Software compared
What to Use compared 16 point of sale systems for retail stores in Australia, checked against each product's own website in September 2026. The ones whose websites confirm the most of the 10 capabilities retail stores most often need are Hike POS (8 of 10), Retail Express (8 of 10) and Fedelta POS (8 of 10). 7 of them publish a price.
Ordered by how many of the 10 capabilities retail stores most often ask about the product's own website confirms, then by whether it publishes a price. Prices are shown as each product publishes them and are not ranked against each other, because their units differ. It is a count of confirmed capabilities, not a quality rating, and nobody can pay to be listed or placed.
