Our verdict on each
DuoPOS
DuoPOS is a Chilean point of sale and online store builder for small businesses selling in person and online, with a 3 user plan at CLP 19,000 and e-invoicing included. It suits operators who want a single system for the till and the web, though the free route is a trial rather than a plan.
Upserve
Upserve suits single-location small businesses that want a point of sale and payments in one place without a subscription at entry. The GO plan is listed from $0, and support runs on chat and help centre, which keeps the cost question narrow and the trade-off about scale rather than spend.

Pros and cons
DuoPOS
Pros
- The 3 user plan at CLP 19,000 covers a whole counter team without buying seats separately.
- Local compliance covers e invoicing, the scheme Chilean documents need, rather than sitting outside the product.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, and the 30 day trial outlasts the 14 day median in this group.
Cons
- There is no free plan, so the only free route is the 30 day trial.
- Document issuance stops at Up to 200 documents/month.
- Integrations stand at 4 and included seats stop at 3 users, so a growing counter needs more of both.
Upserve
Pros
- The GO plan is listed from $0, so a single-location counter can take card payments without an entry fee.
- A free plan is confirmed, and the listed model is a free plan, free plan, so there is no introductory rate that later steps up to a higher tier.
- Tool coverage is pos and payments, so the till and the payment side sit in one product for a small counter.
Cons
- The free GO plan covers a single location, GO free plan for single location, so another counter or site falls outside the entry plan.
- Support runs on chat and help centre only, with no phone or email route listed.
- Toast POS's entry offering covers Up to 2 terminals, so a small multi-terminal setup faces a looser cap there.

Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs a permanent free tier, since the free route here is a trial, so check Ko-fi at $12 first.
- Sellers priced outside Chilean pesos, who should weigh Mitienda Uruguay at UYU 400 and Shafrik at XOF 9,900 against CLP 19,000.
- Counters that outgrow 3 users or 4 integrations, who should test Mitienda Uruguay at UYU 400 before settling.

Questions about each
DuoPOS
How much does DuoPOS cost?+
The listed entry plan is CLP 19,000 and it includes 3 users, so a small counter is covered without buying seats separately. Both the till and the web store sit in the same subscription. Readers budgeting in another currency have $12 and XOF 9,900 to compare against CLP 19,000.
Is there a free plan, and how long is the trial?+
No. The free plan answer is no, so there is no free tier that stays free after the trial. What DuoPOS offers instead is a free trial of 30 days, above the 14 day median across this group. Shops that want a permanent free storefront should look at Ko-fi and Mitienda Uruguay instead.
Upserve
How much does Upserve cost to get going?+
The GO plan is listed from $0, and a free plan sits in the lineup. Because the published model is a free plan, free plan, the entry figure and the ongoing figure are the same rather than a promotional rate that steps up later.
Is there a free plan, and what does it cover?+
A free plan is listed, and the entry price is $0. The stated limit is GO free plan for single location, so a single-location counter fits inside the free tier without moving onto a paid plan.
