About Treinta and its alternatives
Treinta is a business management system for small businesses. According to its site, it handles sales, inventory, customers, suppliers, employees and accounts from a phone or computer, and it is available in many Latin American countries as well as the United States, Spain, Portugal, Angola and Mozambique. Its site lists point-of-sale, accounting, invoicing and inventory among its core functions.
When comparing alternatives in this category, weigh pricing structure first. Some tools charge a flat monthly fee, others add per-store or per-employee add-ons, and some take a share of each card payment. Also check which countries and tax rules a product supports, what integrations it offers, how support is delivered, and what the contract terms require, including whether hardware can be cancelled.

- Finance & Accounting
Square is a payments and point-of-sale system used by shops, restaurants and service businesses in the US. You would choose it over Treinta if you mainly need card acceptance, a countertop or mobile terminal, and payouts that land fast, and you are fine with a US-focused tool rather than a Latin American one.
Where it is strong
- Card payments and point-of-sale hardware come from the same provider
- Built for the US market with US pricing and payouts
- Has a pricing page with separate processing and software plans
Where it falls short
- Pricing differs by country, and the supplied text is US-only
- Does not cover the Latin American countries Treinta serves
- Pricing:
- In the United States, the pricing page lists processing fees and plan prices, but the figures in the text supplied here are not clear enough to quote exact rates, so check the pricing page directly.

2.Clover
Best for: Full-service and quick-service restaurants that need kitchen displays, kiosks and online ordering
- Pricing
- Not published
- Category
- E-commerce
Clover is a point-of-sale system built mainly for restaurants and food service, with countertop and handheld hardware, kitchen display screens, and a self-service kiosk. A restaurant owner would pick it over Treinta when the main need is table service, kitchen routing and online ordering with delivery app integration, rather than a broad business management tool for inventory, accounting and suppliers.
Where it is strong
- Restaurant hardware line includes countertop, handheld, kitchen display and kiosk devices
- Built-in online ordering with menu management and a checkout page for your own website
- Connects to third-party delivery apps and reports itself as the number one small-business POS in a 2025 Javelin scorecard
Where it falls short
- Pricing is shown only as a per-transaction starting point, so monthly costs are hard to compare from the page alone
- Hardware is sold on subscription terms that are non-cancelable and not eligible for refunds
- Pricing:
- Pricing is not published on the site.

- Pricing
- £29 reader, fees apply
- Category
- Other
PayPal Point of Sale is a card terminal and point-of-sale system that takes payments through a PayPal Reader or by tapping a phone. Someone would pick it over Treinta when their main need is accepting card payments on the go, not running the back office of a business.
Where it is strong
- Takes contactless card payments with Tap to Pay on a phone via the app
- The PayPal Reader has a large touchscreen and connects by USB-C cable or Bluetooth
- The app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play
Where it falls short
- Pricing and fees are shown only for the UK and Netherlands sites, so costs elsewhere are not confirmed
- The product is built around payments, so it does not describe the inventory, accounting or supplier tools that Treinta covers
- Pricing:
- In the United Kingdom, the PayPal Reader costs £29 excluding VAT and additional card readers cost £69 excluding VAT, with fees applying when using the reader.
- LFree + €7/mo per store
4.Loyverse
Best for: Small retail shops, cafés and restaurants that want a free POS with inventory and staff tracking
- Pricing
- Free + €7/mo per store
- Category
- Other
Loyverse is a free point-of-sale app that runs on phones, tablets and Android POS devices, with inventory, employee tracking and a basic loyalty program. Choose it over Treinta if you want a free POS for a single shop or café and do not need Treinta's accounting, invoicing or Latin American tax and payment focus.
Where it is strong
- The core POS is free to start, with no credit card required.
- Works offline, so sales keep recording when the connection drops.
- Covers inventory with low stock alerts, employee clock-in and multi-store management.
Where it falls short
- Advanced features sit behind paid add-ons that add up with each store and employee.
- The site does not describe accounting or electronic invoicing features comparable to Treinta's.
- Pricing:
- Loyverse's core POS is free, with optional paid add-ons at €7 per month per store, €5 per month per employee and €25 per month for the extra add-on listed, and pricing is shown in euros.
- $29/mo + 2.9% + 30¢
5.Shopify
Best for: Product sellers who want an online store and multichannel sales, including merchants selling across borders
- Pricing
- $29/mo + 2.9% + 30¢
- Category
- E-commerce
Shopify is a commerce platform for selling online, in person and through AI chat channels, with its own checkout, store builder and POS add-ons. Someone would pick it over Treinta if they mainly sell products online or across borders and need a branded e-commerce store, not a local business management system for in-store sales, inventory and accounting.
Where it is strong
- Built-in checkout and store builder for launching an online shop quickly
- Sells across social channels, marketplaces and AI chats from one platform
- Large app store with 21,000+ apps to add specialized features
Where it falls short
- Pricing is in USD and card rates vary by plan and region, so the total cost takes some working out
- Not a local accounting or invoicing tool built for Latin American tax rules, which Treinta focuses on
- Pricing:
- Plans start at $29 per month on the Basic tier, with card rates from 2.9% + 30¢ USD online, and Plus starts at $2,300 per month.
