you want a free core POS, you pay in US dollars without trouble, and you do not need credit and debt management or an AI assistant. It supports many more languages than we do and has apps for iOS and Android.
Choose NewHope POS if
you sell in Tanzania, want to pay in shillings, sell on credit and need to track debtors, and want stock, FIFO profit, expenses and reports in one system with a Kiswahili screen.
- Credit and debt management is part of the product
- Prices and limits shown in shillings
- Kiswahili screens, receipts and messages
How to decide
Make a few real sales in both with your own products, switch off your data and see what still works, then compare what you would pay after a year. Both are easy to try.
