Our verdict
Payrexx suits small-business teams that want card and payment tools plus a till on a free plan, and a Swiss legal entity behind it. A 30 day trial sits alongside that free plan, so the entry cost is low. The catch is scope: the free plan is payment tools, Tap to Pay and QR Pay.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The free plan covers payment tools, Tap to Pay and QR Pay, so a counter can run without a paid subscription.
- A 30 day trial gives a paid tier time to be tested before any commitment.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which covers phone and a help centre rather than email alone.
- The legal entity is PAYREXX AG, based in Switzerland, so the company behind the till is a named one rather than a reseller.
- Lower entry prices than the category median of €21.92 for price from points.
Cons
- The free plan is scoped to payment tools, Tap to Pay and QR Pay, so inventory or staff scheduling tools sit in a paid tier.
- Only 30 days of trial time sits between a paid tier and a real decision, unlike a free plan that can be kept indefinitely.
- The free plan is bounded by Free plan: payment tools, Tap to Pay, QR Pay rather than a device count, so a shop weighing per-station pricing should compare SpotOn at $0 per station All-In plan.
Who it suits
- Small-business owners who want Tap to Pay and QR Pay on a free plan from a named Swiss entity.
- Shops and cafés that take card payments on a phone or a till and want email, phone and help centre support.
- Buyers comparing a free plan against a 30 day trial before picking a paid tier.
Who should look elsewhere
- SpotOn, whose usage limits are $0 per station All-In plan rather than a payment tools set, suits operators who price by station.
- Toast POS, where usage limits are Up to 2 terminals, fits teams counting terminals instead of payment features.
- Upserve, whose usage limits are GO free plan for single location, is the pick for a single location wanting a free plan tied to one site.
Intro and renewal prices
Payrexx runs two ways in. The free plan costs nothing and needs no card, and a 30 day trial sits on top of it for anyone who wants to see a paid tier first. Price from on the wider category sits at €13.15, with the lower quartile at €8.76 and the upper quartile at €51.74, so the starting figure for a till and payments bundle is a low one next to the field. Renewal figures in this category sit at €51.74 in the middle of the range, which is the number to weigh if a free plan is not enough. Keep the plan name next to each figure: the free plan, then the trial, then the paid tier you keep.
What you get free
The free plan is a real one, not a cut-down demo. It covers payment tools, Tap to Pay and QR Pay, which is enough to take money at a counter and keep paying by card or by phone. A 30 day trial is offered alongside it, so a shop can try a paid plan and step back to free rather than lose the till entirely. What sits outside the free set is inventory, staff scheduling and reporting, and those need a paid tier. Compared with SpotOn at $0 per station All-In plan and Upserve at GO free plan for single location, the free plan here is defined by payment features rather than by stations or locations.
The company behind it
The provider is PAYREXX AG, registered in Switzerland, and it has been trading since 2014. That is the name on the imprint behind the payments and the till, which matters for a business handing over card handling. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so help arrives by email, by phone and through a help centre rather than by ticket alone. The audience it is built for is small business, and the tool type is payments and pos, pairing payments with the point of sale. No licence or regulator is named in the published details, so a shop that needs a named acquiring or scheme partner should ask.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free plan for taking card payments?+
Yes. The free plan covers payment tools, Tap to Pay and QR Pay, so a counter can take card and phone payments without a paid subscription. That is narrower than a full till package, since inventory and staff tools sit outside it. Category pricing for comparison sits at €21.92.
How long is the free trial, and what happens after it?+
The free trial runs 30 days, and a free plan is offered alongside it. After a trial ends you can drop back to the free plan rather than lose the till. The trial is a fixed window, so the free plan is the longer arrangement.
What does the free plan leave out?+
The free plan is defined as payment tools, Tap to Pay and QR Pay, and the wider point of sale work sits outside it. Budget for a paid tier if you need inventory, staff scheduling or reporting. Its tool type is payments and pos, so payments and the till are the core.
Who runs Payrexx and where is it based?+
The legal entity is PAYREXX AG, based in Switzerland, and it has traded since 2014. A named company on the imprint is useful when a shop is handing over card handling. The audience it targets is small business.
How do I get help if the till goes down mid-service?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so help is available by email, by phone and through a help centre. Phone matters on a service floor where a queue is waiting. Email and the help centre cover questions that do not need a call.
How does the free plan compare with SpotOn and Upserve?+
The free plan here is set by features, with payment tools, Tap to Pay and QR Pay included. SpotOn lists usage limits as $0 per station All-In plan, which prices by station instead. Upserve lists GO free plan for single location, so it suits a single location wanting a free plan tied to one site.
Is Payrexx built for a small business or a large chain?+
The stated audience is small business, so a small shop is the intended customer. A single counter running Tap to Pay and QR Pay fits that shape well. Multi-site operators should check coverage for their market before committing.
What will a paid plan cost at renewal?+
The published free plan and the 30 day trial do not show a renewal figure for a paid tier, so budget from the category instead. Paid plans in this category centre on €51.74, with the range running €14.91 to €121.90. Confirm the renewal price on your chosen plan before the trial ends.
