-invoicing with a QR code starts from the paid plans, and one cashier means one user — a shop with a morning and an evening shift needs two accounts.
The limits — read them before signing up
We state them first, not last: finding out after entering your data is worse than knowing now
One user (1)
Enough for an owner who runs things personally. When your accountant or a salesperson needs their own login, upgrading becomes a necessity rather than an improvement — sharing one account costs you the record of who did what.
Up to 3 apps
You choose them from all of Snad's apps with no exception — accounting, sales, inventory, point of sale or others. The cap is on the count, not the type, so no app is withheld from the free plan.
e-invoicing with a QR code is not available
This is the most important limit and you should know it before signing up, not after. You can issue invoices, store them and follow up collection on the free plan, but e-invoicing compliant with the e-invoicing system starts from the paid plans. If your business is registered for VAT, this means the free plan does not cover your statutory obligation.
A watermark on documents
Documents issued on the free plan carry a Snad mark. It has no operational effect, but it is visible to the customer receiving the document — which is what pushes many businesses to upgrade before any technical reason.

Four kinds of “free” — which is this?
The same word means different things, and the difference decides what you pay later
| Kind | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| A permanent free plan | Continues with no expiry date within published limits — a number of users, apps or features. This is the only kind you can build ongoing operations on, provided its limits are written down before you sign up rather than after. |
| A temporary free trial | Full features for a set period, after which it stops or converts to a subscription. Useful for serious evaluation, but not a permanent solution — and confusing it with a free plan is the most common misunderstanding in this search. |
| Open-source software | The licence is free; running it is not. It needs hosting, updates, backups and someone to handle them. Suitable for a business with in-house technical capacity and expensive for one without — and the cost shows up in people's time rather than in a subscription invoice. |
| A copy downloaded onto a single machine | Your data sits on one machine with no automatic backup, no access from elsewhere and no shared work. Its most serious drawback is that tax compliance becomes entirely your responsibility: e-invoicing has requirements a local file does not meet. |
When does the free plan stop being enough?
We write it plainly — knowing the ceiling in advance beats hitting it
- You needed more than one cashier or more than one shift with separate accounts
- You registered for VAT, making e-invoicing with a QR code an obligation
- You opened a second branch and needed independent balances and reports per branch
- The watermark started appearing on the receipts your customers take away
