The table shows the prices of eight cash register offers, five for Germany and three for Austria, as the vendors publish them. Every value has its numbered source at the bottom of the page, with the date we read it. «Not documented» means the vendor’s page does not publish that price: it is not zero.

How we chose the offers

For each vendor we took the smallest configuration that takes cash and card payments, with the prices the public price list states:

• SumUp Kasse in Germany: the two-screen device, basic software at 0 € a month and TSE included according to the vendor [2]. The page does not say whether the card reader is included, so we add the cheapest reader in the price list, the Solo Lite [3].
• ready2order in two variants per country: with the readyMini, which the price list describes as the smallest register and also a card terminal with readyPay; or on your own device with the SumUp Solo reader sold by ready2order. The subscription is the yearly one paid in advance, the only one whose price can be read on the page [5] [6].
• orderbird MINI: a device with printer and card reader, sold «from» 149 €, with the yearly licence [7]. The page does not say whether prices include VAT.
• orderbird PRO, package S: 99.90 € a month with orderbird card payments; the page publishes neither the hardware nor the card fees [8].
• helloCash Basic in Austria, on your own device, with a SumUp reader: helloCash states it connects to SumUp terminals [10], and the rates are SumUp’s for Austria [4].

What the table does not say

The configurations do not have the same features: a restaurant system with table management is not the same as a register for a kiosk. The table compares prices, not features, and does not say which system suits your business. For the cost over three years with your takings, use the calculator.
