Best POS systems in Saudi Arabia (2026), compared

Key takeaways

• The POS systems most often mentioned in Saudi Arabia are inyad, Foodics, Rewaa, Qoyod, Marn, Zid POS, Hala, Daftra, Odoo, Sapaad and Loyverse. For large chains and hotels, there are also Oracle Simphony and NCR Aloha.
• They do not aim at the same businesses: some are built for restaurants and cafés, some for retail, and some are accounting software with a POS inside.
• The most visible difference is transparency: some publish prices on a Saudi page, some in US dollars, some only on quote.
• In Saudi Arabia, the deciding question is phase 2 of e-invoicing (integration): what the company says about it, and how it appears in ZATCA's directory of solution providers.
• Also check the device it needs, selling offline, mada card payments linked to the till and support you can reach in the Kingdom, then try the system with your own catalogue at your busiest hour before you commit.

How we compared

inyad is one of the eleven POS systems in this comparison. To keep it fair, we only used what each company publishes itself, on its website or in its documentation, checked on 29 October 2026. When something is not published, we say so rather than guess. Offers change often: check them with the company before you choose.

Each system is looked at on the same criteria:

• Price transparency: prices published or not, in which currency, with or without a free plan, a trial or a commitment.
• Device: does the POS run on a phone, tablet or computer you already own, or does it need the company's own hardware?
• Offline mode: can you keep selling when the internet cuts?
• Card payments: is the card terminal linked to the till, and does the company name mada?
• Support in Saudi Arabia: a Saudi number, WhatsApp, and someone who sets up the system and trains your team.
• Trade fit: restaurants (tables, kitchen), retail (barcodes, stock, variants), several branches.
• E-invoicing: what the company says about phase 2 (integration with the FATOORA platform), and how it appears in the directory of solution providers published by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA). ZATCA itself states that being listed in this directory is not an approval of the solution, so we only write "listed in ZATCA's directory".

The best POS system is the one that fits your business.

Prices: who publishes what?

Price is often the first question, and the answer is not always online. Here is what each company shows at the time of writing.

• A free plan, with prices on its Saudi pricing page: inyad, in Saudi riyals.
• Prices published on their Saudi pages: Foodics (monthly plans, with no currency printed in the page text, and hardware quoted after the demo), Rewaa (in riyals excluding VAT, with a one or two year commitment and a 14-day free trial) and Qoyod (in riyals, yearly or monthly, with the POS as a paid add-on per user and a 14-day free trial).
• Prices published in US dollars: Daftra (on its plans page, with a 14-day free trial), Odoo (one app free, then a price per user that depends on the visitor's country, with setup by a partner charged separately) and Loyverse (a free POS with paid add-ons).
• No prices published: Marn, Zid POS (with a 14-day free trial), Hala (we could not read its pricing page at the time of writing) and Sapaad (on quote, with a 14-day free trial). Oracle and NCR publish no price for Saudi Arabia.

A published price does not tell the whole story: always ask what is included (setup, training, hardware, updates, the FATOORA integration) and how long you commit for.

Compare a POS system on what the company publishes, not on what the sales pitch promises.

Which POS system for your business?

Coffee shop, café or restaurant

Look for table management, a kitchen display and takeaway orders in the POS itself. inyad, Foodics, Rewaa (with its restaurant bundles), Marn, Odoo, Sapaad and Loyverse cover restaurants, and Foodics, Marn and Sapaad are built for them first. Oracle Simphony and NCR Aloha aim at large chains.

Shop, grocery or supermarket

You need barcodes, stock that drops with every sale, product variants, and often credit sales for regular customers in the neighbourhood. inyad, Rewaa, Qoyod, Marn, Zid POS, Daftra, Odoo and Loyverse cover retail. If you also sell through an online store on Zid, Zid POS brings the two together.

Barber shop or beauty salon

The POS has to work with appointments and client records. inyad, Rewaa and Marn mention salons.

Several branches

You need one catalogue, central prices and combined reports. Most systems in this comparison handle several branches, at different plan levels: ask which plan includes it, and how each branch connects to the FATOORA platform.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best POS system in Saudi Arabia?

There is not one. A restaurant looks for tables and a kitchen display, a grocery for barcodes, stock and credit sales. Start from your business, then compare published prices, the device needed, offline mode, support in the Kingdom, and what each company says about phase 2 of e-invoicing.

Is there a free POS system in Saudi Arabia?

Yes. inyad has a free plan, Odoo one free app, and Loyverse a free POS with paid add-ons. Rewaa, Qoyod, Zid POS, Daftra and Sapaad offer a 14-day free trial. Check what the free plan includes, what becomes paid as your business grows, and how it handles e-invoicing.

Do I need the company's own device?

Not always. inyad runs on Android and Windows, Rewaa on Android, Qoyod on Android and in the browser on Windows, Zid POS on iOS and Android, Daftra on computers, Android and iOS, Odoo in the browser, Sapaad in the browser and on Android and iOS, and Loyverse on your own phone or tablet. Foodics and Marn run on iPad, and each also has its own device.

Are these POS systems ready for phase 2 of e-invoicing?

At the time of writing (October 2026), phase 2 (integration) is rolled out in waves set by ZATCA, which notifies the businesses concerned in advance. Check your own business's status on ZATCA's website, and look up your provider in the directory of solution providers it publishes. Then ask the provider, in writing, how its system connects to the FATOORA platform.
