Our verdict
Epos Now suits small businesses ready to pay for a point of sale system rather than start free. It starts at $39, which sits above $0 and $0, and the free plan is no, so a free trial is the only no cost way in.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A free trial lets you size the system up before you commit any money
- Point of sale built for small business buyers rather than enterprise teams

- Support runs on help centre only, with no phone or chat listed
Who it suits
- Small business owners replacing a paper register or a basic till

- Buyers shopping on the lowest entry price, since Toast POS starts at $0
Plans and pricing
Epos Now starts at $39, and the free plan is no. That puts it above the cheapest shelves in the group, where SpotOn starts at $0, Toast POS at $0 and Upserve at $0. The route in without cost is the free trial, which lets a small business run the till first and decide afterwards whether a paid plan is worth the step up.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Epos Now cost to start?+
Entry pricing starts at $39. There is no free plan, so the paid figure is the first number you meet rather than a later step up. Readers budgeting from day one should set aside that amount before anything else.
Is there a free plan?+
The free plan is no. Epos Now is a paid product, and the only no cost route listed is the free trial. That trial is the practical way to judge the system before a small business starts paying, and the paid step after it starts at $39.
Can I try Epos Now before I pay?+
A free trial is listed as the model, so you can run a till on the system first. After the trial, the paid entry sits at $39, so treat the trial as a check of the till and the training.
How does the entry price compare with other point of sale systems?+
Epos Now starts at $39, while SpotOn starts at $0, Toast POS at $0 and Upserve at $0. On entry price alone, it sits well above all three in this group.
What kind of business is Epos Now built for?+
The stated audience is small business and the tool type is pos, a point of sale system. It is aimed at shops and counters rather than large operations, which is the shape most single site retailers and cafes need.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on help centre. No phone or chat line is listed, so a problem during a busy service has to be worked through from the help centre. Plan for self service rather than a call back.
Which of the alternatives costs less to begin?+
All three listed alternatives start below Epos Now at $39. SpotOn starts at $0, Toast POS at $0 and Upserve at $0, so on entry price each of them costs a small business less to open on.
